Zero To Travel Podcast Jason Moore

Ever wish you could just slow down? Long-time digital nomad and founder of Wandering Earl Tours, Derek "Earl" Baron, joins me to talk about the best countries to settle in and spend quality time.
Derek set off for his first trip in December 1999 and has traveled the world nonstop since. Having visited over 100 countries and spent nearly 8,000 days on the road (at the time of this interview), he has the unique perspective of someone who has spent over two decades living, working, and building relationships abroad. 
Derek shares how to find the right place to spend quality time, tips for finding good housing abroad, the best country to make friends, advice for building relationships on the road, and so much more.
Where was the last place you spent quality time? I'd love to hear about your experience, and I hope you will share by sending me an audio message.
