Have you ever wondered how real world experiences are crucial to success? This week I speak with Andy Steves who is the founder and "chief backpacker" of Weekend Student Adventures. Andy grew up traveling Europe with his family and tagging along with dad Rick Steves while he created content for his guide books, hosted his TV show and led tours. Andy didn't set out to become a travel entrepreneur but  he saw a need in the market while studying abroad in college. He realized that student's wanted to see the sites and have fun on the weekends in order to blow off steam after a long week of hard work. So, Andy created WSA after graduating from Notre Dame in 2010 and has since led countless of tours, written several books including his most recent "Andy Steves' Europe: City-Hopping on a Budget" and continues to travel the world as a nomadic entrepreneur. I am so excited to share  all of Andy's incredible knowledge in travel and how real world experiences are crucial to success. Listen on to find out all of Andy's tips and tricks! --- Hey Offbeat Family, I really your listening to this episode. I would love to hear more from you and what you think of the podcast.
