Today we've got explorer, storyteller as well as producer & host of TV travel docuseries, Fly Brother, Ernest White II on the show.
And what a pleasure it was slowing down with this guy. He quite literally may be the GREATEST storyteller I have ever met. And on this episode he shares stories, experiences and most importantly learnings from the over 70 countries that he has visited.
We explore all of the following:
- How his passion for experiencing different cultures and storytelling started and his journey to his current role as the host of a world travel show based in connection
- How everything he has done has come from a deeply rooted love for people
- How seeing over 70 countries has led Ernest to realize the “oneness” present amongst all human beings
- An experience that he had in Tajikistan that drove him to realize that people have basic goodness within them and encouraged him to open himself up more
- Why it is so powerful and underrated to simply recognize and see the humanity in someone else
- What is “Slow Travel”
- How the current world centred on efficiency, social media and the “quick hit” has affected the way in which we as people experience travel
- How we can adopt practices of Slow Travel to heighten the connection and presence of our experience when travelling
- Why we should ditch our “to-do lists” when travelling
- Why it is a GOOD thing to be OK with “missing out” sometimes
- The power of SPONTANEITY and how we can make space for this in our trips (and in our day to day lives)
- How we can find ROMANCE when travelling and in our daily lives and how fulfilling this can be
- How in periods of stress, the power that can be found in telling ourselves “nothing is wrong”
- Why in hindsight, the toughest times in our lives are usually the times that we are MOST grateful for
