In this episode of the Extra Pack of Peanuts Travel Podcast, Colin Wright of Exile Lifestyle joins me to discuss a variety of travel topics, including why he allows strangers to pick which country he will move to every 4 months, how being an idiot abroad is a positive thing, and why he currently has only 70 items to his name.

He also regales us with stories like a 72-hour bus trip through South America with a drunken bus driver, making $100 Skype calls from New Zealand, and much, much more.

Colin is one of the most interesting and fascinating people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, and someone I’ve been personally following for a while now, so I’m super excited to have him on the show.

His passion for travel and life coupled with his unique perspective is something you don’t want to miss, so have yourself a listen!
