I am excited to introduce to you two partners of the Extraordinary Travel Festival, Matt Bowles and Ian Cumming. Matt is a 10 year plus digital nomad, who hosts the very successful as well as a real estate investment company. Matt can be found around the globe setting up shop in cities as diverse as Nairobi, Lagos or Luanda. I am pleased to announce that Matt will be one of the speakers at the ETF. You can connect with him here on . Ian Cumming is the founder of Travel Massive, a global networking platform for people who work in travel or are passionate travelers. There are scores of chapters around the globe hosting events or meet people on the network whether they be entrepreneurs or content creators. Travel Massive is also hosting our meetup on Thursday, November 14. . I believe there are 3 main pillars of why you might want to consider attending the ETF, this November in Bangkok. First is the destination. Maybe BKK might seem too common. Well as a resident I would posit that this city offers so much beyond the Grand Palace, the Skybar and riding a tuktuk. This is a true onion; you can keep peeling back more and more layers and keep on exploring. Maybe you are missing some NM regions in Thailand, maybe a funicular or the new UNESCO site, Si Thep. Or you missed Laos or Brunei on your last visit. There are cheap flights to everywhere in ASEASN. Or maybe catch a direct flight to Bangladesh, Bhutan or Kazakhstan. There is so much to see here! Second, is the content. We have an incredible lineup of speakers. More will be announced. Please take a moment to look at the speakers on the ETF website. Everyone from Thor Pedersen who went to every country without flying, or Renee Bruns who has explored over 130 countries in a wheelchair, or the Sultan Randy Williams, who invented his own country. And last up, is the community, the network of extreme travelers whether you are Chasing 193 or maybe enjoy Iraq more than Italy. Then you have found your tribe. We have some great events to share a drink and conversation with your fellow travelers …. Friday night will be a great party with music, Saturday will be the gala dinner, and, don't leave early, we will be hosting the NomadMania Awards live in Bangkok on Sunday. And we added in another meetup on Thursday evening, November 14th to check in with fellow attendees before the event officially kicks off on Friday morning. The host of our meetup is . So think of Bangkok as the hub for the event. A hub with great infrastructure at great prices. The spokes are everywhere in Thailand or the region you can visit easily. Don't get FOMO, come join the 170 plus who have already committed. And how many more will sign up in the next 3 months. Should be a lot of people! Feel free to go to the website, use code to save, and join us in Krung Thep this November. If you have questions, reach out to me on SM, contact form on the website, or anywhere else. Please listen in and enjoy. And check out the last episode on . Extraordinary Travel Festival II Update #8

Днес на гости ни е Мария Стоянова - пръвата дама, гост на нашия подкаст. За нея можем да кажем много - травъл блогър, content мениджър и chapter leader в Travel Massive и съосновател на Асоциацията на травъл блогърите в България. Днес си говорим за пътуванията като източник не само на вълнения и приключения, но и на доходи. Мария е доказателство, че травъл блогингът не е просто витиевата мечта, а може да е занимание, с което човек не само да храни душата си, но и да се издържа. През 2013 г. тя стартира блога Travelling Buzz, който три години по-късно вече е един от препоръчваните блогове за пътешествия от Trivago и днес намира място в над 15 световни класации и списъци на най-добрите травъл блогове. Тя е член на Международната асоциация на блогърите и един от основателите на Асоциацията на травъл блогърите в България, чиято цел е да свързва тях, травъл блогърите, със собствениците на онлайн медии за пътуване. Как се става успешен блогър? Има ли потенциал България да се превърне в "следващото голямо нещо" на туристическата карта? Има ли бъдеще за травъл блогърите в България? На тези и на много други въпроси, ще намерим отговор заедно с Мария. Слушайте ни!

Travis sits down with traveler, social media strategist and community builder Nicolette Orlemans. Intro: Background + community origin story Topic 1: What was it like growing up? How did you get started? I grew up in a bilingual household in the Netherlands with a Polish mom and a Dutch dad. My parents inspired wanderlust in me as a child, as we traveled often (they started traveling with me when I was a baby). In 2000, we moved to the US for my dad's work, and started expat life. Travel has always been something I feel grateful to be able to do, and I really enjoy connecting with others who travel. It's endlessly fascinating to me that, as people, we go to similar destinations, but have vastly different, unique experiences. That's the beauty of travel and exploring local culture in our own way. I love being able to talk to others about their travels and experiences. Topic 2: Let's talk about what community means to you. To me, community means a place where people can talk freely. It's a space where people share stories, become inspired, feel supported, share advice, ask questions, and rely on each other's feedback. I don't think community has to be a homogenous thing–meaning that people can have differences in opinion and perspectives–but it should be a place where people feel comfortable talking to each other no matter the differences. Topic 3: Let's talk about the different tribes that you support. Who are the members? Why does this circle exist and what is your mission? How do you work together to achieve your mission? I especially love connecting with travelers, no matter how often they travel. Travelers tend to be very open-minded, and share interesting perspectives on not just the destinations they visit, but also on how they personally grow from visiting different places and learning from diverse cultures. In 2014, I started participating more in Twitter chats, online real-time conversations happening over a unified hashtag at set dates/times. Twitter chats allow people to connect with others, and share their perspectives. As people respond with the associated hashtag, others can connect with them and ask questions or start conversations. On November 13, 2014, I launched my very own travel Twitter chat focused on the intersection of culture and travel. I aspired to create conversations among people about cultural immersion, and what helps people get to know local culture on a deeper level. Today, the chat is still happening every Thursday and connecting travelers worldwide in shared conversations. Since the launch of the chat, I've expanded into a community website, a Facebook group, and hosted in-person meetups to bring travelers together. In October 2018, I launched a Kickstarter for Travel Banter, a conversation starter card game inspired by the online conversations my community has had over the years. It's the “real life” version of the Twitter chats and helps bring people in a fun, meaningful way offline to have conversations around culture and travel. Topic 4: What are a few lessons you've learned from your journey in the online community space? As technology changes, we should embrace that. Technology is constantly evolving and new platforms pop up, though people crave real conversations no matter the platform. Behind every social media profile is a real person. What excites this person? What stories does this person have to share? How do we connect to each other on a deeper level? I think it's important to inspire storytelling both online and offline. We can't forget that storytelling is at the core of everything we do. We connect with people over shared experiences, and by learning from each other. We hear stories that we can relate to, and we feel inspired to share our own stories. Topic 5: What community if any do you look up to, and why? There are a few in the travel space that I really admire. Travel Massive brings travel industry...
