The Most Fun & Loving Country In The World

What was the biggest adventure of your life?Mine was Papua New Guinea. It was both the most challenging and best travel experience I had out of the ~100 countries I’ve explored.It's remote. It's rugged. It lacks infrastructure. Over 800 languages are spoken. It appears to be untouched by the outside world for hundreds - if not thousands - of years. Encountering the wrong tribe, animal, insect, or plant could cause serious problems. It is certainly a challenging destination.But those are also the exact reasons I and other travelers looking for an adventure want to visit Papua New Guinea. Its untouched and diverse tribal cultures, natural and rugged beauty, and legends of adventure have long captured my imagination.Here were the 3 biggest lessons I learned from that experience.WATCH THE FULL EPISODE HERE:  https://www.facebook.com/gokonrad/posts/3017886551640639

Take Risks & Push Your Creative Limits with Chris Burkard

Every person and product in your life has a plan for how they want you to spend your time. Our default nature is to react. As a result, our days are usually dictated by whatever request was first, most recent, or loudest. But here's the thing - no one has ever accomplished anything meaningful or achieved fulfillment by letting other people dictate their schedule. In the quest of trying to be the best dad, husband, founder, and person I could be, I tested a lot of tactics to make me more intentional and proactive - not reactive. Through a lot of trail and error, here are the three lessons I learned to get control of your day. WATCH THE FULL EPISODE HERE:  https://www.facebook.com/gokonrad/posts/2956435827785712

Rolf Potts

During this Fireside Chat, we’re getting #TravelFromHome inspiration from Rolf Potts, legendary explorer of 60+ countries and author of the wildly popular travel text, Vagabonding. His book was a forerunner of the quit-your-job-and-travel-the-world movement and inspired the likes of Tim Ferriss, who ranks Vagabonding in his personal top-10 list of life-changing books.  As we recline against a throw pillow with a laptop humming away on our thighs, we wonder how exactly to find the risks and rewards of travel within our homes and ourselves. There’s no better expert to get us there than Rolf. His approach to adventure is just as much a mindset as it is a physical challenge. This from the man who once traversed the world for six weeks without luggage of any kind!  We pick Rolf’s brain about what #TravelFromHome means to an experienced vagabonder and how he’s satisfying his wanderlust without opening the front door.

You can only tour so many museums virtually before your itchy feet yearn for adventure. Give in to your wanderlust by dusting off your bucket list and adding to it. Borders will eventually reopen, flights will resume and you’ll freely explore new destinations again. When that time comes, do you want to hang-glide over Rio de Janeiro? Track silverback gorillas in Rwanda? Summit Mt. Kilimanjaro?  For this Fireside Chat, we’re bringing in the most qualified person to help you curate your bucket list: Lee Abbamonte. He’s the youngest person to have traveled to every country in the world, including the North and South poles. Unsurprisingly, he’s been called the Marco Polo of the 21st century by Arthur Frommer, founder of Frommer’s guidebooks.  Given his extensive experience, we’ll ask Lee for his creative take on how to #TravelFromHome, how he thinks the pandemic will impact the future of travel and tourism, and, now that he’s been everywhere, what’s next on his own bucket list. --&gt; JOIN future live events by joining TripScout's Travel From Home Facebook Group --&gt; WATCH this interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8vKAyFJcLus Here's how you can follow Lee Abbamonte:  Blog: LeeAbbamonte.com  Twitter: @leeabbamonte  Instagram: @leeabbamonte

Pauline Frommer

Pauline Frommer is the Co-President of the Frommer Media Group and Director of Frommer’s Guidebooks. We know you don’t need a guidebook for your trip from the living room to the kitchen, but it wouldn’t be so bad to have some type of guidance for navigating life in general right now. In this Fireside Chat, the Queen of Guidebooks herself, Pauline Frommer, joins us as we develop a sort of #TravelFromHome guidebook for wanderlusters. Now more than ever, it’s about the journey, not the destination. So sit back while we have some fun with Pauline talking about how to plan and prepare for this journey, what “the best things to do” are, suggested itineraries for the weeks ahead, and how to become a travel writer when this is all over. --&gt; JOIN me live for future events by joining the TripScout's Travel From Home Facebook Group --&gt; WATCH this interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sC1iGjArB40 Here's how you can follow Alison Levine:  Website:  frommers.com  Twitter: @frommers  Instagram: @frommers   And as always, I can be found at @gokonrad on Instagram and Twitter!

Pauline Frommer: A Travel Guide to Navigate These Times (LIVE EVENT)

As we’re stuck inside, our surroundings have taken on a familiar look, and there’s nothing that wanderlusters dislike more. We’re turning to renowned nature and adventure photographer Chris Burkard to help us change that.  During this #TravelFromHome Fireside Chat (conducted live on Earth Day), Chris will transport us to some of the most powerful landscapes on the planet, from high above Icelandic volcanoes to Russia’s majestic remote wilderness. We’ll explore the thrills and unpredictability of a career in outdoor photography, discover where Chris finds inspiration in everyday terrain, and learn how we all can transform our days in isolation into a period of creativity. --&gt; JOIN me live for future events b y joining the TripScout's Travel From Home Facebook Group --&gt; WATCH this interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5MNvZEpXIIk Here's how you can follow Chris Burkard:  Website:  chrisburkard.com Instagram: @chrisburkard At Glacier’s End: chrisburkard.squarespace.com/at-glaciers-end Under An Arctic Sky: https://amzn.to/2ACwYm9   And as always, I can be found at @gokonrad on Instagram and Twitter!

Alastair Humphreys

It’s unlikely that social media’s latest pushup or camera roll challenge will entertain you for more than a few fleeting minutes. While we stay at home, we’re all craving excitement now more than ever, and we have the perfect solution: the King of Adventure himself, Alastair Humphreys.  As someone who h=as cycled around the world, rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, ran across the Sahara Desert, walked across India, run the Marathon des Sables with a broken foot, and canoed 500 miles down the Yukon River, Alastair is drawn to the dangerous and dramatic. Isolation won’t stop his quest to seek out thrilling experiences—you just have to get creative with limited resources. This Fireside Chat is going to get interesting as we challenge Alastair to share his most imaginative ideas for how to #TravelFromHome and turn quarantine into a memorable grand adventure. --&gt; JOIN me live for future events by joining the TripScout's Travel From Home Facebook Group --&gt; WATCH this interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_ZS1SMFx91w Here's how you can follow Alison Levine:  Website:  https://alastairhumphreys.com/ Twitter: @Al_Humphreys Instagram: @al_humphreys Microadventures: https://amzn.to/3fGBhgn My Midsummer Morning: https://amzn.to/3cmfSHe  And as always, I can be found at @gokonrad on Instagram and Twitter!

Alison Levine: Learnings From The Worlds Most Extreme Places (LIVE EVENT)

As the toilet paper crisis gave rise to the quest to track down yeast, it became clear that stay-at-home orders motivated people to turn to cooking for comfort—and an escape. No one understands that connection more intimately than Andrew Zimmern, the legendary chef, traveler, and personality behind Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods, Andrew Zimmern’s Driven by Food, and What’s Eating America on MSNBC.  In this exciting #TravelFromHome Fireside Chat, we’ll discover other cultures through the lens of food and turn to Zimmern to answer the questions that are keeping you up at night. Why are we experiencing this magnetic attraction to the kitchen? Is this phenomenon only occurring stateside or are people in other countries baking more bread than flour mills can handle? Plus, we’ll get his expert take on how to treat our taste buds to new and exciting dishes using a limited pantry.  --&gt; JOIN me live for future events by joining the TripScout's Travel From Home Facebook Group --&gt; WATCH this interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pc4ikYAD438 Here's how you can follow Andrew Zimmern:  Website:  https://www.andrewzimmern.com Twitter: @andrewzimmern Instagram: @chefaz Save Restaurants: SaveRestaurants.com  And as always, I can be found at @gokonrad on Instagram and Twitter!
