Description
đ This is our 200th episode of The World Vegan Travel Podcastâand weâre so excited to celebrate it with a truly inspiring guest!
In todayâs episode, weâre talking with Calen Otto, the creator of Unruly Travel and host of the Unruly Podcast. Calen is a vegan writer, activist, and adventurer who has traveled to over 30 countriesâoften on an incredibly tight budgetâall while centering compassion, sustainability, and community in everything they do.
Theyâll be sharing creative tips for making travel more affordableâlike scoring free flights with credit card points, using local rideshare platforms, CouchSurfing, and house-sitting. Calen also talks about how their travels are deeply rooted in activism and alternative living, including queer-friendly volunteer trips, immersive cultural experiences, and staying off-grid in places like ecovillages and sanctuaries.
Youâll hear about their first big adventureâbiking across the US at just 19 with only $300 in their pocketâas well as how they now help others plan meaningful, ethical, and budget-friendly trips around the world.
