Travis King's Journey as an Author, Explorer and Plastic-Fighter

This episode covers Travis King, who had a fairly normal upbringing growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and then decided to venture to South America after obtaining his Master’s Degree at 28. Four years and four continents later, Travis had a wide mix of experiences that became part of his book: Not that Anyone Asked: A Travel Memoir about Sex, Drugs, Love, and Finding Purpose.
.
In addition to the memoir, Travis stays busy writing blog posts, working on land development projects where he currently lives on the Oaxacan coast in Mexico, being half of Sprawl Consulting, playing music and hosting local events and Open Mic Night at Punta Origen, and even organizing a plastic recycling program in Puerto Escondido.
.
The conversation ranges from what inspired him to leave the country after obtaining his Master’s Degree, to the wild experiences Travis had in those four years, and all the work he does with the land development projects, and trying to clean up our planet. Check out the links below to stay updated on everything Travis is doing, and maybe even pick up a copy of Not that Anyone Asked to get the full story on some of the experiences Travis had while out exploring the world.
