Following ParalumanStuck in Latin America During the Start of the Pandemic feat. Pius DitachmairI've told this story time and time again. I was in Latin America when the pandemic hit, and it has been one of the most stressful moments in my life. However, it's always great to have a different perspective when it comes to stories like this. So for this episode, I've decided to invite one of my best pals, who also happened to be stuck in Latin America early in 2020, Pius Ditachmair.

100 Not Out100NO 425: How important is knowing your purpose in life?On the back of last week’s interview with centenarian Isabel Wallace, we talk about the importance of finding purpose in life.

Following ParalumanA Way Abroad feat. Kat SmithNowadays, cheap airfares and accessible travel is so prevalent, making moving abroad so much easier. Although, with the decision to become an expat or a digital nomad comes the question: how am I able to move abroad and/or is it actually possible?

She currently lives on the beach in Da Nang, Vietnam...2021-05-1337 min

Following ParalumanThe Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking feat. Steffen ThomsenNowadays, hitchhiking has both a positive and a negative connotation attached to it. In the age of cheap and accessible travel, who in their right minds would want to go wandering off to hitchhike? However, there is a certain kind of thrill and excitement that this mode of transportation has alongside it. No matter how many people say that they're against it, there are still travellers out there who are keen on doing this—Steffen Thomsen and myself included. In this episode, join Steffen and me as we dive into the stories of our hitchhiking jo...2021-04-1032 min

Following ParalumanDigital Nomad at Home feat. Lukas PekarcikToday, it's practically impossible to go in and out of most countries due to the border restrictions that have been implemented due to COVID-19. It really is the wisest thing to do since we wouldn't want to spread more viruses, but for digital nomads worldwide, this seems like such a nightmare. I've been a digital nomad for nearly five years now, and my life has revolved around flights, co-working spaces, and days filled with unexpected adventures. So it's been quite challenging to be experiencing the necessary restrictions that we've got to go through to stop the pandemic's...2021-03-2535 min

Following ParalumanWhy Cooking Food Whilst Travelling is as Important as Immersing Yourself in a Country's Local Cuisine feat.

Following ParalumanA Conversation feat. Acacia MitchellHello, friends! It's been a while since I did a conversation with a friend on this podcast series.

Following ParalumanWhy I'm Choosing to Stay Single in My Mid-TwentiesSinglehood. Ah, such a dreaded word. Honestly, whenever people ask me why I'm still single, I just feel like I'd rather crawl back into the earth than answer their question. Well, not really, but you do get the picture.

I'm really not one to explain myself nor my choices in life, but this is a topic that I feel like I should speak about. So here it is. Why I'm choosing to stay single in my mid-twenties? The reason is in the episode...2020-08-0528 min

By the time March came, I was already getting settled into my new home in Medellin, Colombia, but one unexpected thing happened: I got massively sick for two weeks.
