INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

  • You grew up in Peoria, Illinois. Your dad moved your family to Hong Kong and the Philippines when you were young. You then studied communications at southern Illinois and got a masters in linguistics from West Virginia university. Did you always want to travel for a living? Or were you trying to become an actor? How did you get into this?
  • Why do you travel? Is it escapism? Are you figuratively or literally trying to seek something better? You talk about connection. What is it that you really seek?
  • Millennials love to travel. I’m sure at one point or another we’ve all fantasized about getting paid to travel for a living. But you’re actually doing it! Is it everything that it’s cracked up to be? Is it a fantasy? Or do you miss connection with friends, family, and it must be hard to date. Please enlighten us. Is it really a fantasy? Give us the real version
  • Topics i want to ask you
  • Tribalism and prejudice as it relates to Millennials. You talk about challenging cultural beliefs and prejudice as it relates to foreign cultures around the world. The irony is the whole time I’m thinking to myself the same could be true about the Millennial generation. It’s the same Interesting dichotomy.  They want to feel part of a larger group. But don’t want to labeled. “I want to be part of a community and surrounded by people, but i don’t want to be compared to anyone.” I’ve never fully understood it. You deal with both primitive and advanced cultures all around the world. So my question is What lessons can you share regarding tribalism. And how can our generation learn from that to compare each other a little less and be more accepting of one other?
  • You talk a lot about the Hero’s journey and the idea of our larger identity. Can you elaborate more? What do you mean by this? And what revelations have you had in your own journey?
  • Covid 19 and reinventing yourself. Rebirth is something you like to discuss. And not feeling enough. Or that we’re all competing with one another. I love your caravan analogy. We’re all on the same caravan trying to one up each other. Why do you think we all jumped on the caravan in the first place? Who’s brilliant idea was that? And What are the lessons our generation can learn from this period in our lives? What do you want to change moving forward?
  • I want to ask about you personally.
  • What are some personal emotional challenges or struggles you’ve dealt with in your career? How did you overcome them?
  • Favorite location in the world?
  • Do you ever get tired of travel? Does it ever feel burdensome to you to the point where you don’t get enjoyment out of it?
  • What is something you wish someone had told you 5 years ago, or you had told yourself, that you had to learn on your own? But would have made life so much easier had you known.
  • How can people get involved and learn more about you?
