Show Notes
Vagabonding is a seminal travel book. The author, Rolf Potts, made people realize that they don't need to settle for just two weeks a vacation every year. Rolf shows you how you can travel for two months per year or even travel nonstop for two years!
In this podcast, Rolf and I discuss:
- How we both got drunk at an early age.
- How did he get into hiking and rock climbing?
- How does he stay in shape while traveling?
- What's more lucrative: writing books or writing articles?
- What's his Souvenir book all about?
- What's the difference between souvenirs and photography.
I recorded this one-hour conversation in 2018 when I was still in Cameroon. Rolf, who is from Kansas, was in New York at the time.
Rolf hosts the Deviate podcast.
