Summary

J-Rob was 40, had a house, regular job, and had only been to two countries (one of which was the US). Oh, plus he was scared to travel. But he did it anyway - and he started with a series of experiments (which he continues to this very day).Here's how J-Rob went from non-traveler to world traveler in 5 years despite getting diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Whether you're someone who hasn't traveled much but wants to or someone who's been around the world a bunch, J-Rob's story is not only inspiring but actionable. And if you want even more guidance, pick up his book, The Beginner Traveler's Guide, which just released the all new 2nd edition. You can find it at www.thenomadexperiment.com

0:00.0	Hello, Travel Nerds and welcome to the Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast.
0:04.7	I'm your host, Travis Sherry, and with me today is someone who has coined one of my favorite life mantras,
0:10.4	who I have the good fortune of seeing in person at least once a year.
0:13.7	Ideally more, ideally more.
0:15.4	And he's got a really, really awesome Jeep.
0:17.1	My good buddy, Jason Robinson, author of The Beginner Travelers Guide, now in its
0:22.1	second edition right here. Got myself a copy. It says not for resale, so you all can't have it.
0:27.9	Jay Rob, welcome to the show, buddy. Glad to be back. I love hearing that intro. Oh, yeah. It's been
0:32.6	four years, hopefully not since you heard the intro, because maybe you've listened to the podcast, but four
0:36.4	years since we've had you on. And long overdue to really talk about your journey because one of the
0:43.8	things that I love about the opportunity to get to chat with you, whether it's on the podcast
0:48.3	or whether it's you and I get in the chat in person or over WhatsApp voice memos, however it is,
0:53.3	is just the continued growth that you've had.
0:57.1	I would say as a traveler, but I think that sells it short.
1:00.0	It's really just a continued growth that I've seen in you in the now eight, nine,
1:04.8	10 years that we've been friends.
1:06.3	But one of the big things has been this idea of travel.
1:09.3	So if people didn't listen to the show four
1:11.9	years ago, we're going to get into why you felt the need to write this beginner traveler's
1:18.9	guide. I think it's very poignant, your reasoning for writing it. And also, especially as we were
1:23.9	talking about right before I started, we started the show here, winging in this day and age as well.
1:28.6	So I'm excited to dive into that and talk about what's new in this second edition.
