I moved to Florida, started my career, and other new things

Author: travelwisdompodcast@gmail.com (Ladan Jiracek) May 16, 2018 Duration: 8:33

Since I last gave updates on things in my life it has been about 6 months (since I recorded the episode, not since I published it).

Lots has happened!

I have now gotten a job and moved to Gainesville, Florida. It is a cool project designing injectable brain implants and I am very happy. It was almost 2 years since I finished my Masters in Germany and it has been a hell of a time finding a job I would be happy in. I am already thinking that I could spend a few years here even though I was skeptical at first.

I had broken up with my girlfriend and that has weighed heavily on my heart. I had never been so heartbroken and am hoping that we will get back together someday. I think it may have been for the best because this way we can both follow our dreams before getting back together.

Otherwise it is a big transition going from being on the move all the time and living out of one backpack to settling down. I can now get 10 backpacks worth of stuff!!


The Travel Wisdom Podcast explores the profound, lasting value hidden within our journeys. This isn't just about destinations; it's about how the languages we stumble through, the cultures we briefly inhabit, and the people we meet far from home fundamentally shape who we are and how we see the world. Host Ladan Jiracek draws from personal experience across more than eighty countries, examining how travel plants seeds of practical and personal wisdom that can grow into unexpected opportunities, deeper understanding, and even professional success. Each episode delves into the tangible lessons learned from foreign concepts, business practices, and social customs, arguing that the world is the most dynamic classroom available. Listeners will hear specific stories and reflections on turning global exposure into a tool for personal growth, improved communication, and a more nuanced approach to life and money. The podcast moves beyond the simple romance of wandering to consider how these experiences compile into a unique form of education, one that challenges assumptions and builds a resilient, adaptable mindset for navigating an interconnected world.
