Miles Neslaw is a vagabond, train-hopper, dumpster diver and world traveler.

“If you think your life is boring, change it.” -Miles Neslaw

Don’t let the length of this episode deter you from listening as it’s a saga filled with sketchy, dangerous and insightful/inspirational stories…

I first met Miles under the trailname “Oz” while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2015 when he was 19 years old. Since that time, Miles has continued adventuring, living off the waste of civilization and building his life resume. Miles discusses his many highs and lows of the past three years while hopping freight trains, living in the vigilante, makeshift desert town of Slab City, escaping South-East Asian police on motorbike, and his personal journey with trusting his intuition.

It was wonderful to reconnect with Miles after so much time and I wish him safety and growth as he continues to push the boundaries of global adventure. Without further adieu, hop aboard this train and get ready to ride one hell of a rollercoaster alongside my dear hiker trash friend, Miles Neslaw!

Love,
David
