Rolf Potts on Vagabonding, Souvenirs, and Getting Drunk at 5

Vagabonding is a seminal travel book. The author, Rolf Potts, made people realize that they don't need to settle for just two weeks a vacation every year. Rolf shows you how you can travel for two months per year or even travel nonstop for two years! In this podcast, Rolf and I discuss: How we both got drunk at an early age. How did he get into hiking and rock climbing? How does he stay in shape while traveling? What's more lucrative: writing books or writing articles? What's his Souvenir book all about? What's the difference between souvenirs and photography. I recorded this one-hour conversation in 2018 when I was still in Cameroon. Rolf, who is from Kansas, was in New York at the time. Rolf hosts the Deviate podcast. Sponsored by Health Access Sumbawa This show was sponsored by Health Access Sumbawa.
