I’m a big fan of Chris Guillebeau, the author of The Art of Non-Conformity blog. I found his blog a few years ago and was jealous of impressed by his visit-every-country-in-the-world project.
After attending his first book tour stop in Durham in 2010, I was elated to find a group of people who didn’t think it was at all weird to want to spend a couple years traveling around the world or live in an RV or start an online business.
On a whim I purchased two tickets to Chris’ little meet-up in Portland, OR last summer (otherwise known as the World Domination Summit). There, I met even more awesome people from around the world who think and do things differently. I loved it.
At WDS I got a chance to chat with Chris before his travel hacking session. I don’t remember exactly what we talked about, but I know that he mentioned living abroad as a kid and that he probably wouldn’t be doing what he’s doing now had he not had that experience.
Being the intercultural educator that I am, I was intrigued by his statement. A few months later, I asked if he’d be game to do a short interview about his experience living abroad as a child. He was, and the 12-minute podcast below is my interview with Chris. Enjoy!
(The interview got me thinking…and I’m now gearing up for a new project…more on that soon!)
