<p>What's the most fun thing to do in (Un)Retirement? Everyone has their favorites. But top on many lists is TRAVEL. <br /> <br /> This month's guest is Andrew Motiwalla, who Carl calls "Mr. Travel" since he's been traveling the world since he was a child. Travel with his family planted the seed and he joined the Peace Corps at 20 years old. Since then the "immersion" theme has carried through his life. Andrew has been an globe-trotting tech entrepreneur and even launched his own specialized travel experience companies.</p> <p>Andrew built a travel organization focused on expanding the horizons of high school students. Now he's developed a very cool experience called "The Good Life Abroad," created for active adults who want to live for a month or two in Europe with a built-in community and concierge service. In the interview, he offers great travel tips and also life experience advice about slowing down, avoiding "tourist mode" and pushing yourself past your comfort zone. In the right environment, we can all do some amazing things with our lives! </p> <p>Andrew is a very interesting guy who has created an adventurous second act for himself. </p> <ul> <li>More about Andrew Motiwalla: <a href= "https://thegoodlifeabroad.com/about-us" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://thegoodlifeabroad.com/about-us</a> </li> <li>Andrew's venture The Good Life Abroad: <a href= "https://thegoodlifeabroad.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://thegoodlifeabroad.com</a></li> <li>Episode Content: <a href= "https://pickleballmediahq.com/blog/andrew-motiwalla-interview-mr-travel-the-good-life-abroad" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://pickleballmediahq.com/blog/andrew-motiwalla-interview-mr-travel-the-good-life-abroad</a></li> <li>Sponsored by How to Retire and Not Die Video Series: <a href= "https://howtoretireandnotdie.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://howtoretireandnotdie.com</a></li> <li>Sponsored by Capital Advantage: <a href= "https://capitaladvantage.com/promotion/retirement-planning-guide" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://capitaladvantage.com/promotion/retirement-planning-guide</a></li> <li>Subscribe to the the I Used to be Somebody Newsletter: <a href= "https://pickleballmediahq.com/contact/subscribe" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://pickleballmediahq.com/contact/subscribe</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>
