The Environmental Impact of Wool and the Quest for Connection While Traveling
This chapter explores the environmental effects of wool production and the speakers' shift away from promoting wool due to its high greenhouse gas emissions. The discussion also includes personal anecdotes about the increasing trend of travelers obtaining marriage visas while abroad.
Jason Moore, the Creator and Host of Zero to Travel, joins us from his studio in Norway to have a candid chat about how his nomadic lifestyle led to entrepreneurship and leaving the U.S. to live in Europe full-time.
He shares eye-opening lessons from his transition to a location independent lifestyle, his decade-long journey in podcasting, and starting a family abroad.
What are the challenges of assimilating into a new culture? How does your identity change when you move abroad? How is Norwegian culture different from American culture?
Tune in to hear Jason’s insights and advice on an international lifestyle and adapting to different cultures.
