Travel and Online Business with Meg and Tom of Food, Fun, Travel

Meg and Tom of Food, Fun, Travel met while working on a cruise ship after graduating from university. After Tom moved to Australia to be with Meg and the two tried the traditional 9 to 5 career path, they both decided it wasn't for them and that they wanted to travel full time and support themselves with an online travel business. Taking off for Asia with savings to carry them through for eighteen months and after the early success of an ebook, Meg and Tom poured themselves into building and evolving their travel blog, shifting its initial focus as a budget travel blog to a travel food blog as they both realized it was something they were passionate about. They are currently launching their new podcast "The Dish," where they hope to challenge and surprise their listeners pre-existing food conceptions by integrating some interesting food history and stories behind some worldwide favourite dishes and ingredients. Their first episode covers the history of tacos, and you can catch it here!
On this episode of the podcast we talk to Meg and Tom about their days working on a cruise ship and transitioning over to the decision to travel full time and start a travel blog. We discuss some of the steps they took to start building their business, how they found their niche with food blogging and maintain quality, what they did to bring income in to their business, and some of their tips and lessons learned looking back. They also give us recommendations for some of their favourite travel destinations and weirdest things they've eaten. We had a great conversation with them on such a wide variety of topics, this is definitely an episode you don't want to miss!
Enjoy!
