🌴137. What travel teaches you about courage feat. Ryan So Fly (Weekend Rewind)


I decided to re-release this conversation because earlier this week, I joined Ryan So Fly's YouTube creator community (only $5/month — well worth it), and it reminded me just how brilliant this chat was.
Ryan So Fly is one of my favourite travel YouTubers. He’s funny, honest, insightful, and has a killer eye for capturing raw, real travel experiences — from flight reviews to Aussie pub meals in remote towns.
In this episode, we cover:
✈️ What life was like working 4AM shifts in corporate Singapore
🌏 How Ryan planned a 10-year migration journey to Australia
🛫 Why he believes travel builds empathy (and what real travel looks like)
🚙 That unforgettable trip to Cape York — solo, wet season, and full of heart
🐍 The story of nearly stepping on a snake while filming a GoPro segment
🎥 What it takes to balance content creation with staying present while travelling
🍽️ Why a pub dinner in a small Aussie town is the ultimate connection point
💡 His method for planning epic trips — involving inflight magazines and spontaneity
📺 Behind the scenes of being a YouTube creator: from burnout to raw honesty
🌏 Ryan’s favourite airlines, emotional moments, and why Cape York still gives him goosebumps
