WANDEROUS

Welcome back to WANDEROUS, my new podcast about upgrading your consciousness — disguised as a show about world travel.

At the very least, you can live vicariously through my weird experiences.

This week’s episode is an intro to the weird and wonderful world of Couchsurfing!

Couchsurfing.com is how I stayed for free my entire time in London, Swindon, and even Scotland. I also share a story about a strange request from my couchsurfing host. First time for everything, I guess.

Good thing I had a good CS host in London, because getting a SIM card that would work in Europe was not as straightforward as you’d think!

Show notes:

• Couchsurfing.com - Travel Hospitality Exchange (perhaps the only real social network)

• An ancient blog post about my visit to Texas to see The Polyphonic Spree (the first trip I ever used Couchsurfing.com) Warning: it’s very boring, and my writing style has changed a lot since then: https://myth.li/2008/06/the-7th-annual-holiday-extravaganza/

• The Tube Map app I used while in London

• The SIM card I used in Europe. Best deal I could find: https://smarty.co.uk

Aloha! 🌺 Andrew Crusoe, here.

Welcome to WANDEROUS, a new podcast about upgrading your consciousness… disguised as a show about travel. At the very least, you can live vicariously through my weird experiences.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of my departure from Honolulu and embarking on my round-the-world trip.

I know I don't typically release content on a Saturday, but releasing this on the anniversary felt right.

In this first episode, I state intentions for the show and share some backstory that led into me finally starting my global adventure. Plus, a raw story about cold-approaching people on the beach. Turns out, Waikiki is not the best place to sell books!

Also, a story about a harrowing hike that could have killed me, I guess? Hint: DON'T go to the 3rd peak.

This is a co-creative show, so as I release new episodes, please keep in mind that you can comment on these posts and ask questions; and I’ll do my best to answer them in future episodes!

Notes from Episode 1:

• My Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise True Hawaii book series

• Couchsurfing.com

• The 1st episode of ASCENDANT wherein I shared my harrowing near-death experience.

• Electronic Frontier Foundation

• Follow the Patreon for free to submit questions for future episodes and get member-only exclusive (& spicy) episodes: https://patreon.com/hellocrusoe

Enjoy and stay tuned for Episode 2 next week.

And soon, you'll be able to listen to all of this on Spotify, too! Does that appeal to you? I'm going to try it out. I think it'll help with discovery.
