011: Long Term Travel with Chris Reynolds
Today we are joined by my friend Chris Reynolds from The One Effect to talk about long term and extended travel. Even as a child, I was passionate about traveling and seeing the world, which for most of us means a week or two at a time during our annual vacations. However, there is a growing community of expats who have chosen to travel abroad for months or years at a time. Chris has been on the road since 2011, and if travel is in your dreams then you will find this conversation both educational and inspirational. For our listeners with families, I will be following up in a couple of weeks with a conversation with another friend who has been traveling for two years now with his family of high school kids. If you have the travel bug there is no reason to wait just because you have school aged children. It can be done. You just need to live dangerously! As Chris said, luck favors those who take action! Books Mentioned: The Four Hour Work Week, by Tim Ferris. Considered by many to be the bible of life style design and location independent living. Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term Travel, by Rolf Potts. The single best resource for those considering long term travel! Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill. A classic book on the power of the mind in creating the life of your dreams. Websites: The One Effect, Chris’ homepage Open English, the online English school that helped fund many of Chris’ adventures. Teaching English is a great way to pay for travel or just make extra money, and many schools let you teach from the comfort of your own home.

Success and happiness is often directly related to how flexible and adaptable we are in the face of adversity, and one way to increase our flexibility is to live a learning lifestyle and to study a wide range of subjects. The study of philosophy is perhaps not very fashionable today, but there is great value in learning from the ancient philosophers who were arguably some of the greatest minds in history. I came upon Stoicism quite accidentally, and as I dug deeper into it I realized that it very closely matched my own personal approach to life and problem solving.
