In this episode I get to talk with an ambitious young man from South Africa who is transforming the architectural space. He was able to attend a university in America in order to better learn how to help his home country rebuild from the damaging affects of Apartheid. During our conversation, he shares what inspired him to study architectural design, how he is impacting local communities in South Africa, and how you can get involved with this project.

In this episode I get to talk with an absolutely incredible career storyteller from South Africa named Rob Caskie. Rob experienced travel at an early age and began a world wide adventure many only dream of. Telling stories for a living began in 2001, on the famous Anglo-Zulu War battlefields at the foot of world renowned raconteur, David Rattray. Researching and sharing human dramas has taken Rob to the Antarctic on numerous occasions, the Arctic, annually to the UK, and very regularly to the Battlefields. You’ll love hearing his stories of world travel, South African history, and Zulu culture, including a part where he speaks Zulu during our conversation.

In this episode I get to talk with Sarah, a public health researcher who is currently living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We ended up starting this episode by discussing the 2020 election in America as she has volunteered full time as a poll monitor over the past couple months. We talked a lot about her experiences in Uganda working on HIV public health initiatives, her views on voluntourism and white saviourism, and why it’s important for each of us to learn more about our global community to help better our own countries. She also shares several fantastic stories, including one about the time she worked at a not-sketchy-at-all bar in Greece for a summer.

In this episode I get to talk with an animal conservationist from South Africa. Grant Fowlds has been actively involved in conservation for most of his life and is currently helping local communities set up game reserves to rewild the land and provide a safe habitat for endangered animals. In his book, Saving the Last Rhinos, Grant shares so many stories he’s experienced, from growing up in the bush to working in the DRC. We simply did not have time to share all his stories here so I highly recommend grabbing a copy of his book and reading it, or as I did, listen to it on audiobook so you hear the proper pronunciations.

To order a copy of his book or to find out more about the foundations he is a part of, feel free to visit his website at https://grantfowlds.com/.

In this episode I get to talk with an occupational therapist who has made travel her passion, hobby, and ultimately her lifestyle. During our conversation, we talk about what an occupational therapist does and how her job has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. She also tells several incredible stories from her many travels and shares some good tips for anyone having to navigate a long distance relationship. I was inspired by how she has made travel a priority in her life and seeks to constantly expand her knowledge of the world we live in.

In this episode I get to talk with a Korean War veteran from the U.S. who is currently living up north in Tok, Alaska. My dad, an Army chaplain currently serving in South Korea, came on to cohost this episode as we learned more about what it was like to serve in Korea during the winter of 1954. We talk about what the purpose of his deployment was, which nations were providing support in the Korean War, some of the hardships the soldiers faced, and how this experience changed the way Jerry interacts with people. I learned a lot of history during this conversation and I know you're going to enjoy hearing Jerry tell his stories.

In this episode I get to talk with another third culture kid who is currently living in Spain. I loved talking with Delia about the many cultures she has been intimately involved with over the years, and I enjoyed listening to some of her favorite travel memories. We also talk about why getting lost is so important and how travel enriches your life in so many ways. Also, I think we finally settled the debate about whether pineapple should go on pizza so if that is of interest to you, you’re going to enjoy today’s episode.
