I had the honor of being interviewed by prolific podcaster, Nathaniel Boyle. Nathaniel has done over 180 podcasts with a vast range of travelers. Check out his engaging interviews! They are like potato chips, you can not just listen to one.
I had the pleasure of speaking with him for 30 minutes. We covered a wide range of topics. We spent a lot of time covering the Rickshaw Challenge, a 2000 km rally across India in an auto-rickshaw.
Please listen to the Rickshaw Challengehere!
An excerpt from The Daily Travel Podcast:
“It’s an incredible experience to go to Thailand for a month and sit on a beach… It’s an entirely different experience if you build something in addition to that.” – Ric Gazarian
Fellow Boston-native turned world traveler and humanitarian, Ric Gazarian has visited 85 countries across all 7 continents. He documents his travels on his site GlobalGaz and most recently is the author of the book and documentary film, GlobalGaz a road rally, and travel photo journal, through the heart of India.
Anyone who listens to this show regularly has heard stories of the Rickshaw Challenge, a freelance adventure across India (run by The Travel Scientists) in nothing more than a small 2-seater with no doors and, if you’re lucky, an engine strong enough to get you there. This is not a safe thing to do but it sure sounds legendary.
Ric let his curiosity of his ethnic background as an Armenian-American motivate him to begin traveling. After a few experiences overseas, Ric was hooked and began challenging himself further. When he was laid off from a miserable, well-paying job in corporate finance after the market crashed in 2008, he was compelled to try traveling full time — eventually letting his newfound curiosity drive his creativity and fuel his transformation into a filmmaker, photo-journalist, and world-traveler.
