  • Summary

  • Travel stories, humor, music, purpose. Twenty years ago, Jay Schneider strapped on an overstuffed backpack and headed off to wander around South East Asia and the Indian sub-continent with a goal of traveling until the money ran out. In Season 1, Jay remembers, relives and reflects upon this journey, reading journal entries and e-mail updates he sent to friends and family. Much like his time on the road, this podcast journey takes Jay to unexpected places, as he unpacks (unpacks--see what we did there?) what it means to explore the world, be open to misadventure and maintain a traveler's mindset, even when not traveling. In Seasons 2 and beyond, Jay talks with other globe-trekking adventurers to hear their stories of travel asking them Where, When, How, and--most importantly--Why they travel. Presented by Honey Roasted T-Shirts: https://www.honeyroastedtshirts.com Season 1 countries: Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan, Nepal and India.

    In this episode, Jay heads to Chiang Mai and finally meets back up with Justin and Dan, just in time for songkran--the biggest, baddest water fight he's ever seen.

He also snubs actor Matt Dillon, a move he deeply regrets all these years later.
