Hello from Nepal! This week we are joined by @ClaireandPeter, a young couple from the US that was living a settled life, working in finance. Peter enjoyed life's routine and had no real burning desire to travel until Claire suggested they save up so that they could quit their jobs and go on a big epic backpacking world trip.

In that first year they backpacked to over 20 countries and documented their adventures on TikTok & Instagram, which led them to grow a community of over 500 million people across their social media platforms. They've now caught the travel bug and have just embarked on Year 2 of their backpacking adventure.


Claire & Peter have had articles written about them but this is the first time they’ve given an interview to share their story. In this conversation, we talk about what they’ve learned from a year of travel, including some hilarious stories of ‘budget travel gone wrong’, as well as life advice for anyone wanting to take the plunge and do the same. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as us!
