b'I had no idea how it would evolve, I just went all in and I had no expectations, and I think that\\u2019s the best way to do it.\\nIn this week\\u2019s Nion highlight, I want to introduce you to a friend of mine that I met in Antarctica last year, Mark Van Der Heijden. When we met in Antarctica, Mark was doing a really cool project called The Backpacker Intern. For two years, Mark traveled around the world trading his copywriting skills for room & board. He got to see so many incredible places and has some amazing stories.\\n\\nIf you\\u2019re a creative and want to travel more, Mark has some great advice. Plus he has just launched a new company called Wanderbrief that allows anyone to do what he did. I love this concept because, as you know, I\\u2019m a huge fan of travel and of interning, and combining these two things to adventure around the world while gaining work experience is such an incredible idea.\\n\\nListen in to hear how Mark started his journey, how he ended up in Antarctica where we met, and why you have to think less and do more.\\nYou can always keep fighting and hustling.\\n\\nSome things we learn in this podcast:\\n\\n \\tHow Mark came up with The Backpacker Intern [4:30]\\n \\tThe value of personal projects [3:20]\\n \\tWhy you should live in the moment [8:15]\\n \\tThe importance of networking [10:15]\\n \\tHow Mark ended up in Antarctica [18:30]\\n \\tWhy you have to think less and do more [21:45]\\n \\tWhat is Wanderbrief [22:05]\\n \\tWhy he values cross-cultural exchange [26:40]\\n \\tHow to stay positive [27:45]\\n\\nLinks mentioned:\\n\\n \\tCheck out The Backpacker Intern\\n \\tLearn more about Wanderbrief and sign up\\n \\tWatch Mark\\u2019s Ted\\xa0talk\\n \\tMusic Credit: Rainbow by FEWZ\\n\\nConnect\\xa0with \\xa0Instagram\\xa0|\\xa0Twitter\\xa0|\\xa0Website'
