Ep 16: Hayden Lee - Travel, Pure Uncertainty, and "Near Death" Stories

What is it about travel? Why put yourself in positions of almost pure uncertainty in foreign lands? What is about not knowing what a place is going to be like that is so wonderful? To explore these and other topics, Hayden Lee joins me today. Hayden is the host of a show called "The Travel Stories" podcast. Hayden is also a musician (he was the bassist for a band called Lazarus Mode), sound technician, and many other things. He is also loads of fun and a great story-teller. This was a fantastic conversation with some great stories, loads of laughs, and some wonderful insights.  We get into:  •Hayden's background – he is the "son of a hippie mom and a biker dad" •His experience picking up and moving to Australia with all but $300 to his name •Going back to England a few years later via Asia •Three of Hayden's "I almost died" stories •Motorbiking in the Mekong Delta •What makes travel so wonderful •Uncertainty, taking risks •And loads more!   Show notes:   •Check out Hayden's show, "The Travel Stories Podcast": http://travelstoriespodcast.com/ •Follow Hayden on Twitter: https://twitter.com/travelstoriesuk •Check out his show's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/travelstoriespodcast/?fref=ts   Did you like this episode?
