In this episode of The Globetrotters’ Guide, Mike is joined by Aron and Erika—a travel couple who’ve turned a year on the road into a transformative journey across cultures, climates, and continents.
From the icy climbs of Everest Base Camp to the vibrant streets of Tokyo, they open up about:
What they’ve learned from long-term travel as a couple
How budget and mindset shape every destination
Their reflections on burnout, balance, and what happens after full-time travel
Their thoughts on Kara and Nate, and what The Amazing Race gets right (and wrong) about adventure
This is a grounded, real talk episode about the highs, the hardships, and how travel shapes who we become—one country at a time.
🗺️ Whether you're dreaming of your first trip or reevaluating what travel means to you, this conversation is full of honest insight.
