Never Ending Nomad

The professional hobo. Probably something any family member thinks of those that do long term travel. Nora Dunn is about to smash that stereotype in this episode of the Never Ending Nomad. 

In 2006, she decided like many do, to leave their current life to head off on an adventure she felt was calling her. She got rid of her belongings and even left her financial planning business to pursue what she felt was her future.

Since early 2007 she's been off visiting over 50 countries but doing it slower than most. That's what makes her unique and extremely interesting. It's not about notching up the numbers, it's about experiences and adventures for her.

She shares amazing tips and tricks for how she travels cheaply, how she's dealt with explaining a huge lifestyle transformation to family and friends and how she has created a location independent career. That's the dream right?

Check out all her work on her blog. 

Before travelling the world, Jasper Ribbers worked for a trading firm for 6 years. At the age of 32, he realized that he didn’t just want his life to be wasted away in a “mildly stimulating profession” so he took the risk, left his job, and travelled.

In this episode, Jasper shared about how he funded his travels through airbnb and he shares other tips and tricks for those who are already on the travelling journey as well as those who want to have the freedom to travel.

The website provides a platform for members to "surf" on couches by staying as a guest at a host's home, host travelers, or join an event. Melissa is a host in Couchsurfing and will talk about how she chooses who she hosts. She also shares some not so good experiences with Couchsurfers and also the super interesting and fun ones. She talked about her rules as a host which make it much easier for you to figure out how you should get into the Couchsurfing world easier.

This episode features Derek Earl Baron also known as Earl of Wandering Earl. He started travelling in 1999 in Southeast Asia and his trip hasn’t ended since. Earl travelled to search for the education that only travel taught. He had little interest in the sights that a country can offer but on the interactions and the lessons learned along the way.

In this episode, he spoke about how he was able to sustain this lifestyle and the types of work he’s done along the way. He also gave tips on how he went out of his comfort zone and talked to random strangers he met just to learn and gather ideas and advice on travelling. He also shared his experiences in finding ways to earn money while travelling.

When I asked him what he’d do if he started from scratch he said cruise ships! That’s a different response than I was expecting.

He also shared his experience being kidnapped, being questioned if he was a part of some terrorist group when he arrived in the US from Afghanistan and Pakistan. He also shares some travel hacks about packing and other things, and answers some more questions about travel and people.

You can learn a lot of creative stuff on how to fund your travelling, and also some hacks on travelling on his website: http://www.wanderingearl.com/; his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WanderingEarl; and his twitter: https://twitter.com/wanderingearl/.
