Calen Otto: $300 Plus a Bike and a Dream

This episode features Calen Otto host of the Unruly Travel podcast, author, and a traveller known for embarking on a unique cross-country biking adventure with minimal resources. Starting with a fascination inspired by another adventurer, Calen decided to bike across the USA with only $300, trading work for their needs along the way. Now having visited 34 states, 20 national parks, and over 30 countries on a tight budget, Calen has become a spokesperson for sustainable travel, animal rights, and living an 'unruly' lifestyle against the norms. The episode delves into their views on veganism, its intersections with other social justice issues, and how travel can both challenge and reinforce our perceptions and behaviors towards sustainability.
