Summary

What does it mean to create a life of travel? This episode dives into the story of loyal listener and world traveler Joe Esten, whose journey started when he traveled to Namibia for the Peace Corps in 2015. What Joe didn't realize at the time was how his experiences were helping him manifest his future travels, working for Norwegian Cruise Lines and teaching English in China.
