Huddle #62 - Former suburban PT turned international traveller

Most PTs work in one location, a suburb within their hometown, at best they may get to a regional or national conference on occasion. So how did this former suburban PT get to take three international trips in a little over 12 months? What drove him to do this? What did he do to facilitate this happening? And how does he maintain a violable business back home with this much time on the road as an international traveller?

Because up until just over 12 months ago this young NZ-born, Australian-based PT Liam Keats had not travelled further than over the ‘ditch’ from NZ to Australia.

How do I know this? Because when he joined us in August 2023 in Park City, UT, USA, he asked to join the same flight I took from Australia as I did. I could sense the trepidation. And that’s fine, we all have that same uneasiness when we go on our first international trip.

12 months later, in Aug 2024, he repeated the same trip to the KSI Annual Camp in Park City, UT, USA – this time there was less fear in his eyes. How do I know – because he once again joined my flight.

And just a month or so later, he put his hand up for a trip to the UK for a KSI Camp, via Singapore. On the flight he told me he wasn’t coming straight home – rather he would go on and explore other countries in Europe. I was impressed! He had gained so much confidence that he was going off by himself to new countries, on short notice.

I was so impressed with Liam’s commitment to his professional and cultural development through international travel that I started an Instagram travel diary with him. To his credit when he left the UK to travel on to his next European destination, he continued on his daily IG gravel diary. In fact, he did a much better job of it than I was, not that that would be difficult!
