The Travel Addict

Malcolm Teasdale (aka The Travel Addict)

After traveling on business for 30 years, what was I going to do after I sold my company in 2013? Answer: Travel more, but to the off-the-beaten-track and obscure places on planet Earth. After visiting almost 100 countries and living in 5 countries, I officially became a Travel Addict. Today, I am contracted by various Cruise Lines to perform enrichment and educational lectures to passengers on various journeys around the World. A podcast or two will be published from time to time when I am back in

Working as a Banker and a Travel Agent made a good combination for Linda King. She is now an expert on advising people how to save money by traveling.Travel well without the cost is a good motto.This also applies to International travel, where many people just assume that it has to be more expensive to take a trip out of the country rather than stay in a hotel or rent a home on the beach close to home. In addition, there are many ways to earn "points" on airlines and hotel programs, but

What do you do when you don't enjoy school or college?Get out of town. Start hitchhiking. Pick up jobs wherever you can. Work for free. Sleep on a beach. It sounds a bit crazy, but I don't think Scott will look back on his life and have any regrets. Listen to his story about leaving home at an early age to discover more about America and elsewhere in the world. Obviously an educational experience in one sense, but courageous and maybe reckless in another. These days, he runs the Synaptics

After visiting Vientiane in Laos a few years before for an enjoyable experience, it was time to take a trip to Luang Prabang, where the Nam Khan and Mekong Rivers meet. Historically, it was the Royal Capital of the country until 1975 and it's know for many Buddhist temples.It became a UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1995 for its well preserve architecture.I found the place to be very enjoyable and it gave me a feeling of being "off-the-beaten-path".Walking or biking, there is much to

Let's get the history out of the way. The country became independent from Yugoslavia in 1992.Ljubljana, Slovenia may be unknown to many people, but if you have been there, you will know that it is a very enjoyable place to visit for a few days, especially the Old Town.Aside from the city's "hard to pronounce" name, it is full of pleasant surprises. Spotlessly clean, very safe, welcoming, and lots of character are good assets. Personally, I felt quite chilled out there.Enjoy St

Sometimes you just have to look back at your life and relive an experience.With Ukraine and Russia recently being in the news, my Moscow experience back in 1991 vividly came back to me.A few of us might remember the time when the Soviet Union collapsed and Mikhail Gorbachev's reign came to an end. Now it is Russia that includes the great city of Moscow.I was in Moscow during the final days of the Soviet Union's existence in December, 1991, which was an unbelievable time in our World's

Maybe there is an underlying science in the management of parking lots to make them efficient and profitable.The reason this became "a thing" with me is due to an experience I encountered at Atlanta Airport, the World's busiest.This episode of stupidity is documented in my book "Travel Diaries of an Atypical Businessman - Unfiltered".I am pretty sure many of you have experienced something similar or bizarre as this, but based on the fact that I tried my best to be efficient

I like these types of Podcasts. Honest, fun and educational. Peter shares his knowledge and experience gained from teaching overseas and being a Digital Nomad. Personally, I wish I had known about teaching overseas when I was in my 20's. It would have been a serious consideration.The great thing about temporarily living in another country, is an appreciation of how people live and work in other areas of the world. While Peter was teaching, he was learning things himself.Travel is without doubt

Tom helps businesses succeed, especially when they consider expanding into international markets.Although our discussion is primarily about business, we spend time comparing notes about international travel, which apart from being a fulfilling experience, exposes various incidences which we can reflect on with an element of education and humor.In an attempt to "fit in" with the locals in foreign lands, there are culture adjustments and mannerisms to consider, which instils a feeling of

A lot of people asked the question, "why?" when I mentioned I was visiting the Ukraine. My answer was a prompt "why not?" It became independent from Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. There of course is plenty of influence in the city from the Soviet days.As I was in Moscow during the final week of the Soviet Union's existence, I was amazed at the architecture in the city and I thought Kiev might be just as dramatic. I was not disappointed.There was a language

When material things and wealth do not become the most important thing in a person's life, but rather the need to help other people, even if just for a few months, is very commendable. Amy and her husband were living comfortably in a NYC apartment but decided to sell all of their belongings and buy a one-way ticket to Ghana to volunteer at a breast cancer non-profit facility.Covid came along and they ended up being stuck in Ghana for 7 months.

You may not be aware that Krakow, Poland is extremely significant in our history, but not necessarily in a good way.The Auschwitz camps are located about an hour's drive from the city and if we cast our minds back to WWII from the 1940's, it represents one of the most reprehensible times in the last century.This is one time you will need to book an organized tour, as doing it yourself will not provide you with the full story of what happened in those dark days.It is a long day, especially

To many, the thought of traveling anywhere these days is too problematic to even consider. Add to that, traveling overseas presents additional anxiety in the worry that you may not have the correct requirements fulfilled for your destination. This of course could be a problem after spending your hard earned money on a plane ticket and then getting turned away by immigration in a foreign country or even worse, being forced to undergo quarantine.I took on an itinerary recently that took me to the
