Eric Sutfin, founder & CMO of Zeal Remote Community, created this new platform to target the new flood of global remote workers and digital nomads. You, as a location independent employee can benefit from the in-app community based model as it offers you support from the consideration phase (like how do I even go about living in a place like Barbados for nine months?) all the way to life on the ground (how do I meet other people like me? Or how do I get health insurance, a bank account, etc.?). Today we discussed his new platform and some of the perks associated with being a digital nomad.

Sarah Stodola dives into the psyche of the beachgoer and gets to the heart of what drives humans to seek out the sand in her book, THE LAST RESORT: A Chronicle of Paradise, Profit, and Peril at the Beach. At the same time, she grapples with the darker realities of resort culture: strangleholds on local economies, reckless construction, erosion of beaches, weighty carbon footprints, and the inevitable overdevelopment and decline that comes with a soaring demand for popular shorelines.

Melody Warnick, is the author of If You Could Live Anywhere, and has found from personal experience, in some ways it matters more than ever. With 46% of Americans reassessing where they lived during the pandemic being a digital nomad has never held so much value. Melody gives easy-to-understand tips and perspective to the new group of digital nomads, or as she says, “Anywhereists.” She wants to make those who are not location dependent know the plethora of options available to them: that certain cities have programs that pay remote workers to relocate, that living internationally may not be as expensive as you think, or that by living anywhere you unlock new potential to live the life you want.

Sarah Weaver is a coach, speaker, real estate investor, entrepreneur, and business owner. When Sarah isn't analyzing deals, you can find her looking up her next flight. Sarah Weaver is a digital nomad, meaning she works 100% remotely from anywhere in the world and has been since 2015. She has traveled to 44 countries on six continents and has been fully nomadic since January 2019. As an investor, Sarah went from owning 3 units to owning 15 units in 68 days. She bought a fourplex from 8,000 miles away so she knows a thing or two about long-distance investing! Her 15 units are in four states and now include five furnished rentals—all of which she self-manages from abroad!

Ursula Martin was just 31 years old when she went to the doctor and......BAM.  Large growth, scans, blood tests, fear and uncertainty.  She had ovarian cancer. Three  months later, March 2012, Ursula was in follow-up treatment, feeling dazed, confused and, as the clouds cleared, very very lucky. Starting in March 2014 Ursula walked from her home in Machynlleth, UK to a hospital appointment in Bristol then, during the six months before the next appointment she walked around, through, in, under and over Wales, in all its wonderful variations before returning to Bristol.  Then, after the second hospital visit, I'll walk north, following the river Wye up to the mountain Plynlimon and over, home to Machynlleth.

Corritta and her wife were tired of the mundane routine of fighting traffic, spending 10 hours at the office, fighting more traffic, and then returning home - only to have dinner and family time for 2 or 3 hours before having to go to bed to do it all over again.  She was tired of spending more time with her coworkers than with her family. Due to the US not having a strong family leave program, and Corritta not accepting the limited amount of time she was getting with her newborn, she decided to leave her life in San Diego and travel the world!

    Cheryl B. Engelhardt is a composer and songwriter. She’s toured all over the world, had music in over 40 tv shows and commercials, performed on stage with Sting, and was recently featured in People and Forbes for her social justice choral piece “The Listening”, featuring Martin Luther King Jr’s goddaughter, Donzaleigh Abernathy. “The Passenger” is Engelhardt’s seventh album, a follow up to her first two best-selling and award-winning New Age albums, “Luminary” and “A Seeker’s Slumber”. This week we speak with Engelhardt, who composed and produced “The Passenger” while on a cross-country train trip, the first person ever to create an album on a train. She did so just two weeks after her best friend passed away from cancer. The trip and the creation process was one of grieving, healing, gratitude, and rest. The album features GRAMMY-winning and GRAMMY-nominated soloists who provide a decadent layer to Engelhardt’s carefully composed ambient beds. The all-female-produced album was mixed by Engelhardt and mastered by Kim Rosen of Knack Mastering.

    Vincie Ho, Ph.D., is a humane educator and social justice advocate, whom founded RISE Travel Institute in June 2020 with a mission to inspire responsible, impactful, sustainable and ethical travel through education. Her work focuses on engaging young people in important conversations around human rights, animal protection and environmental sustainability in the context of travel and beyond. Today we touched on several aspects of ethical travel, with close attention to the global refugee crisis and whether or not you should spend tourism dollars in countries that commit crimes against humanity.

    Vincie Ho, Ph.D., is a humane educator and social justice advocate, whom founded RISE Travel Institute in June 2020 with a mission to inspire responsible, impactful, sustainable and ethical travel through education. Her work focuses on engaging young people in important conversations around human rights, animal protection and environmental sustainability in the context of travel and beyond. Today we touched on several aspects of ethical travel, with close attention to the global refugee crisis and whether or not you should spend tourism dollars in countries that commit crimes against humanity.

      Derek Earl Baron, aka Wandering Earl, left home in 1999 shortly after graduating from university. His goal was to travel around SE Asia for 3 months before starting a career as a sports agent back in the US. Despite having only $1500 to his name at the time, that 3 month trip kept going and it's still going on today. Derek has now traveled all over the world for 22 years straight. He's worked on cruise ships, written eBooks, successfully blogged since 2009 and started his own tour company that runs unique, small-group trips to some of his favorite countries. He's been featured by publications such as Time Magazine and The New York Times and is frequently invited to speak at events and on podcasts in order to share the stories, insights and adventures from his life of travel.

        Paul Wilson jumped at the chance to join two local icons on a dream surf trip In the summer of 1978, to mainland Mexico, unaware their ultimate destination lies in the heart of drug cartel country. Having no earthly idea of where he’ll get the money to pay his share, and determined to prove his mettle, he does the only thing he can think of: He robs a supermarket. And, if karma didn’t already have enough reason to doom the trip, he soon learns one of his companions is a convicted killer on the run, and the other an unscrupulous cad. Mishap and misfortune rule the days, and mere survival takes precedence over surfing…

        Thomas Carter, Federal Security Director (FSD), leads the oversight of Newark, a Category X airport, and two spoke airports in the state of New Jersey, accommodating more than 30 million passengers per year for the TSA. Mr. Carter joined the TSA at its inception by transferring from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) after the horrific events of 9/11. Today we discussed the importance of TSA from the perspective of the traveler, TSA’s mission to keep us safe, some of the common misconceptions people have about the TSA/security process, and ways we can be more efficient and mindful of the men and women who work at the TSA in order to keep travel the joyous experience we all love!

        Thomas Carter, Federal Security Director (FSD), leads the oversight of Newark, a Category X airport, and two spoke airports in the state of New Jersey, accommodating more than 30 million passengers per year for the TSA. Mr. Carter joined the TSA at its inception by transferring from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) after the horrific events of 9/11. Today we discussed the importance of TSA from the perspective of the traveler, TSA’s mission to keep us safe, some of the common misconceptions people have about the TSA/security process, and ways we can be more efficient and mindful of the men and women who work at the TSA in order to keep travel the joyous experience we all love! 

        The Travelers Blueprint is an indie travel podcast where each week we like to bring you insight from travel authors, adventurers, conservationists, digital nomads, tour guides, and through our own personal experiences.

        On this episode of the Travel Around Table, the group discusses what it takes to be a “Responsible Traveler”. This included the question of whether or not you should contribute your tourism dollars to governments you don’t agree with, adding “turnstiles” to landmarks in the name of sustainability, tracking your carbon emissions, and where the responsible travel trend is headed in the future!

        Benjamin Jordan grew up in Toronto, Ontario and broke into the world of visual arts through pursuits of fashion and advertising photography. In 2006, Jordan and three friends rode their skateboards across Canada, during which he discovered his passion of producing Adventure Travel Documentaries. He remained out West and has since focused all of his energy into partnering with sponsors, to produce documentaries and publicity, through his unique brand of inspirational and philanthropic adventures. Prior to completing his record-breaking paraglider voyage from Mexico to Canada last summer, he and his partner, Lyndsay Nicole were spending time in Malawi, creating the infrastructure needed for the country's first Paragliding School: The School of Dreams.

          Andrew Otazo removed 15,290 pounds of trash from South Florida’s mangrove forests and ocean. He carried a 35-pound bag of mangrove trash (currently in History Miami’s permanent collection) the length of the 2019 Miami Marathon and led a team that hauled a 130-pound trash cart throughout the 2020 Miami Marathon. These efforts raised over $30,500 to protect Miami’s coastal habitats. Andrew has a recurring guest lecture series at the University of Miami, Clemson, and local middle and high schools on grassroots activism.

            Dean Karnazes was named by TIME magazine as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World,” and has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits. Among his many accomplishments, he has run 50 marathons, in all 50 US states, in 50 consecutive days. He’s run across Death Valley in the middle of summer, and he’s run a marathon to the South Pole. Today we discussed his life of ultra marathons, including The Road to Sparta where he retraced the steps of the story of the 153-mile run from Athens to Sparta that inspired the marathon and saved democracy!

            Matt Jacob is a photographer who’s main artistic discipline focuses on capturing the evocative, dynamic, and complex lives of humans within different cultures and subcultures around the world. Today we discussed “The Cowboy”, a series where Matt spent time on the Button Family Ranch in Kanab, Utah, USA. In Matt’s own words;

            “I was fortunate to be allowed to spend time with the Button family on the Button Cattle Co. ranch and farm and get to know the history of their generational way of life and what the future might look like in their business, given the externalities that are placing more and more significant stress on the industry, e.g. climate change, geographical sanctions, meat trade, politics and global import/export economics.”

            Josh Guerrero (@allaroundadventure) is walking across the entire state of Michigan! He's following the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCNST), for a total distance of about 1,200 miles which will be the most audacious physical feat that he's ever done! And he's taking this on in order to raise money to help his fellow Veterans through the American Veterans Archaeological Recovery foundation. 

            Josh is the creator of All-Around Adventure, a travel blog and podcast through which he shares amazing tales from afar and the all-important life lessons that go along with them. He's also a former United States Marine, Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, Archaeologist, and Adventurer who has now embarked on a whole new journey!

            Adam Schluter is a photographer who has dedicated his life to trying to use his art to try and bring the world closer together. 5 years ago, he spent all of his money to buy a plane ticket to Europe with the idea of walking up to strangers in as many countries as he could to say hello, ask for their photograph and then put the camera away to have a genuine conversation with them. The project has now been published three times by National Geographic, was a TED talk, a book and now, they're filming the show for it.

                Ja’Vonne and Gene were well aware that there was an unmet need among African Americans who not only wanted to see the world, they wanted to do it in style. More than have a great time, they want to learn about and experience other cultures first hand. In response, Ja’Vonne and her husband Gene, whose combined experience in event management, broadcasting, marketing and travel exceed 45 years, created a business to fulfill those needs. In 1998, they launched Advantage International. Since then, the couple has escorted thousands of African Americans with wanderlust to the far reaches of the world: various African and European destinations, Australia, the Caribbean, China, India, Israel, Thailand, United Arab Emirates and Vietnam, to name a few.

                  Bob and Elliot head off to the Sahara Desert to explore, eat, hike, and stargaze their way across Morocco. We had an unforgettable and seamless experience made possible by the incredible team at Berber Adventure Tours. We hiked the soft sand dunes to a serene oasis during sunset, rode ATVs through the Sahara Desert, steered camels from the ancient Berber village of Merzouga, had fresh seafood in the coastal town of Essaouira, toured through the Atlas Mountains and lively city of Marrakech, and learned about ancient Berber culture under an illuminated night sky filled with shooting stars! It was a spectacular trip from start to finish!

We had an unforgettable and seamless experience made possible by the incredible team at Berber Adventure Tours. We hiked the soft sand dunes to a serene oasis during sunset, rode ATVs through the Sahara Desert, steered camels from the ancient Berber village of Merzouga, had fresh seafood in the coastal town of Essaouira, toured through the Atlas Mountains and lively city of Marrakech, and learned about ancient Berber culture under an illuminated night sky filled with shooting stars! It was a spectacular trip from start to finish!

                  Eva Westerling, together with her partner Hassan, runs an agency offering once-in-a-lifetime hiking tours in the Moroccan desert and organizing the logistics for various excursions and tours. After a few desert hiking trips in Morocco and Oman her love for the desert is strong and she loves sharing this passion with fellow travelers. After living and travelling around Morocco for more than 2 years, she knows the country well and her Moroccan partner grew up in the desert. Together they have the local knowledge as well as the organizational skills to put together these memorable experiences.

                  In a former life Eva was a Radiologist and Global Healthcare Consultant who quit her corporate job in 2019 after a month-long holiday in Morocco including a 16 days hiking trip in the Sahara. The plan was to travel indefinitely, but it soon became clear that she wanted to base herself in Morocco. This is also where she spent the major part of the pandemic. Travel is her biggest passion, and she has been to 41 countries, many of them multiple times. She also writes a travel blog focusing on Morocco and the Middle East.

                    Emily Ford gathered some essential belongings, her dog Diggins, and set out on a 1,200 mile hike in the dead of a Wisconsin winter along the Ice Age Trail. Taking a total of 69 days from start to finish, @emilyontrail spent a majority of this time callusing her mind and body. Fighting boredom, loneliness, frozen clothing, deep snow, and gas station meals. Our conversation today covered her preparation for the trip, the enlightening experience of being deeply immersed in nature for an extended period of time, and the mental fortitude required to take that first step.

Soon after, she decided to combine her new love of running with her passion for travel and deep, deliberate exploration of other cultures. In early 2019, Liz launched Run to Reach, an 18-month philanthropic marathon expedition with the goal of running 30 marathons in 30 countries before turning 30 in June of 2020. Instrumental to Liz’s mission was her desire to leave a positive social impact on the countries she visits, one equal to their impact on her. Over the course of her mission, she partnered with 20 local women-focused NGOs across the world, whose tireless work for female empowerment and social activism often goes unnoticed. The Run to Reach journey brought Liz everywhere from the dense jungles of Sierra Leone, to glacial lakes in Mongolia, to turquoise waters in Yemen, to the central highlands of Afghanistan to undertake some of the world’s toughest marathons. With each step, she engaged in the rich and diverse cultures of these extraordinary communities and highlighted on a global scale their natural beauty and inspiring initiatives for equality.

On this podcast Angèle discussed her extraordinary story of being stuck on the small island nation of @vanuatuislands when the pandemic closed down the world in early 2020. But it doesn’t end there! She also spent time with a community of cannibals, her time almost getting stranded alone on the Solomon Islands, and her experience with a man making an extraordinary effort to save sea turtles in the south pacific. During her experience, she met exceptional “change makers”, including a flying doctor with whom she traveled with in order to provide aid to the local island population, and a woman in Bali that ambitiously provided food to the numerous families which were hit hard by the lack of tourism dollars as the pandemic unraveled the world’s travel infrastructure.

                                He’s been shot at multiple times, incarcerated in Libya, held under armed guard in a Guatemalan Military camp, and spent 5 months in a maximum security prison in Japan. He was knifed in the chest while investigating wildlife smuggling in the Amazon.  In January this year while on patrol in a Costa Rican National Park he was bitten by the world’s deadliest pit viper, coming perilously close to losing his life. 

                                His team has closed down 2 wildlife smuggling rings, and a number of illegal mining and illegal logging operations. They’ve patrolled many of the worlds greatest jungles while partnered with local Ranger teams.  They have caught countless vessels fishing illegally in marine protected areas, with many resulting in arrests, prosecutions, and confiscation of boat and catch. 

                                Captain Bethune is currently based in Costa Rica where he runs a 45m ship, a K9 tracking unit, and a $4m military drone.  His  work is supporting local Ranger teams protecting marine and terrestrial National Parks.

Trevor’s photography focuses predominantly on culture and landscapes; images which reflect a spatial and temporal journey through life and which try to convey a need to live in a more sustainable world. He seeks the moments and the light in whatever context he finds himself and endeavors to use his photographic acumen to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. 

                                     Trevor also leads small photo tours in Donegal and Ireland but also to other destinations. He lived in Ethiopia from 2006-2010 and since then has returned to take photographers to the Western and Eastern Omo, Harar, the Danakil desert and the highlands of Ethiopia. Additionally Trevor takes photo tours to Iceland, Namibia, Chad, South Sudan, Eritrea and India as well as travelling to discover and capture new locations.

There was A LOT to unpack here, and I think we did a great job (thanks to our incredibly informed guests) of navigating a very complicated and polarizing topic. By the end of this conversation we had a much deeper understanding of the issue and were able to take away a few things we can do to move the needle in the right direction.

                                        Charles Hammerton, while in the Royal Air Force, rescued a pet ferret called Bandit. The pair had a great bond and climbed mountains, trekked across countries and raised thousands of pounds for various charities. In 2017, after the loss of close family members and being discharged from the RAF, Charlie and Bandit decided to sell all they had and leave the UK behind to embark on a 10,000 mile road trip across Europe, from the Arctic Circle to Sicily! Charlie is now an author, children’s support worker and business owner... but he’s already planning his next adventure!

                                        Jeannette Ceja is a bilingual Travel Journalist, TV Host, Travel Advisor, and a Global Public Speaker. Last year, she was awarded as one of the top 20 Global Women of Excellence by U.S. Congressman Danny K. Davis and the Multi-Ethnic Advisory Task Force. In this conversation we discussed the challenges and ambitions the travel sector faces as it transitions to be more inclusive of all people, cultures, and ethnicities. Jeanette provided valuable insight on her work to increase representation associated with travel companies, and perhaps more importantly, travelers themselves. This was an incredibly insightful conversation, and one that we hope to repeat moving forward!

He now leads treks throughout Peru and Colombia, and today we discussed his tours through the Colombian jungle!  Matt is the Co-Founder of South Andes Tour Agency & Operator which specializes in local options and personalized experiences for hikes in Peru and Colombia. 

                                          Inside the Episode:

                                          • (08:35): Matt starts us off with his incredible story of being stuck within Colombia for four months, starting in March of 2020 at the height of the global lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 
                                          • (21:41): We make the transition into Colombian tourism, but first tackle the big question: Is Colombia dangerous?!
                                          • (31:03): We get into a discussion on the culture, environment, and tourist attractions of Colombia. 
                                          • (52:00): What’s the infrastructure in Colombia like? As Matt tells us - you can enjoy everything from major hotel chains to small village stays.
                                          • (01:10:29): Matt’s specialty is off the beaten path. He’s an explorer; and those that book with him are too. His treks wind through unknown trails exploring parts of Colombia that you’ll never read about in Lonely Planet. As they say, “the best views come after the hardest climb”, and with Matt you’ll see the authentic side of this overlooked South American gem. 
                                          • (01:22:40): Rapid Fire Round!

With the islands of the Indonesian archipelago, and the vibrant countries of southeast Asia at his doorstep he’s never short of inspiration, and spends much of my time on the road (and on the ocean) capturing the magic of life through a series of fleeting moments.

He has a passion for photography with a strong fascination for cultures in transition. With the islands of the Indonesian archipelago, and the vibrant countries of southeast Asia at his doorstep he’s never short of inspiration, and spends much of my time on the road (and on the ocean) capturing the magic of life through a series of fleeting moments. Inside the Episode: (07:58): Nikola starts us off with his experience during the conflict in the Balkans. (11:13): We make the transition to Nikola’s introduction to photography. (21:08): Nikola shared some profound moments from his travels and photography that helped shape his philosophy on the world. With an eye for the individual, Nikola looks for “symbols”. (34:20): Elliot brings up the Monoliths discovered throughout the world in late 2020. This then brings us into a discussion on ancient civilizations. (36:39): The conversation transitions to the cultural diversity and political climate of the United States and its impact on the world. (43:16): Elliot brings up the banana duct taped to a wall..”art”. (46:00): We discuss Nikolas's experience as a photographer in Bali. (59:52): Nikola tells us about his twelve part travel guides!

A native of Cameroon, Wen discovered antimicrobial fabric blends after a trip to Iceland. He realized some fabrics held odors longer than others and committed to discovering why. With four successful crowdfunding campaigns under his belt, the company has earned over $700,000 from hundreds of backers on Indiegogo and Kickstarter — $551,000 in 2020 alone.

                                              Inside the Episode:

                                              • (04:52): We start with an introduction of Wen, including his upbringing in Cameroon Africa and some early moments that inspired his travels. 
                                              • (35:09): Wen brought us through his hilarious story in Iceland that ultimately inspired his laundry free clothing line HercLeon. He found himself in a common situation among backpackers and travelers - being stuck with smelly worn clothes with no idea where the closest washing machine was. It was in those smelly moments that Wen got innovative. 
                                              • (38:18): HercLeon is a self cleaning fabric, (no, the shirts don't know how to operate a washing machine) meaning the fabric itself actively fights off bacteria growth making it a perfect piece of clothing for those of us who live out of backpacks, climb mountains, sleep on airport floors, and don't know how to eat pad thai with chopsticks. We’re all in!

Between 2010 and 2016, Larry was Professor of Engineering Practice at the University of Michigan, Director of the Program for Sustainable Mobility at Columbia University, and an advisor to several major companies.

                                                  Larry is the author of Autonomy: The Quest to Build The Driverless Car—And How It Will Reshape Our World (with Christopher Shulgan and published by Ecco / HarperCollins on August 28, 2018).

                                                  Inside the Episode:

                                                  • (05:02): Larry starts us off with a brief history of his upbringing and how it influenced his passion for travel. 
                                                  • (12:44): We begin our discussion on autonomous technologies and how Larry began his career as a contributor to these technological advancements. 
                                                  • (14:40): As Vice President of Research and Development for General Motors, Larry was met with a life changing question by GM’s CEO. As Larry explains, this question influenced Larry’s philosophical outlook on what it meant to develop and manufacture an automobile and contributed to new developments around electric vehicle design.
                                                  • (20:40): What do YOU hate about travel?! Long lines, expensive airfare, overpriced hotels, and the time you spend moving between destinations?? Well, autonomous technology appears to be the solutions to those problems. In the not too distant future, the annoying aspects of travel will likely become more enjoyable as our cars turn into autonomous hotels on wheels and humans start to opt for their autonomous transport vessels over expensive crowded airplanes and public transit.
                                                  • (35:25): Is it better to have autonomously driven vehicles instead of manually driven cars? 
                                                  • 39:50: How will autonomous tech decrease the financial burden of owning a car? Similar to your Netflix subscription and how the Uber app operates, you may be ordering an autonomous travel vehicle in the very near future. So, while you’re sitting back letting the car drive itself, maybe think about what you can do with all that extra cash! 
                                                  • 50:00: When will autonomous vehicles be an everyday reality?

                                                    Inside the Episode:

                                                    • (05:02): Larry starts us off with a brief history of his upbringing and how it influenced his passion for travel. 
                                                    • (12:44): We begin our discussion on autonomous technologies and how Larry began his career as a contributor to these technological advancements. 
                                                    • (14:40): As Vice President of Research and Development for General Motors, Larry was met with a life changing question by GM’s CEO. As Larry explains, this question influenced Larry’s philosophical outlook on what it meant to develop and manufacture an automobile and contributed to new developments around electric vehicle design.
                                                    • (20:40): What do YOU hate about travel?! Long lines, expensive airfare, overpriced hotels, and the time you spend moving between destinations?? Well, autonomous technology appears to be the solutions to those problems. In the not too distant future, the annoying aspects of travel will likely become more enjoyable as our cars turn into autonomous hotels on wheels and humans start to opt for their autonomous transport vessels over expensive crowded airplanes and public transit.
                                                    • (35:25): Is it better to have autonomously driven vehicles instead of manually driven cars? 
                                                    • 39:50: How will autonomous tech decrease the financial burden of owning a car? Similar to your Netflix subscription and how the Uber app operates, you may be ordering an autonomous travel vehicle in the very near future. So, while you’re sitting back letting the car drive itself, maybe think about what you can do with all that extra cash! 
                                                    • 50:00: When will autonomous vehicles be an everyday reality?

They are both originally from Western Canada, but fell in love with traveling on their first big backpacking trip around the world in 2011. Since then, they have traveled all over the world together! In 2016, Amanda & Ryan took their work online so that they could travel more full-time and more sustainably. They’ve been digital nomads ever since, and although Canada will always be home, they have now lived in places like Bali, Mexico, the United States, and Panama. They created The World Wanderers as a way to share their travel adventures with other people, to encourage and inspire other people to get out and see the world, and to have great conversations with like-minded people.

Rolf is perhaps best known for promoting the ethic of independent travel, and his book on the subject, Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel, which has been through thirty-two printings and translated into several foreign languages.

                                                          Inside the Episode:

                                                          • (5:14): Elliot introduces Rolf and we jump right into his book, Vagabonding. 
                                                          • (8:41): Rolf describes his book, Vagabonding and how its popularity took hold as tech advancements allowed for better online working experiences. As a result, the term “Digital Nomad” became a philosophical ideology and a benchmark for success for travel enthusiasts around the world. Thanks Rolf.
                                                          • Who here is guilty of the “checklist mentality” while traveling? It is SO easy to want to run from one landmark to the next the second you step down in a brand new city. But as Rolf explains, sometimes, the things that you may feel are holding you up, or slowing you down can actually be more authentic to your experience than any landmark. The lesson here is: Be Present. Enjoy each moment. Take in the city through a cab window if you’re stuck in traffic. Enjoy the conversation if your waiter is taking longer than expected to bring the check. Or just throw out your plans and travel spontaneously all together - we won't judge. 
                                                          • (30:10): Are you a “Checklist Traveler”, a “Vagabond”, or somewhere in between? On the podcast with Rolf we discussed the variation in travel styles. From itinerary driven vacationers to spontaneous budget backpackers - there seems to be just as many travel preferences as there are people packed into the Vatican in July. So which travel preference reigns supreme?! Listen to find out :)
                                                          • (30:34): Rolf has spoken! We (Americans) can still be partial-Vagabonds with our depressingly few vacation days. It’s all about perspective and how you manage your experience. You may not be backpacking for 6 months through Europe, but you can still see the world through the eyes of a true Vagabond if you so choose.
                                                          • Vagabonding does not give you a moral high ground, so don’t be a hater. That person infatuated with the Great Wall of China, or the over touristy Champ De Mars could have spent years planning and saving for that experience. To them, it’s profound. Just as profound as your backroad Tanzanian trip, your multi-day trek through Peru, or the time you woke up in bed with a random Indian man in Thailand (no, just us?). Point is: “Don’t be a dick.”
                                                          • (34:55): “It just doesn’t cost that much to travel and have amazing experiences” - Rolf Potts, on The Travelers Blueprint Podcast. When he broke it down, it made so much sense. Say you buy 1 cup of coffee per day for a year from Dunkin for $2 a cup. The $730 you spent could get you about 2,284 meals in Thailand. Your money can go SOOO far in other countries. The experiences will be priceless. Moral of the story: Save your money and travel the world.
                                                          • (47:42): Rolf makes a great point that it’s ok to miss things. If you're traveling slow, you can always come back and experience what you didn’t the first time. “You’ve given yourself a gift for the future”
                                                          • (55:19): Material possessions just don’t provide us with the same satisfaction that experiences do. Don’t believe me?

                                                            Inside the Episode:

                                                            • (11:15): Christina and Jules break down their backpacking travel style and give tips and information on how others can follow in their footsteps.
                                                            • Jules and Christina were quite the Vagabonds. Back before the glitzy term “#travelinfluencer” existed and the over saturated Bali photos ran rampant on Instagram, Jules and Christina were making their way around the world working for non-profit organizations and surviving off of rice, beans, and an unbiased experiences.
                                                            • (13:40): Jules discusses how they began travel blogging, creating ebooks, and general travel influencing during the infancy of the industry way back in 2013.
                                                            • (19:50): We start a conversation on “White Savior” complex. What is it? How can we avoid it? And how can we change voluntourism to better help the people it’s supposed to.
                                                            • (23:27): With Jules and Christine, we discussed the weird conundrum around Voluntourism. We all know the issues surrounding this industry (que the white dude posing with black kids in Africa for social media likes). These photo ops are almost always egotistical and they need to stop. However, the conundrum arises when you remove that egomaniac from the equation and then the money that person spent in that location leaves with them. So - is there a way to increase funds going to build homes, wells, schools, etc. while removing the people who travel to these locations for the social media likes?
                                                            • (30:54): Who here plans on riding an abused elephant? We’re going to assume most people don't seek out abused animals for fun. But abused elephants still get ridden ALL the time! If 2020 has anything to offer it is an abundance of instant information at your fingertips. Do animals a favor - before your trip just dig a little bit deeper into the organization you plan on visiting to ensure they have morals.
                                                            • With years of personal experience, the @NotSoBonVoyage couple had incredible insight on the darker side of the Voluntourism industry. It was eye opening, and the ultimate takeaway was that research is key. Bad organizations are getting more creative in their effort to hide behind a facade of “conservation” but in reality, do not ethically treat animals or the local population ethically.

In our conversation today, Justin discussed how he completed the first unsupported kayak expedition from Australia to New Zealand (62 days, 3318 km/ 2075 mi), the first unsupported expedition from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back (89 days, 2285 km/1430 mi) and a 1800km/1125 mi trek across the Australian Outback with a one year old (102 days). 

                                                                    Inside the Episode:

                                                                    • (5:51): “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all” As you hear Jonesy’s explanation for putting this quote by Oscar Wilde on his website, he makes it clear that his biggest fear (coming from a guy who encountered hungry sharks while kayaking from Australia to New Zealand) is living a life of regret. Seems cliche, and it is, but that’s because we can ALL relate. One thing we learned from talking to people like Jonesy on our podcast is just how important it is to take action on the things you are gratifying. Whether it's hiking across Antarctica or starting a travel podcast - do it. VG

Our guest Jonesy took 3.5 years to plan his incredible kayaking expedition across the Tasman Sea, the sea between Australia and New Zealand - the first to do it on an unsupported vessel. The journey ended up taking 62 days, where Jonesy and his partner were hit with life draining elements, including hungry sharks, a hurricane, and dehydration. 
                                                                    • (14:32): Jonesy is a methodical and meticulous planner. However, no matter how much you plan you can never really ‘know’ what to expect once you put yourself in an open kayak, in the middle of the Tasman Sea...with our merciless and unforgiving Mother Nature. 
                                                                    • (24:24): Walking roughly 18 miles a day over the course of three months through the blistering cold of Antarctica, Jonsey was burning about 10,000 calories per day (think 20 Big Macs a day). Due to packing restrictions however, Jonsey was only able to eat about 6,000 calories per day, surviving off of dehydrated meals, vegetable oils, and butter. 
                                                                    • (28:11): How do you poop when you're bundled up on a hike through Antarctica? “Have you ever watched a man poo for 6 days straight? You should try it!?”

                                                                    • (37:56): “The Longest Unsupported Unassisted Polar Expedition of All Time” That’s what Jonsey planned on accomplishing with his partner Cas after extensive planning and preparation. Then, they showed up to the starting point only to find out that another guy would be challenging them for the title. By the time they made it back halfway - word got back that this man had beaten them to the finish line. However...as you hear Jonesy say in this clip, the man, named Alex, waited for them to cross together. #humanititycanbebeautiful

Scott is an associate of the Botanical Preservation Corps and was on the 2010 expedition to Peru collecting seeds and information on medicinal, edible, and sacred plants throughout the Andes. In 2010 Scott opened the Ethnobotanical Conservation Organization or EthnoCO which is a company based in Peru that leads expeditions and sells cultural wares.

                                                                      Inside the Episode:

Well...as Scott tells us, dolphins in Peru have been spotted to have intimate relationships with men in the area. I am going to leave the remainder of this caption up to your imagination, but if you’re looking for more information - then you’ll want to tune into our podcast.
                                                                      • Animals of higher intelligence (think primates and mammals) have been observed to seek drugs and sex for pleasure. Why? That’s exactly what we sought to learn on our podcast with Scott, the ethnobotanist and close friend of The Travelers Blueprint.
                                                                      • Lemurs in Madagascar have been observed to seek out a very peculiar millipede. They play with it, lick it, and then rub it all over their body. Why? To get high. The chemical reaction creates an enjoyable psychoactive experience for the animal. However, what researchers have found is that unbeknownst to the lemurs, their little benders are saving their lives. The chemicals in the millipede also acts as a potent insecticide, saving these lemurs from the numerous deadly viruses and bacteria spread through other insect bites. So, the bloodline of the lemurs on this unique African island nation may depend on their drug induced rock star lifestyle. Life, uh, finds a way.

By hiding in the SUV of a gun smuggler, Michael avoided what would have been, at a minimum, a very long prison sentence.

From how to navigate the city, where to grab a slice of pizza, to where to stock up on the best wine, Brandon was able to provide us with detailed information on the how, when, and where for all things Rome.

                                                                          • As a longtime resident of Rome, Brandon recommended the neighbor of Monteverde to get off the beaten path. A 15-minute train ride outside you can grab a bite to eat, “as the Romans do”. 
                                                                          • The very informative Brandon Shaw, Co-Founder of The Tour Guy was able to provide us with an overwhelming amount of logistical information for those visiting Rome.

His time there has given him the ability to create a local’s experience, highlighting some of the best- kept secrets that cannot be found in a guidebook. After moving back to San Francisco, he worked in the Spanish food and wine industry. In this role he was able to build relationships with the best restaurants, wineries, and Mezcal producers in Northern Spain and Mexico. It was shortly after this, in 2012, when he launched Coast to Costa to share his love and insider knowledge of all things Spanish. Since then his passion for travel has expanded Coast to Costa’s roster to include several destinations in Mexico and Cuba.

His time there has given him the ability to create a local’s experience, highlighting some of the best- kept secrets that cannot be found in a guidebook. After moving back to San Francisco, he worked in the Spanish food and wine industry. In this role he was able to build relationships with the best restaurants, wineries, and Mezcal producers in Northern Spain and Mexico. It was shortly after this, in 2012, when he launched Coast to Costa to share his love and insider knowledge of all things Spanish. Since then his passion for travel has expanded Coast to Costa’s roster to include several destinations in Mexico and Cuba.

She shares her findings with you on her website, in her twice a month podcast (also called Active Travel Adventures). Kit is a 57 year old widow that discovered adventure travel AFTER she turned fifty. All of the adventures are something that she can do, and so can YOU if you are reasonably fit, especially if you do a little pre-trip training. The common denominator is that on all of these adventure vacations, you have to MOVE! You're going to have to hike, bike, paddle, horseback ride, or somehow self-propel yourself from one place to the next – sometimes in combination! Often these trips have a cultural component, such as a regional cooking class or wine tasting, or some other immersion with the locals.

But she is also extremely passionate about travelling. 3 years ago she started travelling with a mission to visit 30 countries before she turned 30. Her ambition quickly grew and she has now visited over 50 countries. Her new goal is to see all 193 UN recognized countries and be the youngest black woman to do so. Travelling to me is the kintsugi (Japanese word for mending with gold therefore making a broken item better than new) of life. Kintsugi is able to both mend and enrich; making one's life much more fulfilling. Travelling has turned her into a storyteller whilst teaching her the ability to connect with people on a deeper level and showcasing that there is more good than bad in the world.

Speeding up boarding times and eventually eliminating the need for paper copy boarding passes, we are excited to see this finally come to the USA.

                                                                          Do you have your REAL ID? The deadline has been established! Starting October 20, 2020 you will need your REAL ID to fly anywhere in the USA, yes that includes domestic. If you don’t have it you’ll be required to bring along your passport for any flight.

                                                                          Ladies, forget the Bahamas. Your next girls trip can focus on the Estonian island of Kihnu. With men fading from society in the 19th Century (about 5 men still reside here) the woman have assumed virtually every societal role.

                                                                          The USA has banned all commercial flights to Cuba with the exception of Havana. This is something we were sorry to hear. After recently learning more about Cuba with our guest @coasttocosta we were looking forward to travel restrictions continuing to relax. It appears another hurdle for USA-Cuban tourism has another hurdle.

We still have to wait on the conclusions of the forensic data - so for now its still all speculation. If these bones do end up being hers, not only does that mean she survived the crash, but that she was also a cast away on a south pacific island for some time before she died. Again, woah.

We break down 10 different news articles, including: The roll out of airport terminal face recognition technology (AKA getting your picture taken) is coming to a US airport near you! Speeding up boarding times and eventually eliminating the need for paper copy boarding passes, we are excited to see this finally come to the USA. Do you have your REAL ID? The deadline has been established! Starting October 20, 2020 you will need your REAL ID to fly anywhere in the USA, yes that includes domestic. If you don’t have it you’ll be required to bring along your passport for any flight. Ladies, forget the Bahamas. Your next girls trip can focus on the Estonian island of Kihnu. With men fading from society in the 19th Century (about 5 men still reside here) the woman have assumed virtually every societal role. The USA has banned all commercial flights to Cuba with the exception of Havana. This is something we were sorry to hear. After recently learning more about Cuba with our guest @coasttocosta we were looking forward to travel restrictions continuing to relax. It appears another hurdle for USA-Cuban tourism has another hurdle. NURSES! You have until the end of today to sign up for your FREE Caribean vacation! Click the link, sign up, go. You deserve it.

About 3 years ago, she left everything behind, booked a one-way ticket to Thailand and left with nothing else than a backpack and a camera. With no plan, no itinerary, no contact she started wandering around Asia where she kept meeting amazing people making a difference for our planet or for others. She decided to turn this adventure into a mission to meet these changemakers and tell their stories through photography and video, on social media. What was to be a 3 months trip turned into a 13 months adventure, backpacking around 13 countries! That's how her project was born: Bloom. Since then, she decided to look for as many hidden heroes all around the world as possible, shine a light on what they are doing, and help them through crowdfunding campaigns when they need help to keep making the world a better place. She believes that the world is filled with good people, and that they deserve their stories to be told to inspire and give hope to the rest of the world. Because as the Dalai Lama says: "The planet does not need more 'successful people.' The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds."

Robin was born and raised in Zimbabwe on a ranch in the south east of the country. His family moved to South Africa in the early 80’s where Robin completed his high school, military service and obtained a BComm degree. In the ‘gaps’ he travelled and worked around the globe. In 1998 he returned to Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls, where he set up and ran an adventure sports production company, filming adrenaline sports activities, as well as managing an overland truck department for Safari Par Excellence. After meeting Clare, he moved to Zambia where he was General Manager for three years at The River Club, a 5-star lodge on the Zambezi River. In 2004 Robin and Clare were married and they moved to the UK. Robin spent five years with Africa Travel Resource, where he managed the website and online marketing. In 2010 Robin set up Mamba Media, a digital marketing agency focusing on providing bespoke solutions to the travel and tourism industry. Through all of his careers and experiences, ideas for SafariDeal.com were brewing and eventually coming to fruition when they launched the business in 2017.

However, something was missing. Kelly’s soul longed for more meaning and adventure. At first, she was too afraid (of failure, of people’s judgement, of making the wrong choice, etc.) to make any changes. Then one day it hit her---if she wanted a different life, she had to make different choices and it was 100% up to her to create the life she wanted. That gave her the courage to finally take the leap. She quit her secure job to embark on an adventure around the world!

She and her husband knew that when they returned they would spend the rest of their lives trying to travel as much as they could. Having a passion and being just a little stubborn, Celine and her husband knew wouldn’t wouldn’t stop traveling into parenthood and made a promise to each other that they would find a way to keep seeing the world. After their kids were born, they quickly realized how different travelling with a baby and kids would be. As Celine spent hours researching her many, many concerns, she found information that was either scattered or limited online. This brought Celine to write travel guides specifically for parents travelling with a baby to some of the worlds’ top cities. Celine continues to try to inspire new parents to keep travelling after having a baby. As Celine puts it, “If you are considering a trip with your baby, we congratulate you and invite you to explore the information within our website and in our travel guides.”Bob DiMenna and Elliot ShibleyTTB 043: Archaeological Exploration in Cambodia

In recent years, imagery from two lidar acquisitions were used to map seven previously concealed and undocumented dense urban landscapes surrounded by much lower density peripheries in medieval Cambodia (9th – 14th centuries CE). The revelation of these urban areas suggests that a complex web of agricultural and occupation spaces linking more densely inhabited urban nuclei may have been a ubiquitous, defining feature of Khmer landscapes. Dr. Klassen’s research contributes to interdisciplinary dialogues of urbanism, resilience, and water management by providing empirical evidence of the resilience of these cities over the long-term.Bob DiMenna and Elliot ShibleyTTB 042: Inked and Abroad

As he explains on this episode, “getting told you have cancer is hard. Going through the treatment might be even harder. Getting back to life once it’s all said and done, that might be the hardest thing of all. But travel has always made me feel free. Made me feel alive. And the stories it gave to me, well they weren’t always the type of things I’d tell my Mum. Then again, every corner of the world offered chances for me to heal. With every journey slowly putting me back together after my Leukemia diagnosis split my soul into a million pieces. There’s a lot of cool sh*t in the world. I once found a squirrel inside a garbage bin in Washington DC. That’s a bad example. But the point remains, I feel alive when I’m traveling. So that’s what I do. I’m a storyteller. A tattooed traveler and teller of tales. Whether I’m getting tattoos. Doing something I’m proud of. Or something I should confess. I’m no longer a cancer sufferer. And I’m more than a cancer survivor. I am…Inked and Abroad.”Bob DiMenna and Elliot ShibleyTTB 041: No Barriers
