Curiosity-Driven Travel with John McKenzie


Listen Later

#28: Welcome to Manifest Travel, the podcast that explores intentional travel and the art of creating meaningful life experiences. I'm Brittany Braddock, your host.

Joining me in this episode is John McKenzie, better known as “John the Traveler.” John has built his lifestyle around his deep-rooted sense of curiosity, using it as a guide in his work, travels, and everyday life. Today, he’ll share his perspective on curiosity—what it means to him, how he incorporates it into everything he does, and why it’s a driving force in his journey.

We’ll dive into his unique transition from a corporate setting to becoming a remote freelancer, exploring the planning and strategizing behind this lifestyle shift and how he made it all happen. We’ll talk about the benefits of injecting newness and change into your day-to-day routine, particularly between travel experiences, and how it helps balance the overwhelming pull to explore.

We also talk about how travel changes your perspective—not only on your own life but on the places and cultures you visit, as well—which provides a deeper understanding of the world around you and allows you to cultivate informed opinions based on facts and experience.
