Overland Travel 101, the Pros and Cons of Full-Time Travel, and Favorite Hidden Gem Destinations (After 10 Years as a Nomad) With Eric Highland

Zero To Travel Podcast

Considering an overland travel adventure or have another dream you want to achieve, whether in work or travel? Eric Highland, his wife Brittany, and son Caspian are driving around the world in a Jeep. They have been traveling full-time since 2014, and their son, born in 2016, has lived his entire life on the road.

Eric shares his insights and recommendations for overlanding and vehicle-based adventure travel, including common myths, costs, and travel must-haves to make your life easier. We also have a broader conversation around the pros and cons of full-time travel, what is required to pursue your dreams, how to balance work with travel, his experience having a child on the road, and his top three destination recommendations.

You’ll gain insights into achieving sustainable and long-term success in your business, creating a healthy and fulfilling travel lifestyle, test-driving the overland travel experience, and more.

Have you figured out the costs of achieving your dreams? I'd love to hear what they are, and I hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
