  • Why You Should Always Read Your Alumni Obituaries
    Although it's sad to read about your fellow alums dying, it's also motivating. It's especially motivating when a dead alum is younger than you. 
    This depressing fact can light a fire underneath your butt to live a purposeful and meaningful life.
    It's a way to compel you to stop making excuses. 
    Meanwhile, this doesn't necessarily mean that you should become busier. 
    Instead, it should compel you to use your time more wisely. That means that perhaps you need to become less busy! For some, that means to work less and spend more time with your family and friends.
    For others, it might mean to spend less time with their family and friends and more time pursuing that music career they've always wanted to have.
    The point is that the death of your fellow alums should spur you to live. 
    Transform yourself now.

  • What It Takes to Set a Speed Record or FKT on the AT & PCT

    Joe 'Stringbean' McConaughy is a young legend in the thru-hiking community. He set the fastest known time (FKT) on the Pacific Crest Trail and the Appalachian Trail. 


    His Appalachian Trail record was truly astounding because (at the time he finished the trail) his unsupported record was faster than any supported record! 


    What's the difference between a supported and unsupported thru-hike?

    Supported thru-hikes have one or more people lending you a hand. These lovely people will typically:


    • Meet you at junctions where the trail meets a road.

    • Give you a food, water, and medical supplies. 

    • Set up and break down your tent.


    As a result, you don't have to make any detours to go to the post office or to a store to resupply. 


    More importantly, you can carry little or no food. You may be able to leave your shelter and sleeping bag behind too. You can get by with less water because you know your crew will have plenty at the next road crossing. 


    On the Appalachian Trail, these trail junctions happen far more often than on the Pacific Crest Trail and Continental Divide Trail.


    This results in considerably less weight than an unsupported thru-hike (which is what 99% of thru-hikers do).


    If you do an unsupported thru-hike, you're on your own for everything.


    Although Karel Sabbe has recently beaten some of McConaughy's speed records, his unsupported Appalachian Trail record still stands.


    I'll be interviewing Karel Sabbe in 2019, but enjoy McConaughy's remarkable sense of humor and athletic feats.

  • How To Accumulate F**k-You Money

    I share my secrets of how I've been able to travel nonstop since 2006.


    The most common question I get asked is how I am able to afford to travel to 120+ countries. 


    That's why I'm addressing this FAQ in the third episode of the WanderLearn podcast. If I waited any longer, there would be a mutiny. Yes, both of my listeners would revolt! 


    The most important action you need to take is to save enough f**k-you money so that you have the financial ability to not just travel the world for months or years, but also to make other bold moves in your life.


    In just 10 minutes, I break down how what you need to do to earn plenty of f**k-you money. It's tough, which is why few people have f**k-you money.


    For those who want to learn more, read my epic article that addresses this question.

  • Travis Sherry, The Jetto App, and Getting Travel Bargains

    Officially, this is my second podcast, but it's really my first proper podcast since my first episode was just a 4-min teaser introduction.


    What better way to kick off this travel podcast than to have my first guest be Travis Sherry. He is the creator of one of the top travel podcasts, Extra Pack of Peanuts.


    Here's what you will learn in this two-hour episode:


    • Who is Travis Sherry?

    • What's the origin of the name Extra Pack of Peanuts?

    • What are his favorite countries?

    • What's the Jetto app and why should you get it?

    • What are good ways of monetizing an app or podcast?

    • How can you find the best travel deals? He runs the Frequent Flier Bootcamp, so he should know!

    • Why should you care about the Paradise Pack project coming out at the end of May 2019?

    • What's it like to live in Japan?

    • How are Africans and Japanese similar?

    • What's the best credit card?

    • What are the two most popular reasons why people don't travel?


    At the end of the podcast, Travis can't resist putting on his interview hat. He surprises me by asking me a couple of questions.


    I plan to release a new episode every Tuesday and Friday until I have 50 episodes. At that point, I may slow down the pace to once a week.


    I encourage you to post comments and ask questions for a future Q&A episode.
