Amanda Hathorn-Geary has spent over a decade at sea working on Cruise ships and traveling the world! Today she joins me to share her vast array of knowledge on the subject.
Regardless of your answer, today’s podcast is very informative about an avenue of travel I knew nothing about! Amanda tells us some of the tips and tricks of living on a Cruise ship, the best way to get a job, which Cruise lines to consider, salary ranges, perks, and even some of the downsides to working at sea.
Tim Leffel has joined us on the podcast before through our Paradise Pack sessions to talk briefly about his experiences living abroad for half the price of the USA.
Today he’s back for a full-fledged episode where he shares some tips on becoming a freelance travel writer and discusses some of the best places to move if you’re looking to have a better living for a lower price.
We also discuss the benefits of having multiple income streams, and how, even when you don’t have to be, we’ve managed to stay cheap travelers at heart.
Brent has traveled the world and visited over 150 hostels in 30 countries.
Along the way, he had decided to start his own hostel, like many travelers contemplate.
But when the conditions presented themselves, he jumped on the chance and is now the owner of HK Austin, an awesome mansion from 1862 turned modern-day hostel.
Today Brent joins me to chat about his journey from travel junkie, to travel junkie who also owns a hostel and some of the steps involved in the process.
We also discuss the differences in the perception of hostels between Europe and the United States, and his quirky journey to becoming an “Amazon Bestseller”.
You can check out the hostel here, but one condition; you have to let us know what your favorite Taco joint is if you go!
We’ve made it a bit of a tradition around here to write a post or record a podcast each year about the things that we’re thankful for.
This year is no different!
