Affording Travel Interview With Alexis and Carol: Saving Up for a 2-Year RTW Trip

April 18, 2014 by Deia Leave a Comment

Save money for an RTW trip

Alexis Radoux, my guest today, recorded himself singing one song in 45 countries. After watching the video, I just had to talk to him.

Alexis hails from France and did some hitchhiking in Europe when he was a teenager. After working for a while in France, he quit his job and lived as an expat in a few countries. He met Carol in Brazil, where they’re now based, and they’ve been traveling together ever since.

Recently, Alexis and Carol completed a 2-year round-the-world trip. They’re taking a break now, but it looks like they’ll get moving again soon. They just signed a deal with a production company, so if you see them on TV, remember that you first saw them here! ;)

My interviewees today, though, have hitchhiked all over the world for years and they’re still in one piece. In fact, they say the only danger they’ve ever encountered was irresponsible drivers. And who hasn’t been driven around by one of those? Sometimes I even pay a bad driver for his services.

So without further ado…
