Ep 63 Nathaniel Boyle of the Daily Travel Podcast on finding the essence behind travel

Nathaniel Boyle is the host of the Daily Travel Podcast where he goes into the deeper reasons and the essence of why we travel. He is an explorer addicted to new things, travel optimist, and frequent flyer mile collector who’s circumnavigated the globe. He's been to thirty countries across five continents, lived and worked in New Zealand, rode the Transsiberian, stayed with nomads in Mongolia, jumped out of airplanes and swam with sharks. Even amidst all of the travel advice and guides out there already, he believes the authentic world is largely undiscovered. The only way to uncover the best experience is through chance discovery, by allowing yourself to get lost and let the stories happen to you.

He wants to inspire more people to step outside their comfort zone and become Explorers.

In this episode we talk about the genesis of the podcast and how he answered the call to adventure. We talk about his time working in New Zealand and how easy it was to get a work visa there. Then we talked about the beauty of bringing a guitar and how it helped him make friends and spontaneous things that can happen because of it. We talk about the beauty of Mongolia and how it is like the American West of the East. Finally we talk about the philosophical side of travel, how it can redefine your limits, and how it can make you a better person.

His joke: "How much does a polar bear weight? Enough to break the ice"
