Author: Travis Sherry April 22, 2025 Duration: 59:48
J-Rob was 40, had a house, regular job, and had only been to two countries (one of which was the US).  Oh, plus he was scared to travel. But he did it anyway - and he started with a series of experiments (which he continues to this very day).Here's how J-Rob went from non-traveler to world traveler in 5 years despite getting diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Whether you're someone who hasn't traveled much but wants to or someone who's been around the world a bunch, J-Rob's story is not only inspiring but actionable. And if you want even more guidance, pick up his book, The Beginner Traveler's Guide, which just released the all new 2nd edition.   You can find it at www.thenomadexperiment.com
