Everything is OK, and I'm EXACTLY Where I Need to be Rigth Now (A Podcast)

My name is Steb, and I love to travel. I'm an inherent nomad who just refuses to stay put. A free spirit who refuses to do anything less than live life to the fullest.

There are many reasons I love travel, but the greatest of these reasons is the amount of perspective that traveling can give. Each person you meet on your journey has a unique story to tell. Every person has their own set of lessons and skills that they can pass on. From those lessons and skills you can learn and grow. I want nothing more than to grow and grow and grow until I've become the best human I can possibly be.

That said, this should have been the worst trip of my life. I initially chose to come to Central America for an 18 day gathering in the jungles of Panama. On the second day, I lost my wallet in the ocean. On the seventeenth day, my passport was stolen along with my phone and my money. I should have gone home but I chose instead to stay in Central America.

Here I am, four months later, still in Central America. What was supposed to be an 18 day vacation has turned into what is nothing short of a life changing whirlwind of events. I ran out of money multiple times, I slept on beaches for over a month, and I can't tell you how many times I've gone without eating (or survived on nothing but rice and beans), but I'm still here. I'm still traveling. I'm learning more about myself than I ever thought possible. I'm stronger now than I ever was. I'm a better person now than I ever was. The trials and triibulations of this trip should have made me want to quit, but instead I perservered, and now I'm better than I ever have been before.

This is just the synopsis of my trip. The more layers of the onion I unravel the more enthralling and inspring this story becomes.

I want my friends and family back home to hear my story, but it's hard for me to convey every single detail via text in messages and on social media.

This gave me the idea for this podcast. Here's the premise:

I know I'm far from the only traveler with a story to tell, so I want to interview other travelers that I have barely met. Part of the podcast will be spent getting to know each other. The interviewee will first tell their story, and then I'll tell mine. We'll be telling each other our stories for the first time, so our friends and family back home can hear our stories from our own mouths as if we are telling it to them for the very first time.

I hope that my story inspires others, and I hope that I am inspired by some of the stories I hear. I hope to have meaningful experiences with these people. I want to grow and help others grow.

If you like the premise and would like to see the show become a realitry, send me a message, and I can link you to the Go Fund Me page.

Thanks everyone,
Steb
