Amanda chats with three guests who each have had interesting experiences teaching them something important on their travels</p>\r<p>Jeff Ryan, who in previous episodes has taught us the dangers of porcupines eating the rubber parts of your car, returns to chat about how travel can teach us a much more open mindset.</p>\r\n<p>Following Jeff, Amanda chats with Chris Christensen who has already learnt that anything bad that happens on your travels is just a good story and not worth otherwise remembering, and he shares a great story about having trouble finding room at the inn when his children were young.</p>\r\n<p>Finally, Amanda gets very philosophical with Jeff Sandquist who went on a road trip and figured out some enormous changes he needed to make to his life.</p>\r\n<p><b>Links:</b></p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Jeff Ryan’s <a href=\"http://www.jeffryanauthor.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">author website</a></li>\r\n<li>Jeff’s book, <a href=\"http://amzn.to/2bB9o8u\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Appalachian Odyssey</a></li>\r\n<li>Chris Christensen’s site <a href=\"http://amateurtraveler.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amateur Traveler</a></li>\r\n<li>Chris’s <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/amateur-traveler-podcast-itunes/id79424011?mt=2\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amateur Traveler podcast</a></li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https://www.drjeffsandquist.com\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Jeff Sandquist’s website</a></li>\r\n<li>Jeff’s <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/intentionally-wandering/id1002563000?mt=2\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Intentionally Wandering podcast on iTunes</a></li>\r\n<li>Join our <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook group</a></li>\r\n<li>Tweet me @amandakendle</li>\r\n<li>Hashtag #thoughtfultravelpod</li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/NotABallerina\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Join the conversation on Facebook</a></li>\r\n</ul>","author_name":"Amanda Kendle"}
