Tuna Fish Ice Cream: Interview with Phil Goldman

When Phil Goldman turned 30, he hit the road armed with a credo: Taste the tuna fish ice cream.

As he travelled throughout Asia, Phil worked a diverse range of jobs – from playing jungle guide in Thailand, to posing as a nude model. Why? To taste the tuna fish ice cream of course!

TravelBlogs caught up with Phil to learn what this fuss about tuna fish ice cream is all about.

Modern Day Nomad: Interview with Nomadic Matt

It all started after a short trip to Thailand in 2005. Returning to his native Boston, Matt knew he wasn't content settling for short holidays. So he set out to travel the world for 537 days straight.

Matt's back in Boston now, but not for long. He's planning to head off on another long-term adventure, travelling through Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and beyond.

In the meantime, he took a bit of time to tell TravelBlogs about how his love for travel was born, his experience returning home and life as a nomad.

Brooke Versus the World: Interview with Brooke

At the start of this year, Brooke and her boyfriend Brian had it all planned: a long-term round-the-world trip.

But when Brian was offered a too-good-to-resist job in New York, Brooke decided to head off on her own. She flew into Poland in March, made her way through the Ukraine, and is now in Kyrgyzstan learning Russian.

I caught up Brooke to learn more about her experiences in Eastern Europe and Central Asia as a solo traveller.
