What would you do if you had no return date?

At just 24 years old, Fabian left behind a career in sports event management in Austria and bought a one-way ticket to South America. Six months later, he’s still exploring—discovering new cultures, making friendships in hostels, cheering alongside locals during the World Cup, and learning that travel is about much more than checking countries off a list.

In this episode, we talk about experiencing Ecuador during football fever, discovering Ecuavolley in the Galápagos, life aboard an Amazon cargo boat, the friendships that start over a simple card game, and why embracing different cultures can completely change the way you see the world.

In this episode:

• Why Fabian left his corporate career
• Experiencing the World Cup in Ecuador
• Discovering Ecuador’s unique Ecuavolley
• How hostels create friendships across cultures
• Eight days on an Amazon cargo boat
• Learning Spanish one mistake at a time
• Why travel is really about discovering different ways to live
