21 years a nomad: What's changed since 2003?

Benny dives into how travel has changed over his 21 years as a digital nomad. Reflecting on his early travels in the 2000s, Benny shares how meeting people and finding affordable accommodation used to be easier, with tools like Orkut and Couchsurfing at their prime, and the days of finding hidden gems through newspaper ads. Today, platforms like Airbnb have driven up prices, and connecting with others on the road has become more challenging.

Despite the changes, Benny remains optimistic, encouraging listeners to venture off the beaten path to rediscover the authenticity of travel. This episode is full of personal stories and practical insights from someone who has seen the world evolve. Tune in to hear how Benny balances the highs and lows of modern travel.
