This week on the podcast we are joined by Heath &amp; Alyssa Padgett! Their story started with a 50-state cross-country road trip in an old RV as two broke newlyweds. After they finished that trip, they had fallen in love with travel and couldn't imagine go back to what they were doing before they started traveling, but also wanted to create value in their work and career. Over the last 8 years, they've written two best-selling books, started &amp; sold a software business, and hosted a conference for fellow RV entrepreneurs. To keep traveling, they sold all their businesses, giving them the time to enjoy traveling with their two beautiful kiddos. They're currently splitting their time between Colorado and international travels as a family of four, and our paths crossed outside of a Starbucks in Kanazawa, Japan! In this episode of the podcast, Heath and Alyssa share a bit about their journey as travelers, entrepreneurs and parents, including why they love traveling the world by RV, how they've been able to strike a balance between working and traveling, what it was like traveling Japan in an RV, what's next for them travel-wise, and much more.

Returning to Panama City after 3 Years... with a baby!

We’re Amanda &amp; Ryan and we’re the hosts of The World Wanderers podcast. We’re a traveling couple originally from Alberta, Canada with a love of exploring the world, eating great food (mostly Mexican food, if we’re being honest), learning new languages, and meeting new people. The World Wanderers podcast is a travel diary of our adventures since we started traveling together in 2011. We take you with us as we travel through Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia &amp; New Zealand as 22-year old budget backpackers looking for the best party hostel. We take you with us to South America where we go through some our deepest personal transformations. We take you with us as we move to a small town in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and take a massive career pivot. We take you with us to the southern US where we lived for a year. We take you through Asia as we navigate the world of “digital nomad life”. We take you on all our adventures in Mexico, which is the country we both feel most at home in the world. And the adventures don’t stop there. With each new place we visit, food we try, and culture that we fall in love with (or maybe don’t fall in love with), we share that with you. The evolution of how we travel has changed dramatically since the beginning, but what hasn’t changed is our love for exploring the world.

The World Wanderers Podcast

This week on the podcast we are excited to be talking with Simon from Freedomsurfer.com! Simon is a location independent entrepreneur who has been traveling the world non-stop since 2012, running his businesses remotely. For Simon, traveling full-time was never a goal and he was living a stable life in Canada, working in finance, until he found a radio show about how living as a nomad can your taxes. He fell down the wormhole and has been traveling 12 months a year since then! On the show, we find out more about Simon's travel journey and learn more about some of the options digital nomads have to secure more of their income. We also get into detail talking about residency and taxes and banking, so if that is not your area of interest, this may not be the episode for you. In this episode: * The round-about journey that led Simon to buy a one-way ticket to Singapore and traveling full-time* What the process of changing your residency is like* What does "planting flags" mean when you're talking about residency and tax optimization     * Having a different country where a business is based, where your banking is based, where your personal residency is, where you spend your time, and where your a citizen of* Why Simon felt motivated to collect all the residency, visa, bank, business, and tax information from so many countries to create freedomsurfer.com* Where Simon bases himself, his businesses, and banking* How Simon decides where he wants to go and how much time he wants to spend in each place* How traveling helps you discover more and more places you want to travel * Since he has spent so long traveling, does he ever crave moving back home and going back to a stable, more normal life? * Simon had also recently been spending time in Hong Kong through the fall, so we checked in with him about what it has  been like during the period of protests* Is traveling and going nomadic for tax benefits something that makes sense for freelancers? Or is it only advantageous for traders and finance professionals* For people interested in changing their residency, what are some of the best countries to explore? * How people that aren't from the US can take advantage of US Credit Cards that give a lot of travel benefits* What Simon's upcoming travel goals are* Follow Simon and IG at simon.around.the.worldMusic Credit: Bensound.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3657151/advertisement

We also get into detail talking about residency and taxes and banking, so if that is not your area of interest, this may not be the episode for you. In this episode: * The round-about journey that led Simon to buy a one-way ticket to Singapore and traveling full-time * What the process of changing your residency is like * What does "planting flags" mean when you're talking about residency and tax optimization * Having a different country where a business is based, where your banking is based, where your personal residency is, where you spend your time, and where your a citizen of * Why Simon felt motivated to collect all the residency, visa, bank, business, and tax information from so many countries to create <a href="http://freedomsurfer.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">freedomsurfer.com</a> * Where Simon bases himself, his businesses, and banking * How Simon decides where he wants to go and how much time he wants to spend in each place * How traveling helps you discover more and more places you want to travel * Since he has spent so long traveling, does he ever crave moving back home and going back to a stable, more normal life? * Simon had also recently been spending time in Hong Kong through the fall, so we checked in with him about what it has been like during the period of protests * Is traveling and going nomadic for tax benefits something that makes sense for freelancers? Or is it only advantageous for traders and finance professionals * For people interested in changing their residency, what are some of the best countries to explore? * How people that aren't from the US can take advantage of US Credit Cards that give a lot of travel benefits * What Simon's upcoming travel goals are * Follow Simon and IG at simon.around.the.world Music Credit: <a href="http://Bensound.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bensound.com</a> This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/3657151/advertisement" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.spreaker.com/show/3657151/advertisement</a>

Vietnam: Overnight Bus Rides, Border Crossings & Not Enough Time

Yvette and James recently spent ten days in beautiful Iceland during the winter, and were able to take in some fabulous sites and experience some of the traditional culture. Initially drawn to Iceland as a travel destination because of photos on social media, they decided to visit during the cold winter months after an earlier plan to visit during the summer was cancelled, and made the most of planning their trip using travel blogs and reaching out to AirBnb hosts after popular travel sites didn't seem to offer much help. While they definitely enjoyed their road trip in a rental car and recommend this as the best way to see the country, they had to make some adjustments to the limited daylight hours and sometimes terrible driving conditions that came along with visiting in the winter! On this episode we talk to Yvette and James about their experiences leading up to and during their trip to Iceland, including their itinerary, some of their trip highlights and their awesome New Year's Eve experience. They also chat to us about their packing list must haves, as well as trying some of the local foods, including a rotting shark dish (Hakarl) that was less than appetizing for Yvette. Between trekking to beautiful ice caves, visiting geysers, hunting for geothermal hot springs and diving between tectonic plates, Yvette and James travel stories will probably make Iceland one of your bucket list destinations!

TWW 003: London & Planning a Trip Around Europe in Summer

It's a full on accommodation-isode. We break down why we are choosing to stay more and more at Airbnb's, less at hostels, and way less at hotels. We both love staying in hostels. They are a cheap place to spend a night, but there is a lot of other value you get from staying in a dorm room. The social aspect helps you learn what to do in a city and you have a better chance to meet people and have fun experiences with new friends. Lately, we've been staying a lot more at Airbnb's. When we look at what we can get on Airbnb for the price of two beds in a hostel dorm room, it usually blows the hostel away. In Kuala Lumpur, we had a fancy studio apartment for less that the price of two beds in a ten-bed dorm. It's a no-brainer from a comfort perspective, but after staying in Airbnb's for a while we began to feel like we were missing something from almost exclusive hostel travel.  We dig into the different types of accommodation we use and why you shouldn't just listen to your desire for comfort when booking accommodations.  Topics discussed:   Pro's and con's of Airbnb Pro's and con's of hostels Pro's and con's of hotels What's the best value for you as a traveling couple  How to balance comfort with personal development, fun, and excitement  If you've never used airbnb before, you can use our link to get $25 of your first stay. http://www.theworldwanderers.com/airbnb/  Show notes featuring links mentioned in the episode can be found at theworldwanderers.com This episode is brought to you by Praxis. Praxis is the future of education, a 9-month program with a 6-month apprenticeship at a startup. It is education, without schooling. If you are 17 to 25 and ready to break free of the conventional path, go to discoverpraxis.com The World Wanderers Podcast is also sponsored by italki.com.

Airbnb vs. Hostels and Hotels

We pick up where we left off last week during our time in Japan with us leaving Tokyo for the town of Fujiyoshida and beautiful views of the iconic Mt Fuji. From there we made the most of our  JR Rail Passes on the Shinkansen bullet train and traveled to touristy Kyoto where there's lots to see and do! We learned some Japanese history, including the role Shintoism played in shaping Japanese culture, visited the famous Thousand Torii Gates, and took in a beautiful traditional tea ceremony! One of the highlights of our entire trip was our visit to Harry Potter World in Osaka, where we marveled at how quiet Japanese theme parks seemed in comparison to those we've visited in North America. Our last stop before our return to Tokyo was Hiroshima. The city's tragic past is beautifully commemorated with memorials and museums, giving visitors much to reflect on. We also got a chance to take in an exciting baseball game, which was an interesting juxtaposition against knowing the history of the horrific events that took place there during WWII. In addition to what we did in each of the cities, on this episode we talk about the benefits of purchasing a JR Rail Pass before your visit, our experiences with the Shinkansen bullet train, the benefits and challenges of visiting a country with a language barrier, how we decided which attractions to visit, and how our interest in learning about World History has increased through travel as opposed to when we learned it in a classroom setting. Japan has quickly climbed to the top of the list as one of our favourite countries and we wrap up the episode by sharing some cultural observations, tips for dining there on a budget and general takeaways when planning a trip to this fantastic country!   Enjoy!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3657151/advertisement

Charleston, SC

Chiang Mai is a popular destination for backpackers + location independent entrepreneurs alike! Our first time in Thailand, we didn't make it up to Chiang Mai, so this time around we wanted to get there, and we wanted to stay a while. We booked a month at a great AirBnb in the Nimman area, and discovered all the great restaurants in the area! We set up a routine where we were working 6 days a week, and taking one day off a week to explore the Chiang Mai area. On this episode, we discuss how we got into a routine where we were getting work done, while still discovering great restaurants, practicing yoga and exploring the area. We share what we did and some of our favorite activities in Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is really a great place to do "you" - it pretty much has something for everyone in a really comfortable location. You can eat great food, see luxury movies for an affordable price, and hang out; or you can explore outside of the city and go hiking, swim in waterfalls, etc. Enjoy!
