Nick Hersh!

You may remember him from our podcast on our favorite travel books, or our talks on being a diplomat abroad.

Today we each share our top 5 food destinations in Europe after discussing the original list from Thrillist, coming up with some awesome, and surprising, places!

Top 10 Travel Questions Googled in 2015

Ep-214

Last year we started a new tradition, and this year we’re determined to continue it.

Even if the questions weren’t, exactly, what we thought they’d be.

In 2015 we answered the top 10 travel questions that were Googled in 2014, tons of questions about how to travel and make money, how to start a travel blog, and much more along those lines.

This year?

It’s all about domestic travel!

Join us as we muddle through places we’ve never been, but somehow manage to be entertaining about anyway.

It’s probably because Napkins is joining us once again.

So let us know if you’ve been to any of the places mentioned in today’s podcast, we’ve got some road trips to plan!

The Roundtable: Solo Travel

Ep-213

The roundtable is back! Today’s guests include:

and of course, myself!

Today I ask them a question that I hear a lot from listeners, but don’t have much experience with myself.

Traveling Solo

All of our guests today have done extensive solo travel, and they all have a unique perspective to bring to the questions of traveling alone.

They speak about the importance of traveling alone, what you can get out of the experience, and how to meet people on the road. We also discuss a little about traveling with a friend or family member, and how important it is to match travel styles!

Many of you are wanting to take solo trips but might be scared to go at it alone.

But the funny thing is, you’re never alone on the road!

Don’t wait for other people to be ready. Where will your first solo trip take you?

Going From Malaria to The Startup Diaries with Fabian Dittrich, Part 2

Ep-211

Today we get into the Startup Diaries. Fabian regales us of tales of working from the road in South America with his entire company while filming the stories of entrepreneurs along the way.

We discuss how to manage client expectations when you’re working from the road and the challenges that Fabian and his company faced while working from a Jeep throughout South America.

However working while traveling taught Fabian something extremely important, it’s better to work efficiently than to work a lot. You do, after all, have to have time to see things while you’re traveling! He’s even kind enough to share some of his tips for efficiency with us today.

While we may have spoiled his travel mishap in the first half of the show, Fabian brings up something else very important to talk about today.

Many of us chase the Location Independent lifestyle, but it’s important to realize why you’re doing it, and what you’re going to do with the freedom afforded when you get it.

So, what will you do with your freedom?

Going From Malaria to The Startup Diaries with Fabian Dittrich, Part 1

Ep-210

Fabian Dittrich is well known for his awesome show, The Startup Diaries.

But how did he get there? What started the journey to the filming of such an awesome show?

Turns out, it’s not what you think.

He got Malaria.

And he’s thankful he did.

Today Fabian joins us to chat about how he went from Malaria to a series of life events that lead to him taking his entire company on a road trip through South America filming the Startup Diaries along the way.

On his journey, he heard the standard job advice (decided it wasn’t for him), and figured out that one of the best ways for him to make decisions was to base them on whether or not something would make a good story.

So, what do you think? Do YOU think it was a good story?
