20 MAY 2024 · I was recently a guest on Doreen's podcast Nomadic Diaries and had a great time; check it out! Join us for an inspiring conversation with globetrotter James Hammond, as Doreen delves into his transformation from a classic backpacker to an advocate for slow travel and cultural immersion covering work visas and digital visas.   James is a podcast producer, writer and travel expert.  Doreen, the host,  admits that she was extraordinarily chatty in this episode....sorry James! In this episode, you'll discover: 👣 James's evolution from his first hedonistic journey to embracing a purpose-driven path as a digital nomad, seeking to challenge misconceptions and truly connect with diverse cultures. 🌍 Insights into navigating the world with work permits, the digital nomad lifestyle, and how pursuing work-visa opportunities in countries like New Zealand, Canada, and Japan can shape your travel experiences. 🤝 The imperative role of cultural mentorship, empathy, and the pursuit of personal growth alongside geographic exploration. 🔑 Three Key Takeaways for Nomads and Aspiring Travelers: 1. Slow and steady wins the race - Embrace slow travel to forge more meaningful connections and immerse yourself fully in each culture. 2. Home is where the heart is - Recognize the importance of a home base and unravelling emotional baggage for a sustainable nomadic lifestyle. 3. Personal growth precedes travel triumphs - Travel is an incredible tool for expansion, but it's essential to address personal issues for transformative experiences. Don't miss this deep dive into the nomadic lifestyle that transcends the allure of bucket-list ticks and embraces the richness of global citizenship. Favorite Quote from this episode: "Travel is not about merely seeing new places, but about challenging misconceptions, connecting deeply with local cultures, and realizing that empathy, understanding, and less fear can transform the way we interact with the world."  The outstanding quote of the day.

13 MAY 2024 · Hello, and welcome to number 145. This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Scott Gurian, a journalist, adventure traveller, podcaster, and reporter. Scott joined me to discuss his adventures on the Mongol Rally, visiting Chornobyl, witnessing an Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru, and more. I begin the episode by asking how Scott got interested in travel and where his early journey took him. One of the stories was about Mexico but not Cancun for Spring Break. We also talk about Scott's podcast, Far From Home, which is a travel podcast that immerses the listener in the travel experience. I have a clip from Scott's Ayahuasca Retreat embedded in the episode. Scott is a fantastic storyteller, podcaster, and journalist, and his stories are captivating. I absolutely love his podcast work, as you really feel part of the journey. Below are some of the links to get acquainted with Scott's work. This is a fantastic episode to get those travel juices flowing!  Enjoy. Be inspired!

7 MAY 2024 · Hello, and welcome to my next solo episode. This one is a little story about how Australia changed my life in 2010; going on to my year-long work permit in 2013/14 and my two visits since then. Australia was the gateway to me experiencing a completely new country outside of Europe and also presented an opportunity to earn some decent money to travel more of the world. I talk about this and more in this episode, and I always long to be back there every week.  Enjoy. Be inspired! Patreon Shout-Out Thanks to Laura Hammond for supporting this podcast.

29 APR 2024 · Hello, and welcome to number 144. This week, I am joined by Judith Keys from the My Best Friend In France Podcast, which focuses on English-speaking people migrating to France and offers a community and advice for this type of move. Judith is originally from Northern Ireland and moved to France ten years ago. She lives in Providence, in the south of France, and yes, I had to ask her, is it the quintessential French life that we all imagine she is living in? Tune in to find out the answer! We delve into how important learning French is to settling in as a permanent resident, how vital the French take workers' rights and lunch breaks, areas of France to visit and some top tips for getting started in France. Judith loves France and is fully fluent in French, so she has a great grasp of life there from an outside view.  Judith's podcast below is for English speakers looking to move to France or are already there and need familiar voices to speak about their concerns, advice on how to get started and a community of like-minded people. Judith also has a subscription portion to the podcast where she co-hosts with a teacher, and they converse in French and offer games/tasks to help you improve at speaking French. Lastly, Judith has a cooking podcast, too, if you are a foodie! Let's get stuck into the episode! Enjoy. Be inspired!

1 APR 2024 · Hello, and welcome to number 142. This week, I am joined by Joel David Bond, who has just returned from living in Kurdistan, Iraq, for the last seven years. The FBI/CIA evacuated Joel in October 2023, and we talk about that story but also Joel's love for the country, his life there, what he learned from being in that culture, and the shocking ending to his stint. In COVID, Joel was stranded on a Greek Island that housed hundreds of asylum seekers an hour's bus ride from his resort apartment; we talked about those two worlds coming together in the most unlikely scenario and some uncomfortable truths. Also nestled into the conversation is Joel's two-year stint at British Airways, and we hear some funny tales about a career that is not so seemingly dreamy. A lot is packed into this one, and we barely touched the sides with Joel's other travels, which are hitting the 90-country mark. Right now, Joel is back in the USA figuring out his next moves, and there are many funny stories, reflections and laughs in this episode. Check out Joel's stuff below. Enjoy. Be inspired!
