Have you ever dreamed of leaving it all behind to travel the world? Matt Javit has been traveling the world full time after leaving the United States in February 2017, experiencing over 30 countries and 100 cities since making the difficult decision to leave his career at his peak to discover the beauty of the world. Before his departure, he had a high-achieving, beautiful life in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he was a top-performing sales executive for an international technology consulting company winning 5-straight international sales awards. He loved hanging out with his friends, spending quality time with his family, and making new connections in his vast network. But, he liked to travel and experience new adventures, so he and his wife decided to fulfill their dreams and pack their bags for a 2-3 year adventure around the world. In this episode of the Be Real Show, Matt and Travis open up the show discussing Matt’s inspiration behind his international travels with his wife. Plus, Matt describes how he chose the destinations; they didn’t take winter clothes, so they followed the sun for twenty-seven months. First, they would book the big trips to different continents; in between, they would figure out the logistics to get from country to country. Then, Matt explains how he started Passport Joy – he thinks career gaps will be much more familiar with the next generation. From traveling all around the world, Matt has made lifelong friendships. For instance, Chris Gayle, a world-famous cricket player, invited Matt to his birthday party in Jamaica. Stay tuned to hear Matt answer the top ten questions; Matt reveals the only book that he brought on his travels.

My co-host for this episode, Matt Javit, recently spent over two years traveling the world with his wife. Besides engaging in lots of 'world barbershop adventures', as he calls them, he discovered a new and deeper level of relationship with his main squeeze. So, what IS a 100/0 relationship, anyway...and what are the key tenets of a powerful, healthy one? Well, for starters it does NOT mean the guy gets run over like some kind of beta 'nice guy'. Not at all. You'll discover what both Matt and I have done right in our respective marriages from the very beginning, making sure the relationship was built on a firm foundation. What's the best way to evaluate whether or not you're going to get along with a woman long-term? How come so many couples can seem to fake their way through marriage? What happens to affect the equation once kids enter the picture? Is there a secret to spending SO much time together as a couple without getting sick of each other? All that, plus barber shops, sumo, basketball and much more in this unique episode.

Visiting Poland for the first time was educational, entertaining, and a bit heartbreaking. Krakow, Warsaw, and Auschwitz have a history that has been told around the world. Many movies have attempted to depict Polish life in the times of war and uprising. Walking the streets of these cities gave us a better sense of what had been and the bright future that lies ahead. Now Krakow and Warsaw are growing multicultural business hubs that are gaining the investment of global corporations. The pubs, restaurants, and nightlife are at the level of the other top European cities. In this podcast episode, we discuss why we really enjoyed our three weeks visiting Poland as well as 8 days in Bucharest, Romania, and why we think you should consider visiting these Eastern European locations in the very near future. Main Topics Covered: Discovering Poland’s Pride in Warsaw, Krakow, and Auschwitz Links Mentioned in the Episode: Books We Love - Discover the books we have read and enjoyed during and before our travels A great way to learn the history of Poland in an animated video. Be sure to watch all 3 parts We experienced exciting horse races at Derby Day in Warsaw at Tor Sluzewiec Beyonce and Jay-Z performed in Warsaw and the crowd was electric I played a poker tournament in Warsaw, Poland at Hit Casino Quantum Fitness in Warsaw, Poland was probably the best gym I have to seen since traveling Met with my long lost ‘cousin’ Natasha Dziewit (that is how you spell Javit in Polish). We stayed in the Jewish Quarters (Kazimierz) during our stay in Krakow, Poland. For the best walking tours in Warsaw, Krakow, and other cities in Poland be sure to use this company I would suggest (re)watching the award-winning movie Schindler's List before traveling to Krakow and Auschwitz The range of vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Warsaw and Krakow were more than we found anywhere else in the world. The Pearl Jam concert in Krakow was unbelievable! I attended a co-work space in Krakow for over a week, and it had everything I needed to be productive. Smalec is the lard and bacon spread that I tried while in Poland. The best pierogies in Krakow visit Pirozki U Vicenta in the Jewish District For online booking for Auschwitz and Birkenau use https://visit.auschwitz.org/ Old Town Bucharest, Romania has a wide range of pubs, restaurants, and nightlife Make sure you understand what to pack. Pack Less! Here is a great post on everything we packed in a single backpack. You can’t do everything when you travel. Be sure to listen to the Traveler’s Guilt podcast to understand that it’s okay to chill out.
