Craig Martin and his wife Linda graduated school in 2006 and both had the idea to leave and teach English in foreign countries. Along the way, they started the Indie Travel Podcast before anyone knew what podcasts were. 8 years later, they haven't stopped and today, while she continues to teach, he runs a travel media company, Indie Travel Media - which does hosting, management, and production for companies, mainly travel brands.

Craig's Best Travel Advice:

The First Step: You've just got to go.
Money Saving Tip: For flights, once you find your flight, call up a local travel agent and ask them if they can beat it. For accommodation, consider WWOOFing, Couchsurfing, Housesitting, and so on. Pay attention to where you're heading to be sure you're leveraging the amount you're saving.
Packing Tip: Take one bag, under 20 pounds, and make sure you can carry it on. Simple.
Favorite Internet Travel Resource: Asking locals on Twitter about where you're headed.
Favorite Travel Book: Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Favorite Travel Gear: iPhone
Weirdest Food: A bag of boiled bugs
