Today, I am continuing my conversation with Chris Backe from One Weird Globe. We discuss how failing fast helped him find what he wanted to do as a digital nomad. He also talks about his unique approach to helping his clients, the multiple income sources that fund his travels, and how he earns money from his blog. He also gives us an honest take on full-time travel blogging and shares his experience in self-publishing.   To find links to the resources mentioned in today's episode, visit www.livingunconventionally.com/156 To join the Living Unconventionally Facebook Group, just visit www.livingunconventionally.com/Facebook If you would like to support the Living Unconventionally Podcast, visit www.livingunconventionally.com/patreon to become a patron of the show on Patreon.

He also provides some "pro tips" for people considering teaching English in Korea, where to go in Thailand if you want to get away from tourists, and what to keep in mind when packing for fast travels.   To find links to the resources mentioned in today's episode, visit www.livingunconventionally.com/155  To join the Living Unconventionally Facebook Group, just visit www.livingunconventionally.com/Facebook  If you would like to support the Living Unconventionally Podcast, visit www.livingunconventionally.com/patreon to become a patron of the show on Patreon.

When you think about traveling to Peru, you most likely think about Machu Pichu in the Andes. But today's guest, Chris Backe, wants you to think about visiting the ruins and historical sites in Northern Peru for your next "where else to go" vacation. Chris is the blogger behind One Weird Globe, which explores the world's offbeat and bizarre destinations, and is the publisher of Choose a Way books, the tap-your-own-adventure guidebooks to real-life destinations. He's been seen in Atlas Obscura, Mental Floss, the Daily Mail, and dozens of other publications. Chris and his wife, a fellow traveler from Canada, have spent time living in Peru, and he shares what we've been missing in northern Peru. Chris says that northern Peru features an array of authentic, ancient, and well-preserved ruins from both pre-Inca and Inca civilizations. Machu Picchu, for all the attention it receives, ends up putting many worthy places in a big shadow. Offerings like the Huaca de la Luna (the temple of the moon) and Chan Chan (a UNESCO World Heritage) in Trujillo make for a pleasant stay – and having a beach town in Huanchaco only 20 minutes away is a nice bonus as well. Kuelap Fortress, one of the biggest stone fortresses remaining in the world, is located near Chachapoyas and is one of the most easily approached ruins in Peru. Chris has written about some of the other historical sites in this blog post. If you're ready for something more exotic, a few towns in Peru have "witches markets", selling potions and ingredients that look like they belong in a witches potion! There's also the Guinea pig breeding tour in Puno, the Museo del Cerebro (Brain Museum) in Lima, and a spectacular museum of 100+ cars (in photo above), an easy taxi ride from Lima. Besides his blog, you'll find Chris on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. If you’re enjoying these podcasts, please take a minute to subscribe on iTunes.

Chris Backe left Kentucky for Korea, where he lived in Seoul and taught English as a way to create for himself an opportunity to make travel a bigger, more regular part of his day-to-day. Last year, he and his wife moved to Thailand -where they’ve been bouncing between cities and exploring as much as they can of a very popular country. But to make things interesting, Chris has this fascination with the WEIRD things he encounters on his  travels and he covers the beat of weird across Asia on his blog, One Weird Globe. In this session, we'll discuss why he’s choosing a life of travel, and how he does it — which includes what it took for him to get a job teaching English in Korea and manage his own classroom of children in a foreign country — along with what 'weird' means to him and his relationship to it, and how travel can help us redefine and become comfortable with the weirdness in all of us.  So, if weird’s your thing, let’s get weird. What We Cover: Chris left his job teaching computer classes at a library to teach english in Korea before eventually wanting even more, which led him to Thailand Good skills and experience to have to get your ESL certification and a job teaching English overseas How teaching English overseas can be a great way to teach English overseas How Chris got into weird things and how his definition of weird has changed by exposing him to increasingly weird things.
