Suffering from a perpetual case of self-described sedentary life-a-phobia, Nikki and Jason move every 7-10 days. They do this with ease because they live in a RV.
Jason and Nikki Wynn are documenting the journey as they live out of their RV in an effort to integrate just a bit more adventure and exploration into their daily lives.
At 28 years old, they packed up and left Dallas and haven’t looked back for 4 years. You can follow this perpetual adventure at GonewiththeWynns.com where they go off the grid - both in destination and lifestyle, even with their 2 cats.

"It's an incredible experience to go to Thailand for a month and sit on a beach... It's an entirely different experience if you build something in addition to that." - Ric Gazarian
Fellow Boston-native turned world traveler and humanitarian, Ric Gazarian has visited 85 countries across all 7 continents. He documents his travels on his site GlobalGaz.com and most recently is the author of the book and documentary film, Hit the Road India: a road rally, and travel photo journal, through the heart of India.
Anyone who listens to this show regularly has heard stories of the Rickshaw Challenge, a freelance adventure across India (run by The Travel Scientists) in nothing more than a small 2-seater with no doors and, if you’re lucky, an engine strong enough to get you there. This is not a safe thing to do but it sure sounds legendary.
Ric let his curiosity of his ethnic background as an Armenian-American motivate him to begin traveling. After a few experiences overseas, Ric was hooked and began challenging himself further. When he was laid off from a miserable, well-paying job in corporate finance after the market crashed in 2008, he was compelled to try traveling full time -- eventually letting his newfound curiosity drive his creativity and fuel his transformation into a filmmaker, photo-journalist, and world-traveler.

Brad Bernard is a former-corporate-consultant-turned-writer by day, and extreme experience junkie by night — Brad is the guy behind My Wanderlist, a travel blog documenting his extreme travel experiences — such as dancing with corpses, eating tarantula, hitchhiking across Saudi Arabia, living with sea gypsies, and being arrested in Oman, as one does right?
The world is a full of adventure and Brad is pushing the boundaries of what you might believe to be possible in the interest of genuinely interesting story.
And that’s why I had to have Brad come on the show - because not only is he, quite extremely, doing the stuff of legend, but taking a journalists eye to craft the stories he’s telling in a compelling style on his blog.

Today’s guest turned a 20-month trip around the world into a new career as a blogger, author, and entrepreneur. He’s traveled to more than 50 countries across six continents, founded two popular travel blogs, Go Backpacking and Medellín Living, written several books on the subjects, and on top of all that, most notably he created Travel Blog Success, the leading community for travel bloggers and media producers that want to earn a living from their blog, or at the very least, get their vacations paid for by doing work they love.
But most recently, David’s just released his first app - Medellín Guide (download on iTunes), aggregating all of the best curated content from his blog into a single app. Right now, it’s free — so I’ve downloaded it and we’re going to do a sort of on-air breakdown of the app, while David takes us through what most consider to be Colombia’s most beautiful city.

When you're buying a flight, do you ever feel that twinge of stress when you're about to click the "purchase now" button? How do you know the price won't just drop tomorrow? Or maybe you found a great price but you're worried the price will jump before you have a chance to run it by your travel companions? The airline's definitely not giving you any assurances. It's too bad you can't use a crystal ball while buying airfare.
Or can you?
Alexander Mans is the CEO and founder of Flyr, a new website that predicts for you whether or not a the price of a flight might go up or down, to help you feel more confident about knowing whether or not to do what just about every guest on this show says: Buy that ticket!
Alexander was born in the Netherlands and has been a computer programmer from childhood. So when the time came for him to move overseas to San Francisco to try his hand in the startup world, it felt like a natural step.
Three years ago he started on Flyr and today it’s live and ready for you to use. I’ve been a fan of this tool all throughout its beta, so I asked Alexander to come on the show and discuss his background, travel, and how Flyr can alleviate the stress of purchasing airfare.

Today’s guest quit her job to travel the world.
But unlike the common narrative you might have heard from many of the guests on this show, Lauren wasn’t just escaping the mundanity of routine for new experience. She was suffering from frequent anxiety attacks and had just had her heart broken. For a 6-month period, Lauren wouldn't even go outside. Listen to her share her story and explain the immense value that travel has had on her and the personal exploration she's discovered simply by embracing the decision to book a one-way flight away from home and live nomadically.
Since then she’s created her own life on the road as the senior writer and editor for two publications, the student travel expert for About.com, and the founder of her own website, NeverEndingFootsteps.com, which chronicles her travels, and especially her stories, challenges, and incidents from her adventures.

Today I’m sitting down with a former broker from London who escaped the dull nagging ache of routine to answer for himself the question that so many guests on this show are compelled to explore: What else is there out there?
In doing so, Leon Logotheetis has become a proponent for your inner rebel, a global adventurer, filmmaker, motivational speaker, television host on National Geographic and an author of two books.
He’s been through over 90 countries across all 7 continents, completed the Mongol Rally, and hosts the National Geographic Channel’s Amazing Adventures of a Nobody, and completed a global circumnavigation on a little yellow motorbike for his new show, The Kind Way Around and his new book The Kindness Diaries - in case you’re looking for a healthy dose of inspiration to kick off 2015.

This is part 5 of a 5 part series on The White House Travel Blogging Summit. Start from part 1.
On December 9th, 2015, The White House hosted the top 100 bloggers and digital media influencers in travel to hold a conversation about their study abroad initiatives to foster global citizenship. In the room were some of the biggest names in travel, from online to television, along with senior White House administration officials, including the Chief of Staff. I still can’t believe I was included.
I want to be able to share the entire summit experience with you so I created a 5-part podcast miniseries designed to bring you with me to the event. In it we’ll cover why The White House did this, what it was like to be there, and dive into the ideas and thoughts around the topic of study abroad and travel in general. But above those things, my goal is simple. I want this show to inspire just one person to study abroad. To go from thinking, “That’s something I’d like to do” to actually taking the steps to applying or booking that experience.
Putting out these episodes all by myself is a lot of work! Thanks for your patience. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the episode, studying abroad, the summit itself, or anything else in the comments or on Facebook. I’ll also be including a round up post of all the episodes and information to help you explore this event or find the right opportunity to study abroad.

Tayo Rockson just launched his podcast, As Told by Nomads — which you can find under places and travel, among other categories on iTunes. But it has a different angle. Tayo is exploring this pre-existing concept known as Third Culture Kids, or TCKs. Which are essentially kids who have grown up outside of their parents culture. This creates an interesting person who’s able to connect with outside cultures, while never claiming ownership to just one.
I’m curious about what Tayo’s up to with this project, and his perspective on TCKs, and how exposure to other global cultures - particularly at a young age - can effect the mindset of a person and how they live their life.

After trying on a handful of different careers and lives, Marysia Maciocha found the only way to encompass all of these interests was through travel - and the many roles it lets us play. This support was all she needed to fall in love with travel, which she writes about on her blog, My Travel Affairs.
Since then, she’s made a life of travel her own and one I’m excited to explore, while also learning a thing or two about her home country of Poland, from which a number of my relatives came to America generations ago. And yet I’ve still never been.
In this episode, Marysia explains how she made the decision to travel, how she affords it and why she considers herself the luckiest person, what she's found and how these discoveries about herself have influenced her future.

"I was afraid of getting stuck so I made a kind-of-random decision to leave home... I didn't know what I wanted to do, just that I didn't want to be here. And there was no real reason for that other than I'd been here my whole life."
Alana Morgan left life in Seattle to see what might be waiting for her in Chiang Mai, Thailand — where she taught english and established for herself a freelance writing career through her blog, Paper Planes — on it you can find writings about her bigger adventures and a smaller focus on day to day life in Thailand.
I was lucky enough to meet Alana in Greece asked her to come on the show because she not only took the deliberate step to quit her 9-to-5 to make travel a bigger priority in her life, but used it as a tool to find purpose - or at least, enjoyment through exploration and seeing what creating a life for herself might be like abroad.

Mike Wendeland is a trained journalist who in 2012, bought a recreation vehicle or motor home, and while on the road, began covering the beat of the people and experiences they found along the way on his blog, RoadTreking.com.
Mike used to be a traveling journalist for the Detroit News and his curiosity as a reporter has carried over into his retirement, which he’s not taking lying down — but instead, on the road — in his RV, a mobile new media studio, from which he blogs and podcasts on his new show, Roadtreking: The RV Podcast.
As a result of this new project, Mike has attracted an enormous audience of RV enthusiasts to help perpetuate his travels, and who he now inspires to follow in his very unique footsteps.

At 19 years old, Jake Ducey - a teenage surfer in california - abandoned a drug-addled college education to find out what else, what more, might be waiting for him out there.
What it was that waiting was a book he would go on to write called Into the Wind: My Six Month Journey Wandering the World for Life’s Purpose.
The travel experience effected him so deeply that he promptly returned to raise funds for an orphanage and school in Guatemala, and launch a motivational speaking career to help young people find self-reliance in an increasingly connected society and world.
Now he’s just released, his latest book The Purpose Principles, all about drawing more meaning into your life.
With travel at the core of Jake’s message, I thought I’d bring him on the show to discuss how you can take your curiosity and creativity and find transformation in life, on the road, and off.
A quick preview:
Travel helped Jake find a purpose to give up a scholarship and overcome a background in drug addiction.
A potentially near-death experience while hiking with locals in Lombok, Indonesia gave Jake the epiphany he needed.
The role a shaman played in his life while living in Guatemala and the inspiration Jake draws from his example.

At just 23, Felicity Aston left the UK to spend three years living and working in the Antarctic as a meteorologist with the British Antarctic Survey familiarizing herself with the conditions down there.
While there, she was part of the first all-female team to complete the Polar challenge, which is a 360-mile endurance race across the Canadian Arctic.
And a year later, Felicity led the first British women's crossing of the Greenland ice-sheet.
Since then she has gone on to lead numerous expeditions including the Kaspersky Lab Commonwealth Antarctic Expedition, the largest and most international women's expedition ever to ski to the South Pole.
In 2012 she became the first woman in the world to ski across Antarctica alone.
A quick preview:
What life is like working as a research scientist in Antarctica, and what it feels like to move there.
Antarctica is twice the size of Australia, to give you a sense of its enormity.
How her experiences prepared her to complete the ski journey across Antarctica alone.
What inspired the decision to go for it.
What the journey itself was like for Felicity, how long it took, and what it’s like to be out in the Antarctic wilderness alone.
How she managed her fear and emotions, how they helped her, and what she learned about her physical and emotional limits.
What it felt like to reach the end.
Why do adventurers downplay their accomplishments?

“You can have whatever kind of travel experience you want to have no matter what your budget is.”
Stephanie Zito’s travels have taken her to over 100 countries. She is a wanderer, humanitarian, storyteller, business founder, evangelist for good, and all around beauty-seeker whose love of travel and involvement in relief and development have taken her to far flung places where she’s found purpose in helping the people of the world - which if you listen to this podcast, then you probably know that’s where I believe all the best stories happen.
She’s lived in Cambodia, where she founded Cloud Color Hammocks, a beautifully colorful line of hammocks, volunteers to help children.
But now she's also the creator of Upgrade Unlocked, a course on travel hacking to redeem for luxury travel experiences.
Stephanie knows more than almost anyone I know about earning and redeeming points and miles, so I asked her to come back on and explore her new work and mindblowing personal travel experiences in redeeming for things like first class suites on Etihad Airways.
If you want to learn more and pick up her course to get started traveling for as close to free as possible, check out Upgrade Unlocked.
A quick preview
How you can begin to redeem for enormous value by focusing on a goal.
How do you get into lounges? How do you get upgrades?
Stephanie flew in a first class suite on Etihad, stayed in a $900 Park Hyatt in Abu Dhabi and the St. Regis and it cost her close to $400.
Does travel hacking at any level require opening credit cards?

"If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don't be afraid and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be." - Joseph Campbell

Today, she lives and writes from Toronto and Delhi, exploring the themes of meaningful adventure travel -- and if you listen to this show, then you know that we share that passion in common.

After being laid off in 2012, Candice Walsh took the opportunity to jump into a life of travel - along the way figuring out how to start her own location independent career as a freelance travel, copy, and creative writer and editor. She writes about this journey on her website, Candice Does the World. Nowadays she’s made travel a bigger part of and priority in her life, which is now stationed out of Newfoundland, and I’m excited to explore all things Candice, how she’s created the life she has and why this matters.
A quick preview:
How Candice let a lay off from an uncreative position as a technical writer become one of the best things that’s ever happened to her.
What prevented her from quitting her job and then what scared her most about traveling.
Candice's plan to transition from work to travel writing.
How Candice carved out a niche for herself by writing about Newfoundland, a destination without enough coverage.
Travel has helped Candice develop an appreciation for home, and writing about Newfoundland has exposed her to her own backyard in a way she'd never mentioned.
Candice's recommendations for experiencing Newfoundland.

The post 160: Travel to Find a Love for Home with Candice Walsh appeared first on The Daily Travel Podcast.
In your travels, do you ever feel like you're somebody else? Like you might be stepping temporarily into someone else's shoes? And if so, who is this fleeting person? How are they different from you? Or more importantly, how are they the same? What can you take home from this persona to fold into your own identity? What can we learn about ourselves? How can we grow?
Christopher Staudinger and Tawny Clark met while summiting Mount Kilimanjaro — he from Washington, and her from Hawaii. Together they form the prodigious minds behind Captain and Clark, media producers and award winning travel bloggers.
They’ve worked with Matador TV, Marriot, The New York Times, Lonely Planet, and more. Currently they’re serving as members of Expedia’s Viewfinder program.
They bring an aspect of performance and thoughtfulness, plus humor and energy, to their work - and travels - that I thought was artistically interesting and also fun, two things that - for me - comprise the spirit of travel.
Today, we’ll dive into their story: Who are these two? Where are they going? And why?
A quick preview:
Chris’ first travel memory and how it relates to imagination.
How Chris and Tawny’s distinctly different travel lives complimented each other.
How they fell into professional travel blogging by winning a video competition that sent them on a road trip across the country.
The ways in which they incorporate playfulness into their brand.

Diving back into Family travel today — but for anyone listening who doesn’t have kids, or doesn’t see the family “obstacle” on the horizon, what I like about these conversations is that if you can realize that kids are just a mindset change, just like everything else, than you can get past any self-imposed barrier - you just have to change the thought.
Today I’m sitting down with Kathrin Spaccarelli, from Portland Oregon - PDX - who spent the past year with her family of 4, ever since September 2013, on a round the world trip.
Their route is in fact around the world, visiting 4 of the 7 continents - or 5, if you include the United States. And what I love about this is how she helps to crush the belief that travel - especially adventure - has to end with kids.
A quick preview:
How a trip to Japan in high school fostered a love of travel and new experience for Kathrin, that she carried into her marriage and, later, family.
Where they went what they did as a family.
The effect Kathrin has seen travel has had on her children.
