One Man’s Global Quest for a New Home (Interview)
For most of us, travel is a leisure activity: a temporary disruption of every day life. For Dave, travel is much, much more than that. It’s a means to an end.
Dave is on a global quest to find a place to call home. So far, that quest has taken him across Europe and Asia on an overland journey from Portugal to China. And there’s more to come, as Dave is still looking.
I caught up with him to find out more about what drove him to travel the world in search of a new home.

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.

Baby on Board: Interview with Alice Smudge
Ever dreamed of living life on the road?
Meet the Family Smudge: Scott and Alice, 1-year old Isabella, and Milla, the family dog. Earlier this year, Scott quit his full-time job, and they sold their house, scaling down their belongings to live in a camper. Three months later, the Family Smudge hit the road, setting out from their home in England on a long-term road trip around Europe. This isn't just a family holiday: this is a complete change of lifestyle.
In this interview, TravelBlogs talks to Alice about their decision to pack up, live in a camper, and travel around Europe.
Life of a Travel Writer: Interview with Lara Dunston
If you have ever dreamed of becoming a travel writer, chances are you may have shrugged that dream off as impossible. To many, making a living as a travel writer seems fanciful, well and truly beyond reach.
This week, I had the chance to interview Lara Dunston, a professional travel writer from Australia who has penned guidebooks for Lonely Planet, Dorling Kindersley and Thumbnail Guides, and written articles for National Geographic Traveler, Lifestyle+Travel, USA Today and many other publications. Together with her husband Terry, a professional photographer and writer, she is in her third year of perpetual travel. From her current location in Turkey, she was happy to dispel some myths about the world of travel writing, while sharing a little about her personal experiences.
