    Traveling, unschooling, and entrepreneurship with Nikolaj Astrup

    In this episode, I talk to Nikolaj Astrup Madsen who is one of the most inspiring people I know. I've followed Nikolaj for almost 20 years, and I have become friends with him over the past few years. Nikolaj and his wife Michelle live a very unconventional life with lots of travel and adventure. The conversation ranges from entrepreneurship, unschooling, travel, and much more. Links Nikolaj on XTraveling VillageRevillageNikolaj's BlogClick here to watch a video of this episode.
