Today on the show of is the first part of a two part episode with Sean LeBlanc. Sean currently works as a salesman for in New York City, so if you like good beer, and good travel, Sean LeBlanc should be your last stop. We’ll discuss some of Sean’s crazy travels from being robbed in Mexico City to enjoying great beer in Paris...when you would normally think of wine. The first of two parts will really dive into some of Sean’s crazy travel stories, and the second part will expose how craft beer ( if you are of age of course) heightens the travel experience, and may be something to consider wherever you may go.

This episode features two guests, Dave Nuhn and Mike Mars, as they discuss their journey north to the Canadian Maritimes from their southern New Jersey homes. We discuss the geological features of the area, and the "why" behind some of the dramatic landscapes.

In episode 4 I spend time with my good friend Jeff and talk about what it is like to live, work, and travel on a hundred year old boat. We dive into the myths about captains, far flung destinations, and what you do when your boat isn't cleared for the open seas. In addition we also dive into the spiritual connections that two people can have from seemingly distant cultures.

In this episode, I chat with Jorge Pardo, owner of vamonos tours ( https://www.vamonostours.com/) on the challenges faced when he moved from Puerto Rico to the United States. We also discussed the start of his business, and how to get travelers to fully immerse themselves in the culture. We recorded this episode in November of 2017-shortly after Hurricane Maria ( I pronounced it Marie..oops. Close enough?!?!)

In this episode, I discuss Nate Howell's humanitarian work in Afghanishtan with morning star development, an NGO whose mission is to "bring hope and opportunity to the people of Afghanistan, using sustainable economic and community development initiatives designed to empower individuals and transform communities." Nate and I discuss the astounding differences that he faced in Afghanistan, and the impact culture had on him.

Note, there were a couple of audio hiccups in this episode, but it is my hope that they don't distract too much! Any suggestions would be considered helpful!
