S3E1 The New Nomads: Felix Marquardt on travel, addiction and contradictions

The history of the world is a history of travel and of cultures connecting, and yet far too many of us still view ‘migration’ as a dirty word - made all too clear by the global reaction to the current crisis in Afghanistan. But Felix Marquardt, author of ‘The New Nomads’, is flipping that perspective, taking control of the narrative, and teaching us that travel is beautiful. Felix also explains how he views life through the lens of his own struggles with addiction, and how he sees addiction everywhere, particularly in our global obsession with infinite growth. In this episode learn the value of exploring and enjoying different countries and cultures, find out why you always need to challenge the narrative you’re presented with, and learn to let a world of diverse perspectives flow through your writing.
