A friend who he met swing dancing back in 2007 who has since moved to Austin, TX… by way of a 4 month “walk about” style travel period that Jason is mesmerized by! Maria talks about her background of growing up in a little town in northern Louisiana, going to college, then spending three years in the AmeriCorps.

She had an experience of a lifetime and walks us through the trip and how best to follow a similar path.
