Today Jason joins me once again to discuss some of the most beautiful places on earth. Or perhaps to break the rules and throw in honorable mentions left and right. One of these days I’ll make him stick to the rulebook.
From places you can’t even pronounce (don’t worry, we can’t either) to locations that might be just a drive away we travel the world with our choices. And after this episode, you’ll be yearning to travel too.
Where are some of the most beautiful places you’ve been? Do you agree with some of our choices? Let us know in the comments!
When you follow me on social media you might think that my travel was all delicious food, great beer, and amazing vistas. You’d be wrong.
Those things do happen (quite a lot actually), but there are moments in between when things go just a touch sideways.
Those are the moments that you’ll remember forever.
Heather joins me today to talk about two of our worst travel mishaps; you’ve heard bits and pieces of the stories these past 73 episodes and it’s finally time to tell the whole story.
You’re sure to have a laugh, as we recount our time stuck in Singapore and getting our “Thailand tattoos”.
Make sure to leave your travel mishaps in the comments below, we shared ours, now it’s your turn!

What happens when you put two digital nomads on a podcast together?
We geek out about location independent lifestyles.
Today, we have on Rob from Making It Anywhere, a site that shows people how to start making a living while traveling the world.
From questions like
“I want to be a Digital Nomad, but where on earth do I start?” to “I don’t have the kind of skills for location independence.”
we cover it all.
We chat about how Rob and Mish (his wife and business partner) started their journey to becoming digital nomads through Fiverr and Elance before slowly moving their way up the digital ladder to bigger projects and income streams.
Advice on every topic relating to being a digital nomad is discussed, from where to start and how to think outside the box to travel schedules and finding other like-minded people on the road.
If there’s one thing to take away from this podcast, it’s this:
From excellent beer to delicious coffee, the best ice cream in the world, and amazing food carts around every corner Portland is a dream come true!

Mid Afternoon – Hit up a Happy Hour at any of the delicious restaurants around town. Dinner – Either Tasty n Alder or Andina in the Pearl District Dessert – The Salt and Straw

Often when we decide to follow a path outside of the norm people have one word for us.
Crazy
John Francis has heard that he used to describe his choices more times than he can count.
After the oil spill in San Francisco Bay in the ’70s, John Francis decided that he would help raise environmental consciousness and stopped taking all forms of motorized transportation.
People thought he was absolutely nuts.
While on this journey he decided that he would stop speaking for one day because he realized he had stopped listening to people.
17 years later he broke his vow of silence.
John joins us to talk about his journey of silence and walking and what he learned along the way. He shares the world’s reaction to his choices, and how his life changed as a result.
With some hilarious stories, some heartfelt moments, and some wisdom along the way, we find that maybe crazy isn’t as bad as people think.
Planetwalking is moving into a new phase, and you can help it get there by checking out John’s IndieGoGo campaign and spreading the word!
