In Season 4 Episode 9, I am joined by Marcela hailing from Venezuela. Marcela has been exploring South America through a mix of volunteering, remote work, and meaningful cultural experiences. She first discovered her passion for travel while living in Peru for two years, but her greatest adventure began when she returned to Venezuela, got her passport, and set out to explore her own continent with purpose.
From working on farms in the mountains to supporting eco-lodges in the Amazon by translating for indigenous guides, and helping in busy hostels in exchange for accommodation, she’s embraced a resourceful and community-focused way of traveling. Through sharing her journey online, she inspires others to see that travel can be both affordable and impactful.
Now based in Medellín, Marcela continues to balance freelance work with discovering new destinations, creating content, and organizing group trips to help others experience the joy of exploring South America. Tune in today!

In Season 4 Episode 8, I am joined by Valentin- a 23-year-old medical student from Munich with a growing passion for exploring the world at a human pace. Though he’s only been studying medicine for a year, some of his greatest lessons have come from the road. Last year, Valentin traveled from Germany all the way to Timor-Leste, a journey spanning over 13,000 kilometers (8,077 miles) — and he did it entirely without taking a single flight.
His route took him through the heart of Central Asia and the Middle East, crossing borders that many travelers only ever read about. From Europe into Turkey, through the deserts and ancient cities of Iran, across the rugged landscapes of Pakistan, and into Afghanistan, Valentin continued moving east — guided by curiosity, trust, and the belief that the world is far more nuanced than the headlines suggest. Ferries, buses, trains, shared taxis, hitchhiking — every transition became a story in itself.
For Valentin, travel is not just about seeing places, but about seeing himself more clearly. The road became a mirror. The people who welcomed him, the uncertainty of not knowing what comes next, and the slow passage of time all shaped his understanding of who he is and how he wants to move through the world. Tune in today to hear more about this EPIC adventure!

In Season 4 Episode 5, I’m joined again by returning guest Jin from Malaysia (check out Jin's first episode on Season 3 Episode 13), a traveler whose story began with an unexpected twist. What should have been an ordinary family trip became the spark for a new way of life—when the vacation ended, Jin simply chose not to return home.
Growing up in the coastal town of Mersing before moving to Singapore as a child, Jin did everything “by the book”: studied hard, earned a degree, and built a stable corporate career. But after seven years behind a desk, the conventional path no longer felt right. Trading comfort for curiosity, he set out to see the world on his own terms.
To keep the journey going, Jin volunteers at hostels through platforms like Worldpackers, exchanging work for accommodation and gaining something far more valuable—time to slow down, connect deeply with people, and truly experience life in each destination. His travels have carried him across Europe and Latin America, each place leaving a mark on his perspective and personal growth.
In today’s episode, Jin takes us through his latest chapter: six unforgettable months in Brazil. From Carnival in Rio to life in Manaus and adventures deep in the Amazon, he shares the moments that made this country one of his most transformative experiences yet. Tune in today!

Bella is a 22 year old Gemini- from the Midwest, USA, and travels full time working her remote job, hosting group trips and posting as a micro content creator. Growing up, Bella's parents took her and her sister to places like London, Paris, Rio de Janeiro and Peru- planting the seed for a thirst for travel.

She spent 2 months backpacking Europe and Morocco before running out of money and having to go back home to work.
For a while, Bella would save up money, go backpacking, run out of money and have to go home until she decided to get a Australian Working Holiday Visa.

In Season 4 Episode 2, I’m joined again by Don—better known as the Bearded Backpacker. Don had such a great time the first time he was on the pod (Season 3 Episode 9), he had to come back to dive into some more adventures. Don is a solo traveler, content creator, and storyteller with a passion for exploring the world’s most overlooked and misunderstood destinations. In this episode, we discuss Don's recent journey to Haiti in 2025, focusing on the historic city of Cap-Haïtien.

In Season 3 Episode 16, I am joined by Ruck aka Ruck Travels. Ruck is a 28-year-old traveler from the UK who has spent the past eight years exploring the world—three of those years as a full-time digital nomad and content creator. His journey began at the age of 20 with a trip to South America, inspired by a long-held desire to visit Peru. Despite facing personal challenges back home during that first adventure, the experience ignited a passion for travel that has shaped the course of his life ever since.
His love for exploring the world was sparked early on by his parents, who took him on unforgettable childhood trips to places like Egypt and the USA. In recent years, Ruck landed a remote sales job that gave him the freedom to work from anywhere, and more recently, he's found growing success on social media, leading to collaborations with international brands. Now, he’s focused on building his content creation into a sustainable business—determined to avoid settling into a conventional lifestyle.
In this week's episode we dive into Ruck's recent journey to Turkmenistan—one of the world’s most isolated and least-visited countries. From navigating strict visa processes to experiencing surreal landscapes like the Darvaza Gas Crater and the white-marble capital of Ashgabat, Ruck shares what it’s really like to explore a place shrouded in mystery and misconception. Through his firsthand account, the show aims to shed light on the beauty, challenges, and cultural richness of this little-known nation. Tune in today!

In Season 3 Episode 15, I am joined by Brad- an American English teacher and content creator from Indiana with a lifelong passion for travel and culture. His connection with Spain began at 17 during a two-month exchange program, which inspired him to study Spanish at university and eventually move abroad.
In 2021, he came to Spain to teach during the pandemic but returned home at the end of the year due to COVID. Back in the U.S., he spent a year working odd jobs—from waiting tables to doing fieldwork in ecology and archaeology—but felt a strong pull to return to life abroad.
Since 2022, he’s been living in Spain—first in Almería, then Galicia for the past two years—where the experience has been deeply transformative. Living abroad has helped him find himself and create a life that feels 100% his own, even through its challenges. He’s traveled to France, Portugal, the UK, Morocco, Canada, and across the U.S., and hopes to explore South America and Asia in the coming years. His love for travel runs deep—he even wrote a book in first grade called “I Want to Go to Greece” (still on the bucket list). Through his journey, Bradley shares a story of curiosity, resilience, and building a meaningful life through movement, culture, and personal growth. Tune in today!

In Season 3 Episode 14, I am joined by Katie who turns out to live not too far from me back in the US. Additionally, when we recorded the episode, we actually happened to be a 14 minute walk apart from each other in Medellín, Colombia....small world indeed. Anyways, Katie is a 23-year-old full-time traveler from Pennsylvania who’s been chasing adventure ever since studying abroad in Madrid, Spain. During those five unforgettable months, she explored France, Italy, Portugal, and England—and that’s when the travel bug officially bit. Katie knew then and there that she wanted to find a way to travel full-time after graduation.
That opportunity came sooner than expected when she decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail—a 2,200-mile journey from Mexico to Canada. Despite having only camped once and zero backpacking experience, Katie dove in headfirst. Over five months, she walked the entire trail, sometimes covering more than 30 miles a day.
Now, Katie funds her travels with savings from her work as an EMT—a job she picked up during school while planning to apply to PA programs. Though her path changed, the job turned out to be the perfect fit, allowing her to work just seven weeks a year and travel for the other nine.
At the moment, Katie is solo-traveling through South America until June. After that, she’s headed back to Europe for three months to host a group trip in Portugal and hike the Camino de Santiago in Spain—just another chapter in her ever-growing adventure. Tune in today!

In Season 3 Episode 13, I am joined by another world traveler- Jin from Malaysia. Jin's journey into long-term travel began unexpectedly. What was supposed to be a simple family trip turned into a turning point—when the vacation ended, Jin decided not to go home. Growing up in the small coastal town of Mersing, Malaysia, before moving to Singapore for school at eight years old, Jin followed the conventional path: study, graduate, and work a stable corporate job for seven years. But something always felt off. The idea of settling down in one place, following the script laid out for him, felt more like a cage than security.
What started as an impulsive decision became a lifestyle. To sustain his travels, Jin volunteers in hostels through platforms like Worldpackers, exchanging work for accommodation. This slow-travel approach allows him to go beyond just visiting places—he immerses himself in local cultures, builds connections with strangers, and experiences the world in a way that isn’t possible through quick vacations. From backpacking through Europe to living in Latin America, each destination has been a chapter in an ongoing story of self-discovery.
Now, Jin is sharing that journey online on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Telling stories of his learnings and personal reflections. Whether it’s uncovering hidden cultural ties between Malaysia and Mexico, capturing the energy of Brazil’s Carnaval, or reflecting on fleeting romances, Jin hopes his content resonates with people who dream of something more. As he works toward making content creation a sustainable career, Jin hopes to keep traveling, keep creating, and keep proving that there’s no single right way to live a life. Tune in today!

In Season 3 Episode 12, I am joined by Katie from England. Katie is a passionate traveler and TEFL teacher who’s been living the dream of teaching English abroad while exploring the world. After finishing university, Katie chose the path less traveled and fell into teaching English through drama—a decision that launched her into a globe-trotting lifestyle spanning six years (and counting!). From France and Belgium to Cambodia, Thailand, and even Sicily, Katie has taught in diverse corners of the world, embracing the freedom and adventure this career brings.
We dive into her unique journey, what life as a TEFL teacher really looks like, and how she’s turned her love for travel into a sustainable, flexible career—teaching online from anywhere. Whether you’re curious about teaching English abroad, looking for inspiration to take the leap, or just love a good travel story, Katie’s experiences will have you dreaming of your next adventure.

Look who's back: your fave Bournemouther (it's a real word I swear). That's right...in Season 3 Episode 11, I am re-joined by Pearl from England who also featured on the pod last season. Pearl recently spent five unforgettable weeks exploring North India, immersing herself in its vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes. From the bustling streets of Delhi to the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal, the vast Thar Desert, and even a temple devoted to rats, she experienced it all.
As a female traveler, Pearl encountered both the highs and challenges of visiting India—a country that can feel overwhelming yet remains equally rewarding and beautiful. Her journey led her through Rajasthan, a true melting pot of culture, history, and spirituality. She explored 500-year-old forts, temples, and palaces, rode camels across the desert, indulged in mouthwatering cuisine, and met some of the warmest, most welcoming locals.
India is a destination like no other, and Pearl wholeheartedly encourages everyone to experience its magic at least once.

In Season 3 Episode 10, I am joined by Sammy aka "Travel w/ Sammy." Sammy was born in the vibrant city of Miami but spent most of her childhood and formative years in Dallas, Texas. Growing up in a place that blended Southern charm with big-city energy, she developed a deep curiosity for the world beyond her hometown. That curiosity eventually led her to take a leap into solo travel at just 19 years old, embarking on what would become a life-changing journey. Her first solo adventure took her to Puerto Escondido, Mexico, a breathtaking coastal town known for its laid-back surf culture, stunning beaches, and vibrant community of travelers. It was there that she truly fell in love with the freedom of solo travel—the thrill of exploring new places, meeting inspiring people, and pushing herself outside her comfort zone.
That initial experience ignited a passion that would shape her future. Since then, Sammy has traveled the world, turning her love for adventure into a full-time career as a travel content creator and entrepreneur. She is the founder of Mañana Retreats, a luxury women’s retreat company designed to help women build confidence, reconnect with themselves, and form lifelong friendships through travel. Through her social media platforms and curated retreat experiences, she inspires women to step out of their daily routines, embrace adventure, and discover the transformative power of exploring the world. For Sammy, travel isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about personal growth, connection, and creating unforgettable experiences that last a lifetime.

In Season 3 Episode 9, I am joined by Don aka the "Bearded Backpacker." Don is a solo traveler, content creator, and storyteller with a passion for exploring some of the world’s most remote and overlooked regions. As the first in his family to travel the world, he has backpacked through countries like Cuba, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Poland, embracing each destination's unique history, culture, and traditions. Through his journey, Don aims to inspire curiosity, educate others about places often misunderstood, and bridge cultural gaps by sharing authentic stories from the people he meets along the way. Born and raised in a small Louisiana town, Don moved to Houston, Texas, where he currently works full-time. Yet, his heart is always planning the next adventure, driven by an insatiable curiosity and a commitment to understanding the world beyond headlines and stereotypes.
For Don, travel is about more than just seeing the world; it’s about amplifying unheard voices, challenging misconceptions, and highlighting the beauty of diverse perspectives. He believes that every person has a story worth telling and is dedicated to using his platform to ensure those stories are heard. By sharing his experiences, Don hopes to inspire others—especially those who have never thought it possible—to explore beyond their comfort zones. Traveling solo has taught him resilience, adaptability, and the power of human connection, no matter the language or borders that separate us. While he may be the first in his family to venture this far, his goal is to pave the way so that he won’t be the last. Tune in today!
