Those Who Wander

Ivan the Intrepid
Those Who Wander

This is a collection of conversations I had with travelers and locals back in 2016 and 2017. The goal was to capture the interesting lives and thought provoking discussions that manifest when two souls intersect in a foreign place. I never got around to editing these, but the recent death of a dear friend and one of my interviewees was the catalyst for putting them out there as is: messy and imperfect. I hope my guests enjoy looking back on who they were at this time in their lives. David Simmons, I dedicate this series to your memory and your love of travel. Rest in peace my brother.

    E12 Tom Cornish

    I interviewed Tom because it was immediately clear that he was a brother in arms when it came to travel styles and desires. Tom is a big Aussie who is actually now my boss and colleague on various tuktuk and travel related ventures. Tom was one of the cofounders of tuktukrental.com and spent a lot of time working for a social venture in the slums of India. He has a fascinating perspective on life and travel and I was excited to pick his brain on these topics and learn about his experience starting a business in Sri Lanka.  Notes: Why are you in Sri Lanka? Creating documentary in India about traveling environmentally responsibly, riding bikes and had an accident that caused injury to film-making partner, rented 16-year-old Tuk Tuk, and fell in love with Tuk Tuks. Visited Sri Lanka after India and thought it was a better place to start a business. Importance of social business Tuk Tuk mafia Struggles setting up a foreign business in Sri Lanka Language barrier (biggest barrier), understanding the system, getting the right information Perception around Tuk Tuks being a vehicle for the lower class 52:45 Tom’s experience in the slums of India 1:07 India has magic 1:11 Eco-friendly traveling Using reusable water bottles, changing culture - plastic, eating meat 1:17 Specific goal in India Zero carbon, sustainable tourist, opportunities to make change 1:19 Eco-friendly traveling tips Don’t go to the big hotel chains, large restaurant chains; transport: bus, train, boat instead of planes; support locals; consider your impact on local economy: drugs, alcohol 1:23 Vegetarianism Eats on basis of carbon emissions, not wasting food Mentioned The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey Pollinate Energy - social business Tom worked for in India TED Talk - The Way We Think About Charity is Dead Wrong specific to nonprofit sector, overhead ratio Vipassana Meditation www.tuktukrental.com Instagram @tuktukrental FB Tuk Tuk Rental
