Today's guest on the Travel Punks Podcast is Tys Sniffens, founder of Idea Mountain and inventor of The Journey Travel Packing System. From a yert on his off-the-grid compound, Tys flips the script and starts interviewing me as we discuss dance-shoe shopping, losing my luggage between Berlin and Stockholm, and the ingenious backpack-within-a-backpack modular design of the Journey, the only luggage a seasoned traveler really needs. You can buy the Journey Travel Packing System at ideamountain.com.

Today’s guest on the Travel Punks Podcast is Lisa Szkatulski, author of Faithful Nomad: Seven Rules for Finding Your Path … When There Is No Destination. We talk about the most impactful country she ever visited, why job benefits are bullshit, and how incurring $115,000 worth of medical bills before the age of 35 changed her outlook on life.
