Today, we hear from world traveler and one of the most interesting people I've met, Nathan Johnson. Nathan started his traveling journey at the at of 14. Nathan shares his stories from living and traveling to Bali. Nathan shares how although Bali is known as a party destination, it is place rich in culture and diversity. Find out why Nathan describes Bali as “like a warm hug from mom.” Nathan shares his theory on the two reasons everyone should travel. We learn how Bali is one of the cheapest places to travel with drinks as low as $1. We also have a Part 2 of this episode which will come out next week "Living in Bali with Nathan Johnson Part 2" where we hear stories of kidnapping a princess, getting arrested on his first trip to Bali with no passport, and the best hidden gem in Bali. Both episodes are amazing for different reasons, check out Part 2 next week only on Then Nomadic Traveler Podcast. (Language Advisory, maybe don't listen to this one with kids in the room.)

Finding a way to make money on the road is one of the hardest parts of becoming a full time traveler. Jim Nelson, author of Be More Dog and manager of the “We love workcamping” Facebook group, and his wife Rene come on the show today to tell us how they have made money living on the road full time. The couple has been on the road for the past 12 years. We learn about how Rene makes jewelry in the RV to sell online and at trade shows and how the couple has worked at several different RV parks doing maintenance and completing office work. Through an inspiring story about how their dog’s illness propelled them into the full time RV life, we learn how this dream can be possible for anyone. Jim and Rene share how work camping is not just about working at a campground, but involves many different types of jobs such as: gate sitting, sugar beet harvesting, pipeline inspection, and Amazon’s work camping. You won't want to miss this episode that will give you multiple ways to make money on the road and start your full time travel life.
