November 13, 2022EP 23 | 80 countries, 7 vans + 2 backpacks | 14 years of budget travel with Lauren & Craig @nonstoptravelling
Lauren & Craig from @nonstoptravelling have been travelling the world full-time since 2008, on a budget, roughing it, volunteering and picking up work as they go - all in the name of adventure; be it with their backpacks or camper vans.
In todays conversation we hear a lot of amazing & entertaining stories from their time on the road, they talk about how much they spend daily & what it’s been like to choose full time travel over taking the more traditional approach to life like following a career and getting a mortgage.
They’re inspiring for us, as we’re about to embark on a bit of a backpacking expedition. We also love their infectious laugher and energy, and know you will too!

This episode we have a very special conversation with Siobhan Daniels, fellow full-time solo van lifer in her 60s who took on early retirement, leaving a successful career in TV & Radio that had become toxic, to pursue a life of self-discovery, defiance and adventure.
She recently published a wonderful book titled "Retirement Rebel", in which amongst other things, she talks about the importance of positive ageing. And how out of adversity comes opportunity.
Talking Points
Her motivation for travel & van life, and the triggers.

How her strict upbringing shaped her

Travelling as a way of dealing with grief & loss.

Backing the world solo at 49.

This week we have a raw & honest conversation with fellow traveller, van lifer & YouTuber, Will from Will’s Whereabouts.
Will first started sharing about his travels in Nepal where he was stuck for lockdown. Later when he returned to the U.K., he moved into van life, and since has grown an online community of 200k.

The juxtaposition of solo travel and it’s the fulfilment of self discovery, contrasted by how incredible lonely it can be

How YouTube can be a great place to cultivate community but also a toxic sphere that can negatively affect creator's mental health
