Jason of @thenomadEXP cleared a heroic amount of debt, changed his career, went nomadic, and then was diagnosed with diabetes. That's a lot to deal with! Here's how it shook out. buff.ly/31yzqrs

I bought a new travel towel this week. I...like every single other backpacker I've ever roomed with...was overdue. 🤣🤷‍♂️ #budgettravel #backpacker #TravelTuesday #truthbomb

"Can I tell you something cheesy? Working in hostels people come and go so often. It's nice seeing you here...it makes me feel like I'm seeing family..." - Kind words from the manager of the hostel I've now stayed at three different stints here in Lisbon.❤️ #hostel #budgettravel

Is it ironic or just laughably sad when you spell "intellectual" wrong in a proposal? (Asking for a friend.) #doh #whoops #funny #mistakes #SmallBusinessSaturday
Not sure what was better, the lights out Nepalese food I just had in Faro, Portugal, or the sweetest smile and laugh ever when I went to pay and tried to say "it was very good, thank you" in Nepali to the woman who served it. ❤️ #trying #humans #travelfood #solo
As someone who loves cooking and a well equiped kitchen, I die a little bit inside every time I'm in a hostel kitchen and watch someone take a hot pan straight from the stove to murder it under a cold faucet... #kitchen #terrible #hostel #hostellife
Working on my Portugal travel medical insurance, stumbled on this little ditty... "A WHO ranking of global healthcare systems places Portugal at 12, below France (one), Italy (two), and Spain (seven), ...with the United States at number 37 on a scale that evaluates 191 countries.
Getting around longer distances in Europe is typically much cheaper and with more options than similar journeys/distances in the US. Here are some down and dirty tips to help you get stoked for your next Europe trip... #Travel #TravelTuesday #traveltips youtu.be/2eZgPbPv-5c
My craziest travel story so far...
Replying to @nomadicmatt
Mexico city. Guy staying in the hostel doing parkour on 4th floor roof and broke the 2ftx4ft slab off he grabbed, falling to the third floor. Slab fell on his bare foot and his toes were pointing towards 5 different parts of Mexico... His travel med ins ran out three days prior.
Make lemonade. Locked myself out of the house I'm sitting and homeowners are due back tonight, so take the rest of the day off for lunch and a matinee...and then a storm knocks the power out mid movie. Now what!? #nomad #problemsolving #stormy #flexible #freeday #nomadland
