Travel Wisdom Podcast -travel and learn languages for success and money

230 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 57 ratings

Can travel be more than just a fun thing to do? Could it also provide some benefit and learning experiences later in life? I have always thought this and this is why I have relentlessly travelled the world and now have been to over 80 countries. I have always thought that I was planting the seeds of wisdom while in faraway lands. Through experiences with foreign people, cultures, concepts, and ways of doing things I learned much more than anything I could've done while at home. I interview amazing guests, bestselling authors, scientists, successful business people, dating experts, travel junkies, polyglots (people who speak more than 3 languages), and anybody who I think is interesting for the growth of our listeners and I as people. I think by doing this we can plant the seeds of wisdom which will ultimately lead to our success in career, business, money, relationships, self-worth, and generally being a more well-rounded person. But it requires you to be active making this happen. What do you think?

Shawn Paris has spent the last 4 years of his life essentially homeless. He has stayed with around 200 couchsurfing hosts in the US, France and Japan while going around and performing.

August 29, 2018 10:00 - 37 minutes - 26 MB

After many months of planning and a failed recording attempt, I was finally able to talk to fellow podcaster, Eric Trules. Instead of becoming a doctor he instead became a clown who performed on the street and followed wherever life took him. That ended up taking him to a position as a professor at USC teaching improv classes. Eric sees many parallels with travel and clowning in that it is really important to stay spontaneous and to always say yes!   Finally, I want to give a shoutout to...

Travel on Purpose and the therapeutic side of travel

June 13, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MB

Antesa and I actually had two calls which were merged into one. Usually, I don't like life coaches very much but her message is very close to mine so it resonated very well. Our stories were so similar that I had to have her on again. The first interview I was actually in an In And Out burger, I actually hadn't planned to record it. The second one was in my studio that I had set up a few weeks later. The key takeaways from this episode is that Travel is a form of escapism for most people b...

Both of us had the experience of getting better after about 6 months of moving our ass! So whatever you do, if you feel the pull...

May 16, 2018 10:00 - 8 minutes - 5.87 MB

Since I last gave updates on things in my life it has been about 6 months (since I recorded the episode, not since I published it). Lots has happened! I have now gotten a job and moved to Gainesville, Florida. It is a cool project designing injectable brain implants and I am very happy. It was almost 2 years since I finished my Masters in Germany and it has been a hell of a time finding a job I would be happy in. I am already thinking that I could spend a few years here even though I was...

I only had 2 hours to meet Graham while I was passing through London "ok, let's meet at a Chinese all you can eat buffet."

February 28, 2018 11:00 - 11 minutes - 8.01 MB

Have you ever gone outside of your country only to return a few years later? Did some things that you used to do or see no longer seem normal to you? This was my experience coming back to the US after 3 years. Everything felt so big and commercialized. It was really strange! There were many things that I didn't like and would ideally get rid of in the US. It is interesting because I had the exact opposite response a few years earlier. I wanted desperately to go back to the US (to eat Mexic...

Chinese medicine ideas that aren't completely crazy with Andrew Miles

February 14, 2018 11:00 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MB

Andrew is on the show again because I loved what he talked about last time! I have listened to every episode of his Botanical Biohacking podcast because he has an ability to explain Eastern medicine with Western vocabulary.  Maybe you heard things like Chi from Tai Chi which means gas or energy which flows through the body. Turns out, there's something called gasotransmitters which send signals throughout the body. They just didn't have the Latin vocabulary for it! Andrew talks about man...

January 31, 2018 11:00 - 12 minutes - 8.56 MB

2017 was a very interesting year for me! After coming back from being deported to Russia in late 2016 I ended up moving in with an awesome girl. Actually, I only stayed with her half of the time to make sure that I wouldn't have visa problems. So I did odd jobs around Europe and bounced around to prevent border control from getting mad at me!

Peter put this network together which has a global reach and now reaches about 4 m...

What to do once you've travelled the world for 3 years with Katy Trost

October 18, 2017 10:00 - 46 minutes - 32.2 MB

Katy Trost has a great first world problem: she travelled for 3 years before finally realizing she was bored of it and wanted to do something else. She realized that she was not feeling fulfilled and although she had fulfilled all her dreams, she needed more. Now she helps Type A leaders deal with burnout and avoiding stress.  I have felt this also, after travelling to almost 100 countries over the last decade I need more. It's time to build something else more substantial that's worth the...

Ok, so Chase totally doesn't condone this but he was talking about how he was in a low point in his life and decided to do risky things as a subconcious way to commit suicide. He learned to love life in the process and is now very happy. But I had to laugh when I imagined the most crazy way to kill yourself.
