Lynn Gilmartin: Australian Presenter and Traveler

August 12, 2013 by Dave1 Comment

We first stumbled upon Lynn's travel videos inadvertently while doing research for another interview. Poker, International travels, well being - yes, this looks like a great lifestyle! We thank Lynn for taking time out of her busy schedule to do this interview - at the time of this interview, she was actually in the process of moving to Los Angeles from Melbourne Australia. Q. What (or who) was your initial motivation to initially start … [Read more...]

Erden Eruç: Global Circumnavigater and Adventurer

August 2, 2013 by Dave1 Comment

Recently we stumbled upon adventurer Erden Eruç through the great social connector, Twitter. His story appeals to all on a number of levels. He first came up with the idea to circumnavigate the globe under human power in 1997. It was an idea but he never pursued it at the time. Then in 2002, tragically he lost his friend and global adventurer Göran Kropp while rock climbing together and Erden was inspired to do something in his honor while … [Read more...]

Yung Chang: Writer & Director

July 16, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

I have enjoyed fruit for as long as I can remember. My early childhood memories involve visiting Asian markets with my father - scouring the shelves for mostly canned fruit in the absence of the real thing. Over time this changed - demand increased within these communities and USA agricultural laws changed to allow the import of a wider variety of fruits. In the last 4-5 years where I live - depending on the time of year, you can now find fairly … [Read more...]

Patrick Smith: Airline Pilot and Author

May 22, 2013 by Dave2 Comments

For those who travel often for business or pleasure - airports and planes are an integral part of our lives. Entire online communities have been formed around the airplane - FlyerTalk is the perfect example of this. When I was offered a chance to review a new book about air travel, "Cockpit Confidential" I jumped at the opportunity. For the better part of the past few weeks this book has been a constant companion in a number of airports during my … [Read more...]

Adam Shepard: Author and Speaker

April 20, 2013 by Dave2 Comments

Adam first reached out to us a few weeks ago in anticipation of the release of his second book, "One Life Lived". This story is an interesting one - detailing his unique adventures, cultural immersions and introspection about a year round the world trip. Adam's first book was about how he randomly moved to a city in the USA by pulling a name out of a hat - arriving with $25, a sleeping bag and the clothes on his back. The challenge was to … [Read more...]

Lisa Niver: RTW Traveler

April 16, 2013 by Dave3 Comments

I first met Lisa a number of years ago at an event in Los Angeles. Her unbridled enthusiasm for International travel is truly contagious. Few people are lucky to go on one Round the World Trip (RTW) in a lifetime; Lisa has been privileged to experience two RTW trips and in fact at the time of this original interview, was currently in the midst of her 2nd RTW trip. The circumstances around receiving this interview were somewhat convoluted (as … [Read more...]

Doug Lansky: Travel Writer + Speaker

February 26, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

We first heard about Doug's travel adventures a number of years ago through his "Signspotting" website and later his book. This unique ongoing project highlights humorous and engaging signs from around the world. He even has a cool widget which you can embed on other websites displaying any new signs uploaded to his own site. Doug is a busy guy and certainly not one to stand still. He is involved in a number of projects that would make those with … [Read more...]

Charles Duncombe: Founder, Holidaysplease

November 28, 2012 by DaveLeave a Comment

Recently we had a chance to ask Charles about some of his travels (he has been all over the world) and what went into starting his successful travel company, Holidaysplease. Q. What is your background and when did you first become interested in International travel? Despite being brought up in a small village in the UK I managed to experience international travel from an early age. I used to get driven down to the south of France with my … [Read more...]

Ed Stafford: Adventurer

October 29, 2012 by Dave10 Comments

For more than 2 years Ed walked from western Peru to eastern Brazil - locating the source of the Amazon high in the Andes and then following the entire length of this great river to where it empties in the Atlantic Ocean. What a story! Recently we had a chance to ask Ed about his adventures and this epic trek. Q. Tell us a bit about yourself and where you are from. My name is Ed Stafford. I'm an ex-British Army captain who has spent the … [Read more...]

Savannah Grace: Author & Traveler

October 9, 2012 by Dave6 Comments

From 2005 through 2009 Savannah traveled the world with her family. We recently came across her book and were fascinated by her travels, details from the road and depth of writing. Recently we had the opportunity to ask her a number of questions about her travels, first book and upcoming plans.   Q. Tell us a little about yourself and how you first decided to write "Sihpromatum, I Grew My Boobs in China". My name is Savannah … [Read more...]
