This episode features Derek Earl Baron also known as Earl of Wandering Earl. He started travelling in 1999 in Southeast Asia and his trip hasn’t ended since. Earl travelled to search for the education that only travel taught. He had little interest in the sights that a country can offer but on the interactions and the lessons learned along the way. In this episode, he spoke about how he was able to sustain this lifestyle and the types of work he’s done along the way. He also gave tips on how he went out of his comfort zone and talked to random strangers he met just to learn and gather ideas and advice on travelling. He also shared his experiences in finding ways to earn money while travelling. When I asked him what he’d do if he started from scratch he said cruise ships! That’s a different response than I was expecting. He also shared his experience being kidnapped, being questioned if he was a part of some terrorist group when he arrived in the US from Afghanistan and Pakistan. He also shares some travel hacks about packing and other things, and answers some more questions about travel and people. You can learn a lot of creative stuff on how to fund your travelling, and also some hacks on travelling on his website: http://www.wanderingearl.com/; his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WanderingEarl; and his twitter: https://twitter.com/wanderingearl/.
