Could you survive by trading? Trading like they did it 1000 years ago, with your own money and a handshake.

"The series, Around the World in 80 Trades, is about a man who places himself in such a predicament in order to test his mettle. Conor Woodman quits his job in "The City" (i.e, London's Wall Street) and decides to trade his way around the world using a limited amount of personal capital. When I say "trade" picture it the way it was done for thousands of years by traders and nomads traveling along the Silk Road. Conor trades in anything that he thinks can provide a positive ROI: camels, horses, wine, coffee beans, jade stones, surfboards, etc. Since its his own money, every trade counts. He travels across Africa, Asia, South America, and Mexico."


Very entertaining combination of trading and commerce, travel and adventure

I'm completely addicted to this show now.

I think this show really demonstrates the importance of:

1) knowing your market (or having someone assist you that knows the market)

2) building relationships with suppliers

3) making your money when you buy

4) "sell to the classes, live with the masses; sell to the masses, live with the classes"

5) due diligence


Thanks for the recommendation 365!
