Episode 10 - R.A. Dalkey Interview

On this episode of the Pioneer Podcast, Gareth and Justin speak with travel author R.A.Dalkey about his experiences traveling to over 70 countries as well as his latest book, "Monte Carlo for Vagabonds," which contains true stories and anecdotes from his experiences with "next level budget travel." Dalkey was born in Cape Town, holds British citizenship and now lives in Europe. An incorrigible dreamer, he's driven outback trucks in Australia, spent two years trying to be a professional golfer and slept rough everywhere from Monte Carlo to Siberia, visiting over 70 countries along the way. Including Ireland, where he cracked up every time he rode the DART train past a town called Dalkey, and an author name was born. As for the occasional bout of work, he's known to do his fair share of editing magazines and writing. His words have been published by GQ, Reader’s Digest, The Sunday Times, Australian International Traveller, Reuters, Autosport and Sports Illustrated, to name just a handful.
