  • 127: Money Saving on Autopilot with Listen Money Matters

    31/10/2014 Duração: 44min

    Saving money is tricky. There are people listening who want to know how to save more at home, spend less on the road, or save more on the road so they can perpetuate their travels. So often, we ask travelers about travel saving strategies — and while I think the more well-traveled are particularly good at saving money on the road, saving money at home is equally - if not more important. And when I want to know more about money, then I want to spend time talking to the people who spend all of their time thinking about money, and not travel. Today I get to sit down with two financially-minded gentlemen — Andrew Fiebert and Matt Giovanisci from the award winning, fun, at times hilarious blog and daily podcast, Listen Money Matters, to have a casual, upbeat conversation about money saving strategies. What We Cover: Craft beer, and products, as a great way to explore a particular location. 3 tools to create automated systems to save money for (and on!) your travels.

And by the way, if you’re a guy, then give it a listen because Kelly’s got travel advice for all of us. I learned a lot about solo female travel through this conversation, a subject that I think is important for everyone to understand how to approach as something more nuanced than just an issue of fear. So, after growing up in Hawaii, Kelly spent time in New Zealand, the South Pacific, and South America — and has since been to 6 of the 7 continents, writing about her travels on her blog, TravelBugJuice.com Kelly and I ran into each other in Mexico and i’m excited to bring to the show what is that she’s doing — which is encouraging and empowering women to experience the whole wide world.

  • 122: Dancing Around the World with Mickela Mallozzi from Bare Feet

    23/10/2014 Duração: 42min

    Mickela Mallozzi is a dance instructor turned television host of the travel show called Bare Feet, which has aired on Travel and Escape and NYC Life, a PBS affiliate in New York. Starting in the Fall of 2015, Bare Feet will be nationally distributed on PBS in the US and Canada. Each episode, she travels to a new place and embeds herself into the people there through the traditions of dance. Occasionally, I speak with painters and photographers on this show, but I’ve never discussed dance — which, like food, is easily one of the most elemental and original expressions running through the blood of any culture. Through the lens of both the camera and dance, Mickela has explored Buenos Aires, Uzbekistan, Puerto Rico, Curacao, Italy, Germany, Ireland, all 50 states, and her home, New York City - and more places. She’s also the organizer of the Women’s Travel Fest, which is held annually around the end of February, this year in San Francisco.

  • 119: Do Things That Scare You with Matt Karsten

    20/10/2014 Duração: 36min

    Matthew Karsten has been an Expert Vagabond for the past four years, and if you want to know what that means, then you’re in the right place because we are going to get to that. Matthew champions the belief that travel doesn’t have to be expensive, getting out of your comfort zone is healthy, and the world is a safe place — and so adventure is both attainable and good for you, no matter how old you are. In 2010, despite the bewilderment of his family, Matthew quit his job, sold it all and bought a ticket to Guatemala where he found clarity in his life, in following his dreams, for the first time. Today he supports his experiences through travel blogging — and so often I hear it’s not a sustainable model for supporting your travels, and I’m curious to hear how Matthew does it and where it’s taken him, including skydiving in Fiji, camping on an erupting volcano, hitchhiking across the States, shark diving without a cage, and seducing an ostrich, in his new life of travel.

    JR Johnson is the CEO and founder of Trippy, a really fantastic Q&A website for anyone who has travel questions and wants answers from real people, or feels compelled to share their own travel stories and information. Formerly, JR founded Virtual Tourist, which became one of the largest travel communities in the world — and he's also started other companies which have since been acquired by Expedia. Having grown up in Southern California, I’m curious where in his life and why travel has played such a prominent role for JR and how it has led him to launch my favorite of his endeavors to date Trippy. What we cover: How JR got into the travel game with Virtual Tourists in 1999 through a burning desire to create great content about travel. How listening to the advice of a stranger led JR to uncover a simple, life-changing travel experience that would go on to inspire the course of his career in tech.
