Welcome to the second of the seven episodes with conversations with seven experienced digital nomads. In this one we dive into the concept of travel pace for digital nomads, exploring fast and slow travel styles. Throughout the discussion, the benefits and challenges of fast and slow travel are explored. Fast travel is described as an exhilarating experience, filled with adrenaline and the thrill of exploration. On the other hand, slow travel is likened to savouring a fine wine, allowing for deeper immersion in a place and the formation of connections. The guests also touch on the personal experiences and challenges they have faced with fast travel. They discuss the exhaustion of constantly finding new places to live, navigating unfamiliar environments, and making decisions on the go. They emphasize that slow travel allows for a better balance between work and exploration, as well as a deeper understanding and appreciation of the local culture. Ultimately, the discussion showcases the varying travel paces of digital nomads and highlights the importance of finding the right balance between fast and slow travel. The episode provides valuable insights for digital nomads seeking to achieve a more fulfilling and sustainable travel lifestyle. The conversations made me reflect on my own travel pace as a digital nomad, sharing the number of places I've visited in 2022 and the average length of stay in each location.   LINKS: Visit Jason Robinson's Nomad Experiment travel blog to learn about the digital nomad lifestyle and share your own experiences.

I'm always open to listener feedback on Far From Home, and I heard from someone recently who's given me a new perspective on one of my past stories and forced me to see things in a new light, so I wanted to share it with all of my listeners. Several years ago on the show, I featured a series of stories about Lucho, a traditional medicine man from Peru who describes himself as a "curandero," or someone who heals. Using medicinal herbs, archaeological relics, and hallucinogenic plants, he claims to have rid himself of diabetes and his father of cancer. He regularly travels around his country treating people with all sorts of ailments. In part one of my series, I joined Lucho as he embarked on a journey up the coast, searching for a star-shaped stone with supposed magical powers that he saw in a vision. Then I accompanied him to a healing ceremony in a shantytown on the outskirts of Lima where he served participants a hallucinogenic brew called ayahuasca. I'd originally planned on simply observing and documenting the event, but once I was there, I decided to take Lucho up on his offer to consume a small amount of the potion myself to understand what the experience was like for everyone else. It didn't seem to have much of an effect on me, however, and I wondered in the story whether I might be somehow immune. In a bonus episode, I also shared the story of my friend Dennis, who similarly tried ayahuasca during his visit to Peru and felt like it didn't live up to his expectations. But after chatting recently with Nora Dunn, I've realized that perhaps my takeaways from my experience as well as my presentation of the topic might not have been entirely fair. Nora's been traveling the world as a digital nomad for the past 17 years, blogging as The Professional Hobo, and she also spent several years working with shamans in Ecuador and Peru. On this episode, I revisit my previous reporting and get Nora's insights on what I might have gotten wrong. ————- On Far From Home, award-winning public radio journalist Scott Gurian documents fascinating stories from far-flung places like Iran, Chernobyl, and Mongolia.

 At this time of year we may all be dreaming of exotic destinations - but for Nora Dunn travel is a way of life. Her almost 17 years on the road have taken her to some incredible places, and you definitely need to check out her website and socials if you're getting itchy feet. But the most important thing is that Nora has figured out how to do all of this while balancing the budget - adapting her destinations, lifestyle, and activities, to ensure she can do everything she wants, without overspending or debt.So if you've ever contemplated the digital nomad lifestyle but considered it out of reach, or have no idea how to really live like a local and not a tourist whatever your destination, you'll find Nora's advice invaluable. From technical tricks to mindset shifts, every freelancer will learn something new from the Professional Hobo...Just remember to send us a virtual postcard, wherever you end up!Keep in touch with Nora at:https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/freegift/https://www.theprofessionalhobo.comhttps://www.youtube.com/NoraDunnhttps://www.facebook.com/TheProfessionalHobohttps://twitter.com/hobonora https://www.instagram.com/theprofessionalhobo/

A traveling badass that knows what she wants AND she's a hobo.Meet Nora Dunn, since the age of 9 she knew she wanted to make travel her lifestyle. It took a lot of career shifts (and burning out) to find her life of travel and now, as a professional hobo, she's been traveling full time for 12 years. 

I'm thrilled to be partnering with Joe Pulizzi and Brian Clark on their inaugural CEX (Creator Economy Expo), May 2-4 at the Arizona Grand Resort in Phoenix, AZ. During the month of April, I'll have several of their keynote speakers on the show, where I'll get to know them a little better and also tease them to share some "alpha" on their upcoming talk. Kicking it off with Nora Dunn, the Professional Hobo. In this episode, we have a wonderful conversation on digital nomads, remote working, dancing with a 10-foot sandwich and Ayahuasca! P.S. the connection gets a little wonky around the 33-44m mark, but it's worth sticking around for! ...but wait, there's more: if you register for the event (https://cex.events/) with code JAFFE or NOTFAMOUS, you'll get $200 off your fee PLUS two unique, experiential bonuses: 1. A walk on appearance on a live taping of my show on either May 3 or 4 (feel free to plug anything you want!) 2. Private drinks meet up with me (on me) at the event. The event is going to be awesome! Besides just getting together IRL and meeting up with so many people we've only interacted with virtually, the speaker lineup includes the one and only Ann Handley, Dan Pink, Jeremiah Owyang, Roberto Blake, Brian Fanzo and many more!

She has authored multiple books about international travel including “Tales of Trains” where she travelled 42,000 kilometres through 11 countries over 44 days and is an expert of how to pay nothing for accommodations and travel the world rent-free.   Over the course of several years, Nora Dunn with her company, The Professional Hobo, experimented with many different forms of remote work: volunteerism, freelance writing, teaching & tutoring, and building an online business.   By 2008 Nora Dunn had crafted an all-new career, earning enough money on the road with The Professional Hobo that she no longer needed to rely on savings.
