Published: May 1, 2015, 10 a.m.

Nathaniel Boyle\xa0is the host of the\xa0Daily Travel Podcast\xa0where he goes into the deeper reasons and the essence of\xa0why we travel. He is\xa0an explorer addicted to\xa0new\xa0things, travel optimist, and frequent flyer mile collector who\u2019s circumnavigated the globe. He's\xa0been to thirty countries across five continents, lived and worked in New Zealand, rode the Transsiberian, stayed with nomads in Mongolia, jumped out of airplanes and swam with sharks. Even amidst all of the travel advice and guides out there already, he\xa0believes the authentic world is largely undiscovered. The only way to uncover the best experience is through chance discovery,\xa0by allowing yourself to get lost and let the stories happen to you.

He wants\xa0to inspire more people to step outside their comfort zone and become\xa0Explorers.

In this episode we talk about the genesis of the podcast and how he answered the call to adventure. We talk about his time working in New Zealand and how easy it was to get a work visa there. Then we talked about the beauty of bringing a guitar and how it helped him make friends and spontaneous things that can happen because of it. We talk about the beauty of Mongolia and how it is like the American West of the East. Finally we talk about the philosophical side of travel, how it can redefine your limits, and how it can make you a better person.
