He’s an entrepreneur who runs the hostel company Podstel and has traveled across to 50+ countries over 4 years. He’s known for hitchhiking across Europe and the USA (partially through the use Tinder). We discuss:

  • his story
  • quitting alcohol
  • finding mentors
  • the benefits of travel
  • safety of hitchhiking and couch-surfing
  • how to find the right type of friends
  • finding purpose as a young professional
  • his goal to complete the Camino de Santiago
  • why Dan travels for people, not destinations
  • navigating the challenges of COVID-19’s impact on the hospitality industry
  • why some cultural narratives (“get a family immediately, get a job”) aren’t always accurate

This episode is fantastic for young people who feel a bit lost and want to learn about a few ideas about travel, fulfillment, relationships, and life that may help them find life more enriching.
