4. A Life of Travel with Derek Baron (AKA Wandering Earl) - Part 1

After graduating from college in 1999, Derek left home for what he expected to be a 3-month trip to Southeast Asia. Instead, he has been traveling the world non-stop since & has visited over 130 countries on 6 continents. He is the founder of the Wandering Earl.com travel blog & Wandering Earl Tours which offers a unique style of laid-back, small-group tours (that I highly recommend).



In this episode, Derek & I discuss:


•

• His first few days in Bangkok during pre-internet times


• His decision to travel indefinitely with just $1,500 to his name


• His journey from college grad to founder of Wandering Earl Tours


• His parents’ less than ideal reaction to his nomadic lifestyle


• Why he never gave up


• The travel lifestyle & his perspective on picture taking vs mine


• Travel blogging before it was a “thing”


• What he learned from his first Wandering Earl tour


• My amazing Wandering Earl tour to Romania


• His “it can be done” mentality


• My husband’s Wandering Earl trip to Iraq with Derek earlier this year


• The media’s version vs the truth




 






More adventures to come in Part 2!
