Why I Quit Teaching To Travel The World #11 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is the story of why Lessons Beyond The Classroom exists. Why did nobody teach us the stuff that actually matters? Not algebra or Pythagoras — how to handle failure, deal with loss, manage money, buy a house, back yourself when everyone's telling you to take the safe option, and know that being on your own can be a powerful thing. In this solo episode I go right back to the beginning: how a PE teacher dating the art teacher quit to travel the world, where the name "Where's Hodgie" actually c

Read excerpt
Leaving the UK for a better life with two kids — this is how Kayleigh actually did it.

In this episode I break down intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation, why "do what makes you happy" is more than a cliché, and the one practical thi
10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Traveling Solo | Lessons Beyond The Classroom #11 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You're 19, 20, 21 and you've just stepped off the plane completely alone for the first time. No mum, no dad — just you against the world. It's the best feeling there is, and it's also exactly when people get caught out. I've backpacked Europe, lived in America and New Zealand, and put myself in some silly situations along the way. In this episode I share the 10 safety steps I'd give anyone before they travel solo — plus the flesh-eating infection that nearly ended my trip in Thailand. The insura
