Sometimes when you visit a new place things are just so outside of your expectations and comfort zone that you just loose it.
That happened to us in Myanmar.
Twice.
We’ve had a wonderful time during our stay in Burma, but along the way, there were moments where both of us were tempted to storm out of our guesthouses. Heather to find a better place to stay, and mine to just leave the country entirely (Mine was a little more extravagant).
In both cases, we managed to keep it together and find a way to make it work, but getting there was a little tough.
Today Heather and I detail our respective freakouts because we do, after all, strive to entertain you. And what better way than to talk about our own mishaps?
Supermarkets, cars, and the shock of too much choice provide some interesting points of contrast to the rest of the world. We chat about the difficulties of re-entry after years abroad before moving onto his big project…
Forks, A Quest for Culture, Cuisine, and Connection, a gorgeous coffee table book about his travels around the world. Complete with recipes and photos from the 35 countries he visited on his journey.
We discuss his quest to get his book published via crowdfunding and the new projects he currently has in the works.
From travel stories and crowdfunding to tips on saving money on the road, Allan shares some of his seemingly endless adventures and tips with us on another awesome podcast!
Just the name conjures up images of majestic mountains, incredible landscapes, and some of the world’s most enchanting natural beauty.
For many people, trekking in Nepal is a lifelong dream.
It certainly was for Jason, and last December, he was able to achieve it by hiking through the Himalayas for an entire month.
Today, he joins us to give a complete recap of what the experience was like (hint: amazing) and also provide everything you could ever want to know about the logistics of planning and pulling off a similar trip.
Everything from what route to take, whether you should hire a guide, and even where you should buy piyush (and what exactly it is).
People have lots of reasons that they travel, but for us what makes traveling awesome are the people.
Getting a chance to hang out with the locals usually leads to some of the best moments of our trips. For that reason, we recorded the 16 ways to meet locals over on Jason’s podcast Zero to Travel.
As a sister podcast to that episode, we thought we’d share our favorite moments where spending time with the locals filled our tummies and our hearts, with joy.
How do you meet the locals when you travel? What stories do you have to share?
As an entrepreneur, it can be hard not to strive for perfection on that first introduction to the world, but as Nate can tell you, it’s better to just jump right in.
Earlier this week Nate Buchanan regaled us with his first around the world journey, it’s planning and execution. Today he joins us to talk about his business.
Peanut Butter Printing.
We talk about getting started, how no one really knows what they’re doing, the daily grind, and of course, how peanut butter can help save the world.
This is Part 2 of Nate Buchanan week here on the podcast. Check out part 1 where we talked about his first crazy trip around the globe!
