If you travel when you’re younger you’re sure to have heard it before.
Oh, good to get it out of your system before you have kids!
Like the travel bug is one that goes away once you have a baby. Silly people.
Derek Loudermilk has spent the last several years traveling the globe while building his location independent business. Recently, he’s just been blessed with a newborn son.
And they’re back on the road.
Derek joins me today to talk about how he became location independent and how having his son has changed his travel habits.

Falling down the rabbit hole is very easy when visiting Wait But Why. Tim Urban writes about any subject that interests him after embarking on a journey to learn everything he can about his topic. Many a project has been procrastinated on as I learn the in’s and out of a thing I never thought I’d be that interested in.
Today Tim joins me to chat about his experiences with Wait But Why, how he picks his topics, his research process, and how he loses himself in the learning.
A couple of years ago, Tim held a poll and allowed his audience to choose the route he would take around the world, visiting 5 countries over the span of 10 weeks and learning a lot about the local cultures. We spend some time going through some of the moments from that trip and the lessons learned along the way.

Summer is the most popular time to travel. In Europe, they even take an entire month off in the summer to travel around the world!
And since summer is right around the corner, we figured it was time to talk about some of our favorites. Rules for today’s list? We have to have been to that place before so many ideal summer destinations may not be mentioned because we simply haven’t been! But we’ll be working on that!
While Heather prefers the beach, I tend to skew towards awesome cities, so you’ll get a breadth of places to inspire the wanderlust in today’s episode.
We liked Asheville so much that we ended up there twice last year!
Lately, we’ve had quite a few people asking us for our recommendations to Asheville, and when I went to send them this episode, it didn’t exist, so here we are!
Heather joins me today to oust her favorite donuts (Beilers Donuts in Philly) for a new all-time favorite!
We also discuss some other favorite places to eat, and of course, our favorite breweries. Cause you can’t talk about Asheville without talking about craft beer!
