My name is Derick Fiedler, I’m a world traveler. When I backpack abroad I chose to stay in hostels, cheap lodging where one shares a room with multiple people of usually mixed gender. At first glance hostels come off as dirty, uncomfortable, and dangerous. If I tell an American I stay in hostels 9 times out of 10 they mention the horror movie “Hostel” and that’s about the only thing they know about them but there is a secret beauty underneath it all that deserves to be shared.

    Halle, Germany: Beers with Enno and jérôme

    Galápagos Islands, smuggled out of civil wars, racing cars, exploding deer, flying naked man, and drunk pilots ...i am a backpacker traveling the world. Although the things I do and see are incredible, it’s the people I meet and the stories they tell that by far surpass any other experience. I sit down with one of, if not the funniest and most interesting person I’ve ever met on the road. Enno’s life of traveling could fill up two more hours of podcasts. This is my first podcast and the end was cut off but it is still worth a listen! **warning: explicit language**
