Episode 16: Hayden Lee – Travel, Pure Uncertainty and “Near Death” Stories

What is it about travel? Why put yourself in positions of almost pure uncertainty in foreign lands? What is about not knowing what a place is going to be like that is so wonderful?

To explore these and other topics, Hayden Lee joins me today. Hayden is the host of a show called “The Travel Stories” podcast. Hayden is also a musician (he was the bassist for a band called Lazarus Mode), sound technician, and many other things. He is also loads of fun and a great story-teller.

This was a fantastic conversation with some great stories, loads of laughs, and some wonderful insights.  We get into:

• Hayden’s background – he is the ”son of a hippie mom and a biker dad”
• His experience picking up and moving to Australia with all but $300 to his name
• Going back to England a few years later via Asia
• Three of Hayden’s “I almost died” stories
• Motorbiking in the Mekong Delta
• What makes travel so wonderful
• Uncertainty, taking risks
• And loads more!
