If you didn’t know how to sail but wanted to circumnavigate the globe, what would your first action be?
Bo Cordle bought a sailboat.
That he didn’t really know how to sail (but he had read a book once..).
Today Bo joins us to talk about his dream to sail around the world, how he came up with the idea, what he’s been doing to prepare for his trip (like learning how to sail), and how he ended up getting flogged in a Russian sauna.
We also speak quite a bit about his famous bucket list, which includes everything from singing karaoke to living abroad, and how it helped him to discover his passion.
Bo and I would love to hear what some of the items on YOUR bucket list are, so please leave them in the comments below! We’ll be putting some of ours there as well!
Did you know that you can get cheaper flights to Antarctica from Chile than almost anywhere else?

Lauren McLeod knows, and she and her partner have assembled a team of flight experts at Flightfox to help others find the best (and cheapest) flights that fit their needs.
Today Lauren joins us to talk about the inception of Flightfox, her original site Globetroopers, and to share the ups and downs of creating your own business on the road.
She also shares some great travel stories and tips, including one of our best travel mishap stories to date, so make sure to listen after the “ending!”
