171: Layover Secrets – How To Get The Most Out Of Every Minute You’ve Got – Michael Wedaa


Listen Later

Michael Wedaa has travelled to more than 100 countries on six continents. His love of travel started in his youth when he visited many of the great national parks in the U.S. He then took his first major international trips to Europe, South America, and Asia in 2011. From there, he caught the travel bug and began taking four international trips per year. In 2020, he became the host of a travel TV show called The Layover Experience.  
 
HERE IS A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE…
  • Imagine visiting 100 countries! What does that take to accomplish? Michael shares with us what he’s done in his life over the last 10 years to make this happen in his life…and how you can too!
  • What does it take for the love of travel to rule your life! I chat with Michael about how travel changed my life and the important lessons I’ve learned from the people I’ve met along the way.
  • I bet you’re thinking…it’s so easy to go to London, Paris and Rome…but what about Iran, Egypt or Tanzania? Listen to how Michael visited those countries and his wild experiences.
  • Michael and I share some great stories about the countries we’ve visited that people have been really afraid to travel to. 
  • Have you imagined yourself as a writer? You’ve got some amazing plans and yet don’t know what the next steps are. Here Michael tells us how he started and finished writing his first book and I think you’ll really like this if you’re a budding author.
  • I loved chatting with Michael about countries we still don’t know how to spell, or even pronounce, yet can’t wait to visit. Places most people are too scared to go to. Here are some really awesome tips!
  • Michael shares some hilarious stories of his travels and the trouble you can get into when things happen that are out of your control. 
  • Michaels YouTube Show is called ‘Layover Guru’. In today's episode, Michael and I talk about how you can utilize your time on a layover of let’s say 6 - 24 hours. Are you like most people and just sit in the airport? Ya, I get that. But listen to this…Michael uses that time to see a new city or a new country that he may never get a chance to visit again. He shares his tips and tricks for everyone to enjoy.
  • Is Covid still scaring you? Are you waiting for things to go back to normal? Michael talks about all of the travelling he’s done in the past 2 years and how you can make it a reality.

    CONCLUSION:
    I’ve never been the sort of guy that loved sitting in an airport, but I always just did it, no matter how long the wait was. I try to book the least amount of time between flights I can, but if I had much of a wait, I would sit in the business class lounge and work. 
    But I have to say, this conversation with Michael Wedaa has really changed my mind. I think maybe using his tips and tricks for my next flight will greatly enhance my experience!  
    Make sure you buy his book. It contains an absolute ton of information for both novice and seasoned travellers!
    I’m excited to see what trouble I can get into in a new city or country!

    Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach

    This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
