Occasionally I get opportunities to espouse the virtues of traveling for sports on different platforms — and that’s exactly what I did on the Winging It Travel Podcast!

On Episode 170, released this week, I joined host James Hammond to talk about my years of sports travel adventures, why I do it and why I’m going to continue doing it. And because Hammond is originally from England, we talked plenty of soccer as well. Check out our episode below.

Currently based in Vancouver, Canada, James has lived in five countries and traveled to more than 70 others! He most recently spent time in Central America, visiting Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala.

I had the pleasure of meeting James at a travel conference last year and have followed his content ever since. You can check out his work on YouTube and Instagram.
