The Evolution of the Original Broke Backpacker: Building a Travel Empire w/ Serial Entrepreneur Will Hatton #79

Kim Anderson Episode 79

Calling all adventure lovers and storytellers!

We're hanging out this week with the OG Broke Backpacker himself, Will Hatton. Will isn't your average traveler – he spent years exploring the world on a shoestring budget (think $10 a day!) and we talk about the raw and real adventures that changed him forever.

Will started The Broke Backpacker travel blog to share his experiences from all these off-the-beaten-path places. Before he knew it, it blew up – we're talking over a million visitors a month!

In this episode, Will spills the tea on his epic hitchhiking journey from the UK all the way to India, and starting an adventure company in Pakistan. This wild ride turned him into a serial entrepreneur, and that's how Tribal, his new co-working hostel in Bali, came to be.

Will swears by travel as his cure for shyness. Turns out, exploring the world can do wonders for your confidence!

We get super real with Will about the transformative power of travel and the practices that helped him become the person he is today.

This episode is filled with tips for budget travelers and aspiring entrepreneurs alike.
