I am often asked, since you have travelled to 80 countries which one is the best one? The answer is always the same, Georgia. There are many reasons for this but it clearly stands out in front of all the others in terms of the best place to visit. We originally planned to stay for 5 days but ended up staying for 5 weeks, that's how good it was.
It was mainly because of the landscape, people, hospitality, price, unique language and of course the amounts of drinking that everyone takes part in there. It is really one of the best places that I have ever been to. With beaches, mountains, rivers, valleys, beautiful women, great food, and alcohol that flows like water, who could want anything better?
Ladan talks about the experiences he has had with internships abroad. This is more or less the reason that he has gotten into the Masters program that accepted only 10% of applicants. This is absolutely a way to open doors and be able to travel at the same time.
Since internships are generally not very rigorous and not much responsibility is give, it gives you a chance to explore the place are located in. It also gives you the ability to take a much smaller backpack and have a home base while checking out new places. Learn how Ladan was able to see many areas of Germany during his 2 month stay in Berlin by travelling during the weekend.
Do it! Do an internship abroad, but make sure to do it many many months in advance! it is a low-stakes way to check out a country to see if you would want to live there. Listen to the show for more details! :)
Listen to how he started both companies and how you can learn from taking one of their trips!

Ladan talks about the different methods of travel.
Check out this experimental podcast which is both on YouTube as well as http://travelwisdompodcast.com/
Ladan talks about the reasons you may want to use different types of transportation, whether it be boat, rail, bus, carpooling, hitchhiking, or plane. He sets them out in this order in terms of comfort. However this also seems to be the order from slowest to fastest. So if you have time definitely go for the more comfortable stuff.
Ladan also sets out some guidelines for choosing these methods of travel as well as some prices you should expect.
And as always, you will get to hear some interesting experiences that he had along the way
Although it wasn't really covered in the podcast, always ask yourself, what good is this experience bringing me? Sometimes transportation can be late, have problems, or somehow not be the way you expect. What can you learn from it and what will this experience teach you?
Rob Lyon is the commanding captain from Vagabond sailing which takes people out on sailing trips around the world. They take people with little to no experience out on sailing trips for up to 3 weeks. They go to locations like the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Indonesia. We talk all about sailing and how to get started with this amazing hobby. I have been very interested in this topic ever since I found out it is really easy and cheap to get started. But getting started in this could be a huge step into the unknown, and we talk much more about what the first steps can be to start sailing
Ladan talks about his experiences getting sick or injured while abroad

Ladan is sporting a bandage from a recent event in a German bar. He talks about the experience of going to the hospital in Germany.
Ladan also talks about getting ringworm in Armenia, cutting his toe and getting stitches in Egypt, a friend getting Dengue Fever in Costa Rica, and finally getting inevitable leg injuries in Thailand.
With all of these experiences came new knowledge and wisdom. Most of all what he found was that going to the Pharmacy first is usually a good idea for non-emergencies.
Finally, what was not really covered in the episode was that you should evaluate why a certain sickness or injury happened. Is there anything you can learn from it? What can this event teach you for the future?
Let us know what you think about this experimental YouTube inclusion.
Zeb Welborne is the host of the Defining Success podcast which talks to successful people and among other things asks them how they define success on its over 100 episodes. He is number 1 in golf course social media with his golf course marketing company 19th hole media and asks the question of why some business leaders succeed while others fail. We talked about his experience starting up his business and the road trip across the country that started it all. He talks about how talking to people from other parts of the US really allowed him to see that people think differently depending on where you come from which he was able to use to become number 1 in golf course social media.
Travis Sherry is the top 100 iTunes ranking host of the podcast Extra Pack of Peanuts. There he talks mainly about travel hacking and how to especially how to get flights for next to nothing. In this episode we talk about how he has spent less than a few hundred dollars. He is a fiend when it comes to frequent flyer miles and knows exactly how to use them. In the past about half of my travel expenses went to the flight, this is a great way to drop down the cost of your travels by half!! Most of these things only take a few hours of research and pulling the trigger and it could save up to $3000!! Is that worth it for you??
