On a mission to touch lives through travel, Krysten Kaladkarin is journeying to hike and hitchhike the world while uplifting the communities she meets along the way.
Adventuring solo, unassisted, and with her weak passport, Krysten amplifies the realities of travel, from the cultural aspects and societal struggles of the places she visits to the inequalities she faces as a digital nomad from a developing nation.
She currently runs Krysten Kaladkarin, a social impact travel blog that focuses on solo travel, digital nomad life, and ways to adventure sustainably and ethically. Her platform also has a giving community, which has collected contributions for various causes such as the war in Ukraine and the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan.
Combining her love for travel with her many advocacies, Krysten has found a way to pass on the kindness she has received by the people who have welcomed her in their homes, hearts, and in her hitchhikes.

My guest today is Jason Robinson. Jason didn’t see his 3rd country until age 40, and over a few years did some super methodical experiments to push his comfort zone. He decided to go nomadic, then 8 months later COVID hit...and eight months after that he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, an auto-immune disease that requires constant attention. But that's not stopping him...

In late 2021, she quit her high-profile corporate remote job in social media to take a career break from traditional full-time employment — to regain her time, mental energy, and creativity — to work on her upcoming memoir and other creative pursuits — and fully enjoy her travels and nomadic lifestyle without constraints.

Get ready to be inspired by my guest Cindy Sheahan!
In 2017, Cindy realized she wasn't getting any younger, the time was right and, "if not now, when?" so she quit her perfectly good job, packed a backpack and headed out the door alone to explore.
Five plus years later, she's been to 38 countries - mostly solo - such as Turkey, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Georgia, France, Italy and North Macedonia. She's visited over 400 cities and towns, countless hostels and homestays, hikes and treks all over the world including the Portuguese Camino.
Along the way she's flown in a hot air balloon over Cappadocia Turkey, was a caretaker at a haunted villa in Tuscany, paraglided over burial sites in Madagascar, worked in a vineyard in New Zealand...and met a French paraglider on Tinder while in Nepal trekking, with whom she's traveled to 6 continents. Cindy moved to Portugal in October of 2022 and is living in Porto...for now.
She's written for a women's travel group called She Hit Refresh, been featured in The Points Guy and the New York Times, and has been a panelist on a Digital Nomad online summit, and just recently, as a "Move to Portugal" expert in an online seminar by International Living. She has 4 amazing grown kids and one grandson, with another grandbaby on the way - they all live in Colorado and support, admire and join her when able to - and they are her biggest cheerleaders in this crazy adventure.

My guest today Amanda Maughmer never intentionally planned on traveling to Antarctica for work, but when she was laid off from her previously role, the US Antarctic Program was eager to bring her on as a Business Process Analyst. She looked at the processes for various departments and used the knowledge of the staff in those areas, making the processes automated, streamlined, more efficient, etc. She deployed to McMurdo Station for about a month to examine processes and pain points happening on "the ice".
We also discuss life in Antarctica and the variety of contract roles they hire for annually. Ever wanted to visit Antarctica as an employee and not a tourist? You can't miss this episode!
