Todd Smidt started traveling in 2010 and created Of Whiskey and Words in 2013 in the hope of inspiring others to travel and enjoy a nice glass of whiskey along the way. 

After growing up in Nebraska and graduating college, Todd landed his first “real job” as a commodities trader but was soon faced with a dilemma of happiness versus responsibility. After a year, Todd had an “F This” moment and scoured the internet for travel jobs to fulfill his desires of travel and life abroad.
 
Shortly after an interview and a few months of waiting, Todd was off to Brisbane, Australia working on a cruise ship and spent the next six months sailing around the South Pacific. From there, he’s visited over fifty countries and embarked on memorable trips all over the world. From rafting in the Grand Canyon to watching the world cup in Russia, Todd’s adventures are an inspiration to new and veteran travelers alike.
