“I travel solo but I don’t travel alone”

In this episode, Dean Kuchel of whereisdean talks about finding his community while traveling around the world, and how a nomad lifestyle is actually less about “travel” but more of just “going about his life” for him. He shares tips on being proactive and how you can meet people, and spark conversations.

We dive into mindset and mentality – how you should never operate from the position of fear and why saying “Yes” first can lead you to some of your best life experiences. We also talk about the change in life phrases and how covid has impacted various groups in different ways. Most importantly, we touch on “freedom” and what it can actually mean.
