In this episode, I’m back with global explorer and podcasting trailblazer Jason Moore—host of Zero to Travel—for a deeper dive into what it really means to live intentionally, travel meaningfully, and unplug from the noise of modern life.

But don’t expect a simple highlight reel.

From adapting to life in Norway to challenging the grip of digital addiction, Jason opens up about the cultural values that shape us, the double-edged sword of technology, and why being present might be the most radical act of all.

We explore what happens when travel stops being an escape and starts becoming a mirror—and how to bring home the best parts of the world without losing yourself in the scroll.

✨ Inside This Episode:

• The cultural tenets Jason took from Norway, Costa Rica, and beyond
• What slow travel reveals that fast travel never can
• The mindset shift that turns ordinary days into extraordinary experiences
• A behind-the-scenes look at his newest venture, Helping Humans Being
• How to reclaim your time, focus, and presence in a hyper-digital world
• Why your phone may be costing you years of your life (literally)
• Creating rituals and tools for conscious living—at home or abroad

🌿 Whether you’re a digital nomad, an over-scheduled parent, or somewhere in between, this episode is your reminder: peace isn’t a destination—it’s a daily decision.
