Review of 2017 with a look of what may be to come in 2018

Review of 2017 with a look of what may be to come in 2018

Author: travelwisdompodcast@gmail.com (Ladan Jiracek) January 31, 2018 Duration: 12:28

2017 was a very interesting year for me! After coming back from being deported to Russia in late 2016 I ended up moving in with an awesome girl. Actually, I only stayed with her half of the time to make sure that I wouldn't have visa problems. So I did odd jobs around Europe and bounced around to prevent border control from getting mad at me!

So during 2017 I lived in England, worked in France, Ukraine and Slovakia, and travelled to Norway, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Czech Republic, Iceland, visiting family in the US before going to India! So many places but many were out of necessity! 

Anyways, 2018 will probably have more nomadic times because my girlfriend had quit her job in late 2017 to follow her dream of travelling for 6 months in South Asia. I, of course, would accompany her since I had already been there. After that we might do a documentary in the US before settling there and working in a lab.

I hope the travel wisdom will continue and I will always be ready with a backpack in hand with many more interesting people to talk to!

Note, this episode was recorded in November, almost 3 months ago, but I think it is still pretty valid.


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.
