If stories are the currency of travel, then writer Ryan Nickum is a very wealthy man. By the time he turned 30, Nickum's passport was chock full of the brightly colored patchwork of entry and exit stamps from dozens of distant countries. He was consumed by a desire to travel and haunted by the inability to sit still. The gaps in his resume developed into oceans between jobs. Cynicism grew. The overwhelming urge to quit the job and pack a bag sprang up every six months like a song that would not leave his ears. With his career stalling and idealism flat lining, Nickum looked into his past to search for the seed of the travel affliction. There was only one person to blame -- his father.What makes the traveler's feet restless? Is it nature or nurture? Writer Ryan Nickum presents Bedtime Stories for Wanderers. Comments[5]

Great podcast! My wife and I have a friend who used to work for 5 months at a restaurant, save all the money she made, and live off of it in Prague for a year. She used Prague as her base of operations, and wandered around Europe from there. I always envied her, my international travels being limited to tracking Soviet submarines off the coast of Cuba, a few \"almost\" visits to the Virgin islands, and one really alcohol ridden week at Roosevelt Roads Naval base that to this very day makes me shudder when I see a shot of tequila.
