His early years were spent in Germany as a military brat before returning to the US in Shreveport, Louisiana. We discuss how he handles being a picky eater while travelling the world, missing flights, and the language he'd most like to learn. Calvin also shares why he left a successful corporate career at 50 years old to travel the world and become a travel content creator...right before the pandemic struck. Last, we chat about the profound gratitude he has for his life experiences and new perspectives he's gained because of his connections and memories from years abroad.JOIN THE TRAVEL with TMc COMMUNITY:InstagramBlogFacebook GroupHelp TwTMc Grow OR Get a Shout Out!YouTubeTTLAPOG Spotify PlaylistPoints & Miles CourseMORE RESOURCES & LINK FROM TODAY’S EPISODE:How Calvin & I metCalvin ChroniclesShreveport, LouisianaMinority NomadUnbound Merino CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Calvin Chronicles / Cubicles to Passports06:07 Growing up in Louisiana, USA07:43 Calvin Chronicles & Cubicles to Passports09:11 Work Life Before Travel Content Creation10:06 Early Life: Living in 3 US States & Germany Before Age 511:25 Getting Our Airline Wings12:59 Early Life: Military Brat in Germany15:10 Early Life: Moving Back to the US at 8-Years-Old16:33 Third Culture Kid (TCK) & Having a Military Accent24:05 First Trips & Childhood Experiences: Heidelberg Castle & German Beaches27:02 How to Choose Where to Travel: History, Work, Friends Overseas35:42 Personal Impacts of Travel: Profound Gratitude & New Perspectives40:02 Travel Traditions44:54 Pandemic Effects on Travel: Quitting the 9-5 & Travelling Through Asia01:04:06 Travel Mishaps: Missed Flights01:05:47 Scary Travel Experiences01:08:17 Language & Travel: German, Spanish, & Japanese01:20:55 Impact of Tech on Travel Style: Itinerary Flexibility, GPS, Translation01:25:05 Trip Planning: Local Friends & Rental Apps01:27:11 Personal Impacts of Travel: Learning Patience01:30:10 Untried Types of Travel:  Land Border Crossings & Vanlife01:32:52 Leaving a High Paying Job to Travel the World at 5001:36:09 Personal Impacts of Travel: Diverse Exposure & Connection01:40:53 Cubicles to Passports: Inspiring Others to Explore through Priorities01:42:55 Fiascos at Home while Away: Fires & Floods01:45:57 Spotify Travel Playlist: Calvin's Choice01:47:18 Speed Round: Astronaut Dreams, Minority Nomad, & Thai TukTuks02:04:37 Until Next Time & Where to Find @CalvinChroniclesSupport the show© 2025-2026 Travel with TMc.

Have a travel question? Text us and we’ll tackle it on an episode!This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go I chat with an extraordinary woman named Kaila. She's a recreational therapist from Toronto, Canada who makes the most of her holidays, exploring locally and internationally. We chat about the impact of growing up in a family that hosted international students, which led to her first solo international trip to Colombia at age 14. We also talk about the not-so-great side of travel, like being hospitalized in Thailand. Kaila's curiosity has led her to learn Finnish, Spanish, and how to travel with points and miles.
