Zero to Travel
Interviews with unconventional travelers, digital nomads, and adventurers on how to build a life with more travel, on your own terms.
A long-form interview show that blends practical, actionable advice with the deeper philosophy of a travel-centric life. Host Jason Moore talks to guests who have successfully broken away from conventional lifestyles to pursue full-time travel, digital nomadism, or adventure. The podcast serves as both a practical playbook and a source of inspiration for listeners looking to make a similar life change.
“Unlike many travel shows that focus on luxury or short vacations, Zero to Travel is grounded in the realities of long-term, budget-conscious, and work-integrated travel. Its longevity and extensive back catalog provide a deep well of evergreen advice, while Jason's personal experience as a long-term nomad lends credibility to his interviews.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Jason typically opens by quoting a guest's bio, book, or mission statement to anchor the conversation in their core idea. He uses direct, curious follow-ups (e.g., "Why Vienna?") to dig into the motivations behind key life decisions and transformative moments. He often asks guests to "unpack" a specific concept for the audience or to provide actionable advice based on their expertise. A common thread is exploring the guest's origin story—not just what they do, but the epiphany or turning point that led them to an unconventional path.
Jason Moore hosts with a friendly, encouraging tone, often opening episodes with a lengthy monologue to frame the guest's philosophy. He builds rapport by sharing his own experiences and referencing his research on the guest. The show uses recurring audio elements like a standard intro and airport announcement sound effects for transitions.
