Expedition 1000 with Dave Cornthwaite

Ep-101-Expedition-1000-3

Yesterday we talked a bit about Expedition 1000, but what kind of journeys are these really? Why does he undertake them? How much planning does he do? The questions are endless.

Dave patiently answers all of them and hands out some great advice on lifestyle, packing, and working on the road along the way.

We end our awesome interview with some travel mishaps that prove that perhaps, Dave isn’t so superhuman after all…

From Couch Potato to Adventurer

Ep-100-Dave-Cornthwaite

No matter how many times I try, I just can’t get them to admit it.

We’ve had adventurers on before, and I always ask the same question.

So, you’re a superhuman right?

Turns out none of them will admit to it.

They just keep telling they’re regular Joes.

Or in Dave’s case, a couch potato.

Dave Cornthwaithe joins me today to talk about his Expedition 1000 project – 25 journeys of 1000 miles each. All made on manpower alone.

Skateboard, kayak, bicycles, and more; if Dave can make it go, then it’s going.

We discuss moving from an unfulfilled life to one full of joy and spontaneity, how to deal with the people who are critical of these choices and living life to the fullest.

This is part one of a two-part interview with Dave Cornwaithe. Be sure to check in tomorrow for the rest!

Top 20 Travel Books Part I

Ep.-97---Top-20-Books-Part-I


For those of us with a serious case of wanderlust (or those of us who want one) there’s only one solution.

Reading about travel.

Or is that the problem?

Today I bring back Nick, a good buddy of mine who shares my love of reading about travel. We each listed out our top 10 books about travel for a master top 20 lists sure to increase the size of your bookshelf.

In fact, we listed SO many books in our honorable mentions (quite by accident, you know how it is) and decided to split this up into two episodes. Today’s podcast will be the honorable mentions and books 10-8 on each of our lists.

Make sure to check back tomorrow for the rest of our list! And probably some more honorable mentions…

Have you read any of the books we mentioned today? Leave a comment below with your thoughts!

Renting Your Apartment on AirBnB & Rickshaw Racing in India

Ep 96-Charlie-Grosso

Did you know that AirBnB can MAKE you money while you travel?

Many of us have homes (or would like to have homes) that we still have to pay for while we’re out on the road. The cost of that can stop any of us from being able to travel the way we want to travel.

But Charlie knows a secret.

You can rent your place out while you’re gone!

She shares her experiences renting out her New York apartment while she travels the world, the ups and downs, and how you can do the same.

We also chat about some of her best tips for saving money on travel, the Rickshaw Run, and the most serious travel mishap that we’ve heard. Yet, she still travels on.

Do you have any questions for Charlie about renting out your place on AirBnB? Let me know in the comments and I’ll pass them along!

This is Part II of a 2 part interview. Click here to listen to Part I.
