I realize that I owe my podcast listeners a new show and I promise I have one in production – with special guest and my friend Gustav - wandering the world as The Modern Nomad.” Unfortunately the demand of work and life has devoured much of my time (and ambition) and I will finally post the show this week.
Gustav is traveling the world indefinitely and we met at Burning Man this year. He came to San Francisco and we had the fun and privilege of hosting him for several weeks. Here’s more:
My name is Gustav Andersson. After working a 9-5 job for five years, I realized that I was slowly stagnating into a comfortable routine — a personal nightmare of mine. So I quit my job, sold my flat and walked away from the well-trodden streets of London. Like the Phoenix, I rose out of the ashes of my old life as a (melodramatic) nomad!
The nomadic life is an experiment. Can you live a full life without a fixed address? Can you work and love as a nomad? Will you go mad living out of a backpack? Is the freedom of the road real or simply a mirage?
I would be honoured if you’d care to walk with me on this journey. I hope that my experiences on the road may inspire you in some way, and I sure could use the company!
If this sounds thrilling, check out my Mission Statement where I explain further the principles of my nomadic life.
And, did I say he’s Swedish, hot, handsome and gay?
But, please check out Gustav’s blog. It is nominated for two Bloggies: Best Travel Blog and Weblog of the Year! And head over there to vote for Gustav in these two categories and check out some of the other terrific blogs up for awards. Voting closes on Sunday, February 19.
Tune in for the show later this week and check out Gustav on Twitter.
And, here’s the Bloggie Awards voting site.
