The Euphoria of Overseas Adventures

The best decision Tommy Walker ever made was taking a 3-month backpacking trip to Southeast Asia. That single journey changed the trajectory of his entire life.

He is now in his fourteenth year of living and travelling abroad—and has no plans of ever living in his homeland of England again.

Today, Tommy Walker works as a foreign correspondent in Bangkok, covering stories from across Southeast Asia. His award-winning work has led him to appear on television and write for major news outlets around the world. He also serves as vice-president of the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand and hosts the Dateline Bangkok podcast.

In this fascinating episode, we dive into what has shaped Tommy into the person he is today. Why have travelling and living abroad brought him so much happiness? And what—or who—inspired him to choose the life he leads now?

Tommy explains why he thinks travel has changed over the years and why he now feels like an “outsider” in his own hometown. He also reveals his biggest lesson from nearly 14 years of travelling and living overseas. And although he’s content with the life he’s chosen, he still feels there’s a “missing link” in his journey.
