21: From Zero to Travel with Jason Moore – Part 1
Jason Moore has this concept he calls "Wanderliving." And for 15 years, he's been making full time travel a reality for himself. Today, he's helping his audience do the same on his website and podcast, Zero to Travel.
When I had the idea for this show, Jason was the guy who was already out there doing it, in his own way, focusing on practical ideas, concrete resources, and actionable advice all bundled up into inspiring stories from interesting travelers.
In this episode, I'm turning the tables on Jason and interviewing him about his travel stories, which include how he turned a lifelong dream to travel into a reality by landing a traveling job in event marketing and his adventures in hitchhiking.
What we discuss:
How Jason found work that allowed him to build travel into his life, and became addicted to the practice.
How safe is hitchhiking, and can it be a great way to challenge yourself, escape your comfort zone?
Does the length of time you know someone really matter? All the people on your travels makes you wonder.
If you think you want to study abroad, those feelings might never go away. So look into the opportunity to do so if you have it.
Words of an Explorer:
"You have to make time. It's always there but you need to carve it out and commit to doing what you want to do. And it's not always an easy thing."
Jason’s Best Travel Advice:
The First Step: If you’re thinking about the trip, but hesitating because you’re nervous, there’s no rule that says you can’t try it in your state. Go spend a night in a hostel in your hometown. See what it’s like. Then, buy the plane ticket. Lock yourself into it. Get your friend to buy the ticket for you.
Money Saving Tip or Travel Hack: Earn miles through credit cards, if you have good credit. Consider getting a job that allows you to travel.
Packing Tip: 40 liter (or less) backpack to carry on only. Jason’s packing list.
Favorite Internet Travel Tool or Resource:
Favorite Travel Books: On The Road, Jack Kerouac
Favorite Travel Gear: Headlamp. Hands free light in the night.
Weird Food: Fried Crickets. “They were a little grassy…”
