What does it really take to build a life around travel?
In this episode of The Radio Vagabond, I sit down in Bangkok with two travel content creators who've each taken very different paths – Matt Bowles and Phil Marcus.
Matt is the host of The Maverick Show – a long-form podcast diving deep into identity, culture, and life as a digital nomad. Phil is the creator behind "Phil's Guide to the World," documenting his travels to some of the most misunderstood places on the planet.
We talk about how a failed business turned into a journey through 170 countries… how getting fired can push you into a completely new life… and why travel often restores your faith in humanity.
This is a conversation about more than just destinations. It's about what happens when you choose freedom – and what that actually looks like behind the scenes.
