Earlier this year, people everywhere faced restrictions as lockdowns went into effect around the world. For most of us, we met these challenges from cities we call home.
Justin Poore isn't like most of us.
Justin's spent the last three years of his life living out of a suitcase, documenting his travels on YouTube, and building a following of over 18K subscribers in the process. Since starting this journey, he's embedded himself in over fifty different cultures, living like a local for a month each time.
This January, Justin and a handful of his nomad buddies—like-minded folks whose lifestyle similarly revolves around travel—headed to Cape Town with plans to stay for six months. But as COVID-19 grew into a global crisis, everyone decided to head back home and weather out the pandemic from somewhere more familiar.
Everyone except Justin.
On this week's episode, Justin shares what made him decide to stay put in Cape Town (the answer isn't what you'd think) and how his career as a freelance animator has given him the freedom to live a life of adventure for three straight years.
