Pablo Mandado talks about his experience growing up in the Aragon region of Spain, how a trip to Greece changed everything and led to a life of long-term travel, and how he quickly transitioned into a spontaneous, hyper-minimalist and hyper-budget travel style. He reflects on negotiating trust and reciprocity when hitch-hiking and couch surfing. Pablo then shares an uncomfortable moment while hitchhiking, as well as a surprising moment of connection, and some incredible stories from his month in Laos. He then talks about meeting his girlfriend in Latvia and embarking on a 5 year cycling journey to circumnavigate the globe together. Pablo explains the value of of a loosely planned trip rooted in spontaneous decisions and how he was able to live on just 3 Euros a day for 5 years. Next, he tells incredible stories of getting caught in a massive snowstorm in Turkey, the heartwarming hospitality he found in Iran, avoiding the secret police in Uzbekistan, and what it was like to cycle across mainland China. Pablo also talks about his photography journey and how he was able to turn that into a business. Finally, he reflects on the
unique benefits of traveling the world by bicycle, the re-acclimation
experience after the trip, how the journey shaped his relationship, and the
lasting impact of long-term, hyper-minimalist, spontaneous travel on him as a person. FULL SHOW NOTES WITH DIRECT LINKS TO EVERYTHING DISCUSSED ARE AVAILABLE HERE.
