Today’s guest is one I had the pleasure of meeting in one of the many places he considers home, Bangkok. He took me to a cigar and whiskey bar in which they were projecting Buster Keaton on the brick wall and had a jazz singer in the corner. After a day spent on Khao San Road, and the backpacker scene there, this was a whole different side of Bangkok. The whole place felt a lot more New York than it did back alley Thailand. And that’s how where I got to know Scott Eddy, a former...

Adina Pease is a creative wanderer — her term, that I wish I thought of — and when she’s not documenting her travels in paint or film, through her company Dog on a Boat Studios, she’s running her new startup RambleGood, making and selling handmade travel goods for a good cause, products designed for the curious, the travelers, and those with an insatiable wanderlust for the world. Does that sound like you? Because I’m pretty sure that describes me. She’s worked with National Geographic,...

"Good people greatly outnumber nasty people, worldwide. There is a network that existed long before facebook, and it is the network of persons of good will, who will introduce and pass you to other persons of good will, such that you can take a friendly look around a town, a nation or the world, as you like. There is no similar network among nasty people, they are on their own, and if you know what is good for you, leave them alone." – Mike Spencer Bown 23 years of adventures spent...

Jacqueline Kehoe is a travel writer and the author behind The Strange and New, a name taken from a poem that ends with a couplet which I grabbed from her website: "...But they're always tired of the things that are and they want the strange and new."

In Jacqueline's words, those lines are meant "for those who have their traveling paint set in hand, who globe-trot to become, and who yearn for experiences...
