The Amateur Traveler talks to Lisa Lubin of LLWorldTour about her round the world trip which extended from a year to a two and a half year odyssey and a nomadic lifestyle.
Lisa talks about her trip but also talks about the various jobs she worked along the way.
Why would an Emmy winning TV producer want to work in a coffee shop in Australia, teach English in Germany, become a research assistant in Germany, and do PR for a company in Spain?

What an interesting and enlightening episode. While traveling in Croatia last year, I met a couple of kids teaching English for a semister in a small French town. It was interesting to hear how an experienced person created her own path.
Since international traveling is becoming more expensive, you may want to continue focusing on US destinations or uncommon US destinations.
Thank for your efforts.

Very interesting episode… my favorite quote from the show was Lisa saying the world is a small place and nothing is as daunting for her to approach now. Her adventures sound like it would make a great movie! 🙂

I loved her post! It’s so true that you’ll burn out if you travel for that long without really stopping to absorb the culture. Loved her “learning about Melbourne waitressing lingo” to be a good barista. Sounds like a fun skit.
I discovered your podcast about 2 months ago and eagerly await the next episode. Can’t wait to hear the one you’re going to do on Laos!
Note to travelers: Careful not to leave your wallet a the bottom of a waterfall there though when you go climbing, it can get snitched! Keep you valuables ON you person. 😉

“Novel… being a little celebrity… its a constant rush… in real life you don’t meet so many people, so often”. Lisa Lubin has a really great perspective which I identify with with. If people could experience the type of thrill she’s describing we’d all be better for it. Its a recipe for joy.
