Nat and Mikey, two schoolteachers from England, took a bold leap and a year off from their classroom to explore America the slow way… by hitchhiking, canoe, and curiosity. They landed in Denver, made their way to Montana, bought their first-ever canoe, and have been paddling down the Missouri into the Mississippi on their way to the Gulf. Nat and Mikey join John today as they wind down their trip and tell us about the importance of ‘gritting your teeth.’ You can follow along with their journey and love letter to the American spirit at natandmikey.wordpress.com.
