In this episode, I talk with Brian Sandri, an interesting guy who I met while volunteering at Angloville in Poland two years ago. Originally from New Zealand, Brian has been traveling the world with only an iPad and hand luggage since retiring 3 years ago. So far, he has visited 70 countries and all 7 continents.

You'll learn about how he uses home exchanges to make his travels affordable and also listen to him talk about the languages of Afrikaans, Mandarin, and a nonverbal language understood throughout the world.

A good map for offline - Brian uses Pocket Earth because it often gives him bus and train routes and can save locations.

Translation Software - Brian uses Microsoft “Translator” and can select languages to use offline.
