Early life
Arndt was born in Appleton, Wisconsin.[3] He attended Macalester College in the early 1990s, where he was a competitive debater, making it to the late rounds of the Cross Examination Debate Association National Tournament in 1990 and 1991.[4]
Business ownership
Arndt was a business owner in Minneapolis, Minnesota before he became a writer.[5] He owned the web design firm, Creative Internet Solutions, which he sold in 1999 to Control Data Corporation. There, he developed the idea to open a video-game-playing facility while watching his employees play computer games after work.[6] He owned the videogame salon The Stomping Grounds, with a location in Minneapolis and a second location that opened in 2002.[7] The salon, one of the original PC-gaming rooms in the United States,[8] was founded from the profits Arndt received from a gaming news website he bought in the late 1990s called Stomped.com. The business received about $1 million in revenue during its first year.[9]
Travelling career
In March 2007, Arndt sold his house in Eden Prairie, Minnesota in order to travel the world. The initial plan was to travel for about a year and a half, however, Arndt decided to continue his travels indefinitely. Since 2007, he has traveled to about 140 countries and all seven continents. Arndt does not maintain a personal residence, living only in temporary locations.[2]
He chronicles his journey on his travel blog, Everything Everywhere, which has approximately 100,000 readers monthly.[10] The blog includes both comments on the places he has traveled and photography.[11] He also co-hosts the podcast This Week in Travel[12] and has contributed articles and photography to websites including The Atlantic[13] and HuffPost,[14] and The Four Hour Work Week.[15]
Podcast
Since July 2020, Arndt has produced and hosted the Everything Everywhere Daily podcast, which, by 2025, had been downloaded over 14 million times.[16]
Recognition
Arndt has won awards from the Society of American Travel Writers[17][18][19][20][21] and other organizations.[22][23] In 2010, he was one of 25 selections for Time magazine's best blog list.[24]
