The Analog GPS: Letters to the World


Listen Later

Ever wonder what happens when you trade a GPS for a stack of handwritten letters? This week, we’re chatting with Jordi Möllering, an actor-turned-courier who pedaled from the Netherlands to Kazakhstan on a mission that was part mail delivery, part total leap of faith.

We’re chatting about:

  • A journey dictated by letters, where each delivery point decided the next destination.
  • Navigating the snowy peaks of the Caucasus and the endless, lonely stretches of the Kazakh steppe.
  • How a simple letter can break through language barriers and turn strangers into lifelong friends.
  • Finding resilience in the wild and rediscovering the power of "analog" human connection.

 

Forget the map and join us for a story about traveling with purpose, one doorstep at a time. It’s a wild ride through the mountains and into the homes of people who remind us that kindness is a universal language.

Catch up with Jordi on Instagram @6lettersdotcom and on his blog, 6 Letters to the End of the World.
