Zero To Travel Podcast Jason Moore

Do you suffer from anxiety? How have the unknowns of the road hindered your travel plans? What role does stress play in your travel planning?
We are diving into mental health and how it affects your life choices and future plans with Gilad Gamliel from The Overthinker's Passport. He is very open in sharing his struggles with mental health issues as we talk about how he's learned to control them, the role travel plays in his journey, the balance between planning vs. spontaneity, and more.
Has your mental health ever prevented you from traveling? How has travel helped you overcome your anxiety? I'd love to hear about it, and I hope you will share by sending me an audio message.
*We're sharing previous episodes to highlight Mental Health Month! Zero To Travel episodes are timeless and provide valuable insight whenever you listen.

Harry Mitsidis is one of only three people to have visited every country in the world…TWICE! 
He is also the founder of NomadMania, an online community that inspires global explorers to venture beyond the ordinary and obvious to celebrate the world’s diversity. In this community, travelers track their progress across various lists and are ranked based on their travel accomplishments. 
Today, we talk about the potential moral and ethical issues surrounding this idea of systemized travel and ranking travelers and how (when used intentionally) it can create meaningful travel experiences. 
As someone who empowers people to get out, see the world, and spend quality time off the beaten track, we also have a bigger conversation around his unique perspectives on travel and what motivates him to continue exploring the world. Of course, there are plenty of destination recommendations (like the best place to be pleasantly surprised!) and insights into filling your life with travel.
What do you think of gamifying travel? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.

Have you ever encountered something while traveling that sparked a "crazy idea" or inspired you to make a change? 
For the past six months, Robbie, Ivo, Jasper, and Josh have created adventure videos in Kenya for their YouTube channel, and it quickly became apparent that the loss of tourism due to Covid-19 is hurting parks and conservancies throughout Africa. After interviewing rangers and uncovering the truth about reduced salaries and increased workload, the creators knew they had to act.
Learn how four young YouTubers decided to journey from Kenya to Cape Town in nothing but two tuk-tuks, all in the name of conservation. 
What is one thing you can do to create change within your community? I'd love to hear about it, and I hope you will share by sending me an audio message.

This is a human-powered adventure story not just because Daniel Troia traveled by bike…but because it was powered by the kindness of strangers.
Equipped with hidden camera glasses and a cardboard sign that said, "Ran out of food. Anything helps," Daniel spent seven months bicycling across the United States, listening to stories from the people who offered help. His travel documentary, “We Are All In This Together,” has garnered 15 awards at various film festivals and is being used to raise money for homeless shelters.
What did he learn from the experience? Find out today as Daniel recounts his adventure and the making of the film. 
You’ll hear why he felt uncomfortable nearly the entire trip, the unexpected people he met who changed his life, and the biggest lessons he learned about adversity, grief, togetherness, and humanity as a whole. You’ll get advice on long-distance biking, dealing with confrontations, and more.
What have your travels taught you about humanity? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
