More than 20 years later, Derek is still on that trip. In 2009, Derek started his travel blog and it's now developed into a thriving tour company: Wandering Earl Tours Derek's life as a digital nomad has allowed him to become 'location independent'.

My guest today is Derek Baron, the creator of the popular travel website called “Wandering Earl”. On December 25th, 1999, Derek left the USA for a three-month, post-graduation trip to Southeast Asia. The idea was for him to backpack around Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and then return home and start a career in the sports industry (He wanted to be a Sports Agent). When Derek landed in Bangkok, he had $1500 USD to his name and that was it. Since then, he has visited over 100 countries on 6 continents and has lived, worked, traveled and volunteered all over the world. He has been to India thirty times and was even kidnapped by inept kidnappers for three days in Bangladesh (and yes, he shares that story). He visited and stayed three days in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and visited the Galapagos Islands among many more. Derek worked also worked as a Tour Manager aboard cruise ships and I asked him to recount a tour-from-hell story and boy...did he deliver! This very funny story involves Mount Kilimanjaro. Why is that funny you ask? Well, the excursion was in Hawaii, for one, but I'll let Derek tell that tale. It's not just the traveling that Derek loves, as he prefers to focus on the human interactions and the life lessons learned along the way. These incredible aspects of travel are what keep Derek Baron going after 18+ years traveling the world. Please check out his travel blog website and his social media listed below.

Earl (Derek) graduated college and immediately headed to southeast Asia for a trip. One night at the Angkor Wat he decided he didn't want to go home, so he didn't. 20 years later Earl has created a very successful and written about blog, created a travel company, and been to over 100 countries. He's a legend in the travel community and has an interesting story. If you'd like to travel with him you can on his numerous trips to off the beaten path destinations.

Today on the podcast I'm joined by Derek Baron, creator and author of the travel blog, Wandering Earl. . This was a conversation that I was looking forward to. As Derek has been traveling for a very long time! He first headed to southeast Asia in 1999 and has been traveling full-time ever since. As of the recording of this episode, he has now been to 116 countries! . In Derek's early days of traveling, things were different. As he didn't have many of the resources that are available now; such as booking sites and blogs. Therefore, he found that talking to people and asking for help was the best way to get around. This led to many opportunities for him to travel and work abroad. Including; teaching English in Thailand, working for various cruise liners, and ultimately starting his blog. . In this episode Derek shares some of his amazing stories from two decades of full-time travel. He talks about some of the amazing highlights, as well as a couple of crazy misadventures! We also discuss some of the life lessons that he's learned along the way; such as the value of talking to people and asking for help. How everyone is the same no matter where they're from. And why you should just get started with things that you want to pursue in your life. .

He’s visited over 103 countries and travels full time while running his travel blog, WanderingEarl.com, and his tour company, Wandering Earl Tours, along the way. On this episode, we discuss why he started traveling, his favorite destinations, and how he started Wandering Earl and Wandering Earl Tours.

This story is bloody insane. Earl of WanderingEarl.com NEEDS to make this into a film.

Wandering Earl has been traveling the world since 1999 and started with just $1500 in his pocket.  Now he's one of the biggest travel bloggers in the world, is a successful affiliate marketer, and started his own tour company.     Being a digital nomad isn't easy.  How does one afford a life of constant travel?    Listen in for tips on blogging, writing, being authentic, creating good travel habits, and making money online.  Wandering Earl also shares some crazy stories like the time he got kidnapped in Bangladesh.  

In this Episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Earl Derek Baron of WanderingEarl.com. Earl has been traveling for more than 15 years and simply knows the subject of long term travel better than anyone I have ever met. Read more about Earl's insights in this article: http://becomenomad.com/a-life-of-constant-travel/

This episode features Derek Earl Baron also known as Earl of Wandering Earl. He started travelling in 1999 in Southeast Asia and his trip hasn’t ended since. Earl travelled to search for the education that only travel taught. He had little interest in the sights that a country can offer but on the interactions and the lessons learned along the way. In this episode, he spoke about how he was able to sustain this lifestyle and the types of work he’s done along the way. He also gave tips on how he went out of his comfort zone and talked to random strangers he met just to learn and gather ideas and advice on travelling. He also shared his experiences in finding ways to earn money while travelling.   When I asked him what he’d do if he started from scratch he said cruise ships! That’s a different response than I was expecting. He also shared his experience being kidnapped, being questioned if he was a part of some terrorist group when he arrived in the US from Afghanistan and Pakistan. He also shares some travel hacks about packing and other things, and answers some more questions about travel and people. You can learn a lot of creative stuff on how to fund your travelling, and also some hacks on travelling on his website: http://www.wanderingearl.com/; his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WanderingEarl; and his twitter: https://twitter.com/wanderingearl/.   Get in touch with me over on my website: http://travislongmorephotography.com.au/ on Twitter or Facebook!

In 1999, Earl Baron graduated college and took what was supposed to be a 3-month trip to Asia. Today, that trip has yet to end. It was within a week that he discovered a new version of himself, meeting people, all the new experiences, and everything he was learning every day. He knew he couldn't go home to a career that could ever be as rewarding to him as these experiences. Sitting on a stone wall during a festival at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, sitting on a stone wall watching an amazing world unfold before him, he knew right then he could never stop traveling. He’s been to 87 countries and on 6 continents, using his ingenuity to afford to keep on the road and gain an online following through his blog The Wandering Earl, where he writes to help people learn how they can do the same, while championing a "New breed of explorer." I really wanted to have Derek on the show because of his  message about travel, exploration, choosing to live an adventurous life of travel, and not letting anything be an excuse, whether it’s money, time, fear, difficulty, or expectations. All the things that stop us from living a life of travel and choosing adventure. He wants to prove to his companions that much of what we think about the world can be misunderstood. What he says about travel is that in every destination the vast majority of people in any destination are like you and me — they’re warm, friendly, they want to make money and support their family, and live happily. Today, he takes travelers to places like Iraq, or more specifically Iraqi Kurdistan, where he shows them a wonderful place to go that most don’t ever notice on a map. On this trip, you start in the capital of Erbil (or Arbil) and then head into villages in the mountains and canyons to meet the people, see the castles, palaces, and experience the surprisingly international population hidden between Erbil and Baghdad. If you love what Earl has to say in this session, you can check out and book Earl's tours here. Earl is skyping in from the lobby of his hotel in Delhi, India. Words from an Explorer: "As daunting as it seems, as far fetched, to live a lifestyle of travel it can happen if you really put the effort into it." Tweet this! What you'll learn: How it's okay to leave a dream career track for a life of travel. What sorts of travel are out there Ways to find work on the road, like teaching English and working on cruise ships, to support your travels The most underused form of employment while traveling Why he takes people to places that challenge their preconceived notions. The Currency of Pad Thai The Wandering Earl's Iraqi Kurdistan Go to challenge your perception of Iraq and expose yourself to Kurdistan and its varied culture. Start in the vibrant, citadel community of Erbil. Take in the warm people going about their lives. Check out the signs that point towards Baghdad. Then on to Duhok, to spend time in the mountains with Syrian villagers, and anyone you might run into. See the waterfalls, castles, palaces and canyon. Head down to Sulaymaniyah, the culture capital of Kurdistan, for the food, art, and expressive culture. The Wandering Earl's Best Travel Advice The First Step: If you don't know someone who's traveling, find anyone online and email them. Travelers are very friendly and hopeful, and they'll give you new answers you wouldn't expect. Money Saving Tip: The Currency of Pad Thai. Every time you spend $1 at home, that's a plate of pad thai in Thailand. Would you rather have $60 sneakers, or 60 plates of Pad Thai. Would you rather have the shoes, or more than a week's worth of accommodation in India? This is an addictive money saving strategy. Cheapest Airfare: Set an airfare goal, be flexible, never give up. Favorite Travel Book: Anything by Bill Bryson gets Earl pumped up to keep traveling.
