Have you ever dreamed of leaving it all behind to travel the world? If yes, this is precisely how Matt and Nikki Javit felt before packing their backpacks to leave the United States in February of 2017. They both think that their mid-career retirement will become more common as people pause their hectic lives to seek more from experiences. Both have been featured on podcasts and blogs around the world and Matt has been called the Anthony Bourdain of Barber Shops based on his series World Barber Shop Adventures. Listen in as they share their stories, travel tips, money-saving hacks, and answer your questions in this entertaining podcast recorded from around the world.
Traveling back to South Africa for the second time in only two years was Nikki’s idea but it became Matt’s playground as they hiked the mountains, went to a safari, enjoyed the braai feasts, swam in the ocean, and went to a rugby match. Deep sea fishing and being part of a shark catch was icing on the cake! Matt makes the case that this is a guys’ trip heaven in this episode that describes their three months in several cities along the coast. They also answer a listener question about what they have learned about themselves and each other during their travel. Enjoy as they continue to open up on their journey so far.

Our prize of this episode comes from Mizzen+Main. I only have two pairs of pants with me during our travels so I had to make sure they were comfortable, stylish, and versatile. My grey and blue Mizzen+Main pants have allowed we to trek up the mountains in Chile and walk through the halls of St. Peters in the Vatican. They are the only pants I need to for all of my traveling adventures. When you see me wearing pants in my photos, I am wearing Mizzen+Main.
