The Radio Vagabond

Apart from my regular travel episodes, I put out these interviews as bonus episodes whenever I meet an interesting traveler. And today is no exception. With a view of a beautiful bay from my balcony in Antigua - and a close drink within reach, I sit down with Tom Grond. Calling himself Travel TomTom, he has been a full-time traveler since 2012, and like me, he wants to visit all the countries in t...

In this episode I go for a walk in Conakry and meet more expats.

I met Dane and Stacey on a recent prestrip to Antigua in the Caribbean. They are full-time travelers, digital nomads, and produce travel videos from their journey.  We have a chat about how they travel, where they've been, and what it's like traveling as a couple and being together 24-7. Enjoy.    LINKS:  Sponsor  Hotels25.com   DanegerAndStacey.com Daneger & Stacey på YouTube See pictures on  The...

Friends told me that going overland into Guinea could easily get me held up by the police for no other reason than they wanted a bribe. So they recommended that I went all the way back to Dakar in Senegal and take a flight to Conakry.  They also said that they didn't really like the country. Would I have a different experience? I met some of the locals, and in this first of two episodes from Conak...

Guinea-Bissau is one of the poorest countries in Africa – and hereby the world. I travel with minibus from Cap Skirring to the capital Bissau, and by random coincidence my host is a countryman. In fact there are many Danish doctors and scientists living and working in Bissau.  They work with Bandim Health Project. It's a health and demographic surveillance system site situated here in Guinea-Bissa...

What it's like to be a white westerner here.  I'll talk to my Belgium hosts at the place I ended up staying, and then I meet a young gay Gambian man, who works as a boy toy for elderly white women - and he shows me a picture of himself that I wish I never saw.  LINKS:  Sponsor  Hotels25.c...

I've been to Senegal before, but that was in Dakar in the northern part of the country. After a week in The Gambia in the middle of Senegal I'm heading further south to the beach town, Cap Skirring in the southern part of the country. Before I leave Banjul, I talk to the Polish hostel-owner, Marek about how he ended up right here after years as a full-time traveler.  On the trip down to Cap Skirri...

We got the opportunity to spend a few days at Mandina River Lodges, the most amazing place in the middle of the forest around half an hours drive from the small capital of The Gambia, Banjul. Mandina River Lodges is founded by two Englishmen, Lawrence Williams, and James English. Lawrence is a friend of a friend of mine - and also an avid traveler with an exciting story. Unfortunately, Lawrence wa...

In last weeks episode, we were making our way down through The Sahara Dessert. And our plans kept changing. Partly because of me recovering from my pneumonia and partly because promises weren't kept. We weren't picked up and driven down to the capital of Mauritania in a nice big Mercedes - just the two of us. Hours later we were seven people in a smaller very old beat up Peugeot station wagon.   W...

I can see that new listeners are joining me every week. Welcome.  To let you catch up, I've dine a quick bonus episode where I explain how and why I made a decision to become a digital nomad and full-time traveler at the age of 50 years old.  I also let you know what you can expect in this podcast in the future.  Enjoy - and again: Welcome.

In this episode, I speak with Mokhtar, who has grown up as a true nomad in the Sahara Desert. Just until he became a teenager, he was almost nothing but his family, a bunch of goats and a lot of sand — no TV, radio or other things that we take for granted. Also, he does not know when he was born beyond the fact that it was in 1962 and it was under a sandstorm. I'm talking with him just before we'r...

We have a lot to cover in this episode. I'm in the southern part of Morocco and first we visit the little city, Tiznit. Edvard and I become good friends with the local butcher, Omar.  Them we travel further south to another small city called Tan-Tan. On the way there we're stopped twice, first by the customs and then by the police. Both times they only want to see the passports from me and Edvard....

And then Edvard gets a henna-tattoo and is not happy.    Enjoy this episode.   LINKS: Sponsor  Hotels25.com See pictures on  TheRadioVagabond.com   You ca...

As a digital nomad, this guy is different than most of us, as you will get to hear in this episode.    Also, he is one of the nicest guys I've had the pleasure of getting to know through the Nomad Cruise.    His name is Martin Locklear, he's American, and he works for Zip Recruiter as a programmer.     We both have a few things in storage back home, we have both been traveling full time around two...

In this episode I am still in Rabat, Morocco and continue the hunt for visas.  It can be hard to get a taxi on the streets in Rabat, so on Monday morning we booked an Uber, even though Uber technically is illegal here in Morocco.  And the first Uber driver was a young bright guy with a good English. He had a lot of dreams for for himself and his country, and seemed like a good representative for t...

DANISH:   RadioVagabond.dk     Johannes Voelkner started his digital nomad lifestyle in 2010.

He took action – he was organizing events for entrepreneurs and digital nomads for years and created a Facebook group for digital nomads called Global Digital Nomad Network (...

DANISH:   Radiovagabond.dk   Here is another conversation with a full-time traveller, and this guy is quite a character with an interesting story.    His name is Greg, but he goes by the name of Curtin.

Even big ones.    In this episode, you can hear how he ended up in Europe playing rugby, which is not so typical for an Am...
