Welcome back! In today's episode, we chat with Anthropologist Cody Rodriguez, who is a Ph.D. student in Melbourne, studying the modern phenomenon that is hashtag vanlife. We talk about Cody’s own travel journey and how it shaped him to be the curious person that he is today. We also talk about his experience living the Van life & the insights & overarching themes he’s gleaned from his field research.
