The professional hobo. Probably something any family member thinks of those that do long term travel. Nora Dunn is about to smash that stereotype in this episode of the Never Ending Nomad.
In 2006, she decided like many do, to leave their current life to head off on an adventure she felt was calling her. She got rid of her belongings and even left her financial planning business to pursue what she felt was her future.
Since early 2007 she's been off visiting over 50 countries but doing it slower than most. That's what makes her unique and extremely interesting. It's not about notching up the numbers, it's about experiences and adventures for her.
She shares amazing tips and tricks for how she travels cheaply, how she's dealt with explaining a huge lifestyle transformation to family and friends and how she has created a location independent career. That's the dream right?
Check out all her work on her blog.

This episode features Derek Earl Baron also known as Earl of Wandering Earl. He started travelling in 1999 in Southeast Asia and his trip hasnāt 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 heās 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 heād do if he started from scratch he said cruise ships! Thatās 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/.

On this episode Iām talking with Adam Groffman who not only runs the website travelsofadam.com but he is the author of some really awesome hipster city guides which are really just as cool as they sound. Heās also a designer, marketer, blogger, travel writer and travel consultant so be prepared for some gold.
From his website:
In a few words, Iām a hipster travel blogger & one-time graphic designer. In 2010 I quit my job as a book designer in Boston, MA and set off on a trip around the world. Over the course of 15 months I visited more than a handful of countries from Morocco to Israel, India to Vietnam.
It wasnāt until I met people my same age from all over the world (doing very different things than what I was doing) that I was inspired to take some action. It just seemed unfair to think they had all these amazing stories to tell, and here I was, beginning to feel more and more complacent in my generally comfortable life.
It was on my IcelandAir flight back from Reykjavik to Boston that I realized thereās no reason to stop traveling. I could make something work somehow whether through my job or on my own. In seat 19F, I wrote up a list of questions:
Could I travel & not work?
Where would I go?
How much would it cost?
Would I be able to live like that?
What would I learn/do?
When would I go?
I didnāt have all the answers (actually, I had none at that moment), but I knew they were questions I would be able to answer. Honestly, Iām surprised at how easy it was to make the decision to pick up and leave Boston without answering a single one of those questions.

Today I am talking with Pete Heck who happens to be one half of the duo that are Hecktiktravels.com. He and his wife Dalene did what Iād dreamt of doing for years and sold everything they owned to travel the world. On their website Pete is described as the Chief Pretty Photo Maker and as a photographer myself itās a damn good description. Jump on to their instagram feed and see for yourself for a little travel inspiration!
In 2014 they were named as National Geographicās āTravelers of the Yearā which is just a huge accomplishment and shows just how much theyāve done.
From their website: We are Dalene and Pete Heck, a Canadian couple who sold everything to travel the world.
Quite regularly, one of us will look at the other and say: āI love my life.ā But it wasnāt always that way.
Up until the time we boarded a South America-bound plane in fall of 2009, we had lived a life of corporate ladder-climbing by day and retreating to the suburbs by night. We were not terribly unhappy with our lives, but knew that there had to be more out there. And then, during the first half of 2007, a barrage of personal tragedies pushed us to finally discover what that āmoreā was. We had learned, the very hard way, the impact of the age-old cliche: Life is too short.
We made our move. In 2009 we blindly moved from our 2,100 square foot house full of unnecessary goods into combined luggage space of 200 litres. We then began a life of perpetual travel that has been endlessly fulfilling. Weāve taught underprivileged kids to swim in Bolivia, rode camels in the Sahara Desert, kayaked among icebergs in Greenland, and so much more.

Welcome to episode five of the Never Ending Nomad Podcast where I talk with travellers from around the world to get some inspiration but to also find out how they go about making money while they travel so you can too.
This episode talks about the experiences of Savannah Grace, who started travelling at the early age of 14 with her family. Their first trip was amazingly to China. They have travelled through 140 countries and share glimpses and moments of their travels in this episode.
In this episode, Savannah talks about how a particular trip has changed her life. How it changed her lifestyle and her perspective of the world. She shares the worst and the best experiences while travelling and how they got through all of the countries they have been through. She also shares in depth experiences in some of the countries they stayed in like Afghanistan, Pakistan and many others, how they found the people in the country and the countryās culture.
Also, in this podcast episode, Savannah gives advice to people who wants to travel but still hasnāt pulled the trigger to go overseas; and some travel hacks and tricks to make travelling so much easier and cheaper. She answers some quick questions like what is the best advice sheās been given about travelling, what possession she canāt travel without, and a couple more.
You can reach Savannah Grace through her website www.sihpromatum.com; on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sihpromatum-I-Grew-my-Boobs-in-China; on twitter: https://twitter.com/sihpromatum; and of course on instagram: https://instagram.com/sihpromatum/.
Savannah also hosts a lively and super helpful Twitter chat called The Road Less Travelled (#TRLT). From her website:
"#TRLT discusses destinations overlooked on Twitter travel chats, such as Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Central America. These are places that deserve to be considered as holiday options by more travellers and #TRLT is one way to generate discussion and interest in these destinations.
Founded by Shane, Ariana and Savannah, we all possess personal experience in places infrequently travelled by others, with Afghanistan being a particular favourite for each of us.
If you are a novice or seasoned traveller on such rarely trodden paths, or even if you are seeking to place your first foot on #TRLT then join us on the following times each Tuesday:
US PT: 1000 US ET: 1300 (1 pm)
UTC: 1800 (6 pm)
West Europe: 1900 (7 pm)
United Arab Emirates: 2100 (9pm)"

Welcome to episode three of the Never Ending Nomad Podcast where I talk with travellers from around the world to get some inspiration but to also find out how they go about making money while they travel so you can too.
On this episode is the very clever Paula Pant from AffordAnything.com. Sheās been to more than 32 countries and goes about funding her travel in probably the most unique way I have found so far. Sheās an ex journalist, investor and has a great saying that she believes āMoney can fuel your wildest dreamsā.
From her website:
Iām Paula Pant: Journalist. Globetrotter. Entrepreneur. Investor.
Iāve traveled to 32 countries. I own six seven rental property units. Iām my own boss and I live on my own terms.
I believe money can fuel your wildest dreams. Thatās why this movement is about growing wealth, not pinching pennies.
Afford Anything believes in harnessing money to buy back your life. Our revolution believes that life is too short to sit in a cubicle. Master your money, so you can ditch the 9-to-5 and embark on an epic adventure.
I donāt work in a cubicle and I never sit in rush-hour traffic. I live life exactly as I want. Iāll spend 4 hours hiking on a random Tuesday if the mood strikes. Or Iāll stay up all night writing blog posts. Or Iāll travel to Bali on a whim.
Thatās because I cut ruthlessly on things that donāt matter so that I can spend lavishly on the things I love most: freedom, travel, adventure.

Lauren Bath became Australia's first full time Instagrammer and has amassed over 385,000 followers and created an army that love her images. She went from being a full time chef to a full time traveller in less than two years. How did she do it? Listen in and get all the information from Lauren.
From her website:
Lauren Bath is a chef turned photographer turned social media influencer thanks to her success on the popular photo-sharing site Instagram. An early adoption of the platform saw Laurenās followers skyrocket way before Instagram was as widely used as it is now. In early 2013 Lauren saw potential with her 200,000+ followers and quit her job to become Australiaās first professional Instagrammer, a title she earned by her ability to monetize off her social media reach and Instagram style photography.
Since then Lauren continues to grow her skills set and now specializes in putting together her own Instagram campaigns, drawing on her extensive knowledge of influencers and marketing. Also moving into education Lauren is gaining experience hosting social media and social photography workshops and speaking publicly about her journey. Laurenās philosophy towards social media marketing is to continually strive to provide value and accountability to her clients whilst remaining true to her own photography and respecting her online fan base.
