Episode 36 - Nate Ritter: Travel Hacker

Travel Bubble

This week’s episode is with Nate Ritter in San Diego, USA. Describing himself as both a serial entrepreneur and travel hacker, Nate is well-placed to be a guest on this podcast.

As well as being a CTO, he is also co-founder of Room Steals. The premise of the company is to flip the travel industry on its head by offering wholesale rates on more than 600,000 hotels worldwide.

Nate is proud to call himself a ‘travel hacker’, describing how it’s the mentality of finding as many possibilities as you can to travel for as cheap as possible.

In this episode he touches on choosing a country he couldn’t live in after destroying all of his documents, realising he has a doppelganger that is a serial robber, and why he chose one country despite only technically walking around the block there.

Nate also offers advice on travelling with three children, how to spend less and travel more, and why he believes slow travel is the best way to explore.
