#6 – The experiences of a nomad/backpacker with Jordan Urbanovich


Listen Later

In this episode I interview Jordan Urbanovich. Jordan is a nomad/backpacker who travels the world with little to no gear and very little money. Learn how he gets free room and board, travels for free, and finds work throughout the journey as he shares his experiences with us. I hope that you decide to listen in on this discussion!

1:00 – Link to the other podcast episode Jordan was in:

Or you can just watch them here:

12:24  – “What other resources do you use for meeting people?”:

– Tinder, OkCupid, any site with a good user base.
Couchsurfing.com has events and bulletins.
– Going to bars.

15:04“Indian head waggle”:

21:38“Kind of like the law of attraction?”:

Here’s a quote from a Google search on the Law of Attraction that’s sums up the theory quite nicely,

“Simply, the Law of Attraction states that you attract that on which you most focus. The obvious corollary to the Law of Attraction is the advice to focus on the things you want more of in your life – that you should spend more time thinking about what you wish to attract into your life than what you don’t like.“

Also the wiki page is informative as well,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_attraction_%28New_Thought%29

Or you can watch the movie, The Secret, online.

35:35“About what we were saying earlier with ego and Instagram”:

We spoke for about 20 minutes before the episode really began. We talked about the way in which ego hides behind our desire to be favored on social media; to receive more likes or RT’s.

39:05“Vagabonding by Rolf Potts”:

55:11“You’re cutting out” (but he wasn’t):

It sounded like he was cutting out on my end, luckily the equipment was picking it up

1:21:07“Wwoof’ing and HelpX”:

Wwoof, or World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.

Help Exchange.

1:27:35I said “restaurant” and I meant “grocery” store.

1:28:32“I heard a statistic once that the city of Vienna, Austria…”

“Yet the low price of wheat allows the city of Vienna to throw away, on a daily basis, enough bread to feed all the people in the second largest city in Austria.”

1:56:09 The call dropped here:

It took him 5 minutes to get back online. And I said “It seems almost louder in there”, again I can hear the background noise much louder because of the way my equipment is setup.

???? At one point a Reddit post about Little Caesars throwing out fresh pizzas was mentioned:

I didn’t manage to get the exact time on this reference, but here’s the link.
