Earl grew up outside of Boston in the USA and shortly after graduating from university, he took a three-month trip to Southeast Asia. One week into that trip, while celebrating the Millennium at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Earl made the decision to pursue a life of indefinite travel instead of returning home to pursue a career as a sports agent, for which he had studied. Earl has written two popular eBooks - How to Live a Life of Travel and How to Work on a Cruise Ship - both of which are aimed at helping others discover, and take advantage of, opportunities to achieve their own travel goals. In 2012, Earl began his Wandering Earl Tours project, in which he organizes and leads small group tours to some of his favorite countries around the world. He currently offers 4-5 tours per year to countries such as India, Romania and Mexico.
