In this episode of the Expat Empire Podcast, we will be hearing from Travis King. Travis followed the standard life path to grad school in the US until he was 27 years old when he realized he had never made a decision for his life, only for his resume. He soon bought a one-way ticket to South America and traveled around the world for over 9 years. Though the pandemic changed his travel plans, he has been living in Mexico with his partner, building businesses, and taking on new projects over the last two years.
Travis has covered most of the world in his travels and serves as a guide to new adventurers at hostels and in his work. Listen to this episode to hear more about his adventures and get inspired to start making some of your own!
