But that doesn't mean the right location is a one size fits all. In fact, it's the opposite. What's right for you might not be right for me - and vice versa.

Ever dreamed of living in Europe? Sipping cappucinos in the square of some Italian village or sunbathing on the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean or Adriatic?
It's possible - and, in fact, maybe even a lot more feasible, and affordable, than you think!
(especially with lots of new digital nomad visas popping up, which we discuss at length)
Jeff Opdyke has been to over 80 countries. He's lived in multiple countries in Europe. He's written for the Wall Street Journal for 17 years and is now the Global Investment Expert for International Living.
So...safe to say he knows a thing or two about living abroad and helping expats find the best place in Europe to live.
And surprise, surprise - he gets asked the question "Where's the best place to live in Europe and how do I do it?"
Hint: If it was one size fits all, this podcast wouldn't be over an hour!
But the best thing about Jeff is that he doesn't just give you some basic answer - instead, he gives you a variety of answers based on the situation that YOU are in and the type of life that you want to lead.
I've spent decades researching living in Europe, and I know quite a bit. Well, I thought I did. And then Jeff came on and dropped a ton of new knowledge on me.
Want to know the "Asheville of Europe?" Or what country is "if Greece and Switzerland had a baby?"
Don't miss this one!

It's like a resort...for ants.
(Just kidding. That's a Zoolander reference. I really hope someone got it and laughed).
So, what are micro resorts? Why do Jonas and I believe they are the best path forward for creating experiential hospitality?
And where are we currently building micro resorts (hint: one place is international, it starts with a B, and it's not the Bahamas - although I wouldn't be opposed to that down the road).

Ever dreamt of moving to a tropical country, beach breeze blowing through your hair, surrounded by lush vegetation, wildlife, and amazing surf?
("Uhhh, yea Trav, basically every day!")
Well great - then you're in luck.
Because 4 years ago, my great friend Erika Kennedy packed up her life in Canada, her husband, two kids, and mom and headed off for that dream lifestyle in Costa Rica.
And after living there for 4 years, she explains what it is ACTUALLY like to live that beachfront paradise lifestyle - the good, the bad, and the WTF - including some of the most random things you can't get there.
(oh, and she also renovated a decrepit mountaintop house, so she's really seen it all).
Enjoy this behind the scenes look at what life in Costa Rica is really like...and maybe you'll be packing your bags sooner rather than later.

In this new podcast, Trav sits down with his co-host Jonas to discuss the vision for their real estate "empire" - and why they believe experiential hospitality is the answer.
Learn how they define experiential hospitality, why they are doubling down on it, and why AirBnB's aren't dead (but a lot are on life support).
If you're interested in going on this journey with us, then you're in luck - we'll be releasing new EPOP Real Estate shows every week to give you a behind the scenes look as we go on a mission to create the most unique and boutique micro-resorts around the world.

J-Rob was 40, had a house, regular job, and had only been to two countries (one of which was the US). Oh, plus he was scared to travel.
But he did it anyway - and he started with a series of experiments (which he continues to this very day).
Here's how J-Rob went from non-traveler to world traveler in 5 years despite getting diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
Whether you're someone who hasn't traveled much but wants to or someone who's been around the world a bunch, J-Rob's story is not only inspiring but actionable.
And if you want even more guidance, pick up his book, The Beginner Traveler's Guide, which just released the all new 2nd edition.

So naturally, they started a podcast with their $25 walmart microphones and...
In this episode, they give all the juicy details about the journey (like who was willing to leave their job first), discuss their most underrated national parks (it'll surprise you) and even throw a famous national park under the bus (lovingly, of course).

Adam Schluter is a self-proclaimed "introvert who was scared of the world." So what did he? Booked a plane ticket to the cheapest place he could find (hint: it wasn't cheap once he landed!) and started saying hello to strangers.
Fast forward 9 years, and he's still doing it - while also figuring out how he can take the joy he feels while traveling and bring it back to his home in Idaho, which lead to him hosting Monday Night Dinners for 500(ish) people. Yes, 500 people. In a backyard. Of a small house.
Hear all about it and more in this episode...
And then, go say hi to a stranger.

Over the past 30 days, I've taken on a challenge - to try 9 new habits. Everything from doing a carnivore diet to 5 minutes of a daily somatic shake to "phone in foyer". What did I learn? Did I fail at some of them? (hint: yes). Are some life-changing?
Find out in today's show - and do me a favor:
If you liked (or didn't like) this more personal, behind the scenes style show, let me know. I'm looking for your honest feedback as I experiment with different styles of shows so that I can create what you want to hear!
