E11. How to Visit 150 Countries While Becoming a Doctor with Calvin Sun (Pt.1)

Joining me today is someone who I consider to be a modern-day renaissance man. Calvin Sun is an Asian-American ER doctor, entrepreneur and world traveller living in New York City. Calvin is also the founder of the Monsoon Diaries, a travel blog and "tour company for people who hate group tours."

He shares his advice on how to maximize your time and money for travel, why you should travel as widely as possible while you're young and how group travel can transform even for the most die-hard solo travellers.
