What happens when a Haitian kid from West Palm Beach projects grows up to become an international journalist, storyteller, and explorer?

In this inaugural episode of Side Trails, we sit down with multimedia journalist, poet, and Maps & Diaries founder Wilkine Brutus for a conversation about culture, travel, music, personal growth, and the power of exposure.

From growing up in South Florida and visiting Haiti as a child, to living abroad, exploring the outdoors, and building a career in journalism, Wilkine shares how stepping outside of familiar environments can completely transform your perspective on life.

We also dive into:

•  Outdoor exploration and travel 
•  Urban culture and the outdoors 
•  Haitian identity and representation 
•  Journalism and storytelling 
•  Music, hip-hop, and creativity 
•  Personal development 
•  The Four Ps: Purpose, Planning, Persistence, and Patience 

Stories worth exploring between seasons.
