  • #36 (Part 1) When The Travel Bug Bites: My Unruly Travel Tale by Calen Otto
    Welcome to part 1 of the "When The Travel Bug Bites" series! This is the grand kick off to Calen's most personal, intense, raw, challenging, and exciting travels of all time. This story is told while driving home from a 2 month van trip across the United States.
    Do you think it is possible to travel across the United States with literally no money? No? Think again! In this episode you hear how and why Calen decided (voluntarily) to take on the challenge. You also hear about their conflicting emotions while spending a year as an exchange student, and great instructions and helpful tips for dumpster diving.
    Be sure to catch part 2, 3, and 4 of this story to hear the complete experience!

  • #32 I've Fed 300 Cats Each Night For 13 Years Straight | Helping Feral Cats In Puerto Rico
    *PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW IN iTUNES/YOUR PODCAST APP!*
    There are a handful of ways that we can support Glen that are not limited to in-person volunteering. It costs him about $200 each day to feed the cats, so donations are greatly appreciated and highly valuable. Money can be sent to Glen at https://paypal.me/glencats or can be transferred into PetSmart e-gift cards to be used for wet and dry cat food. Glen can be contacted at [email protected]. Glen also does TNR with the cats and will be able to do more with a boost of steady donations.
    “It’s a night and day commitment to the cats and what I am doing.”
    “I continue because I know that the cats are waiting for me everyday. They depend on me and what I bring to them.”

  • #31 Empowering People In Uganda Through Plant-Based Food With The Podrska Foundation
    *PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW IN iTUNES/YOUR PODCAST APP!*
    Meet the man who takes a hard stance on some of the most important issues in the world while having “no favorites.” Dash, in his 20's, has created and shaped an organization in Uganda that is dedicated to improving the lives of and pushing for the liberation of humans and nonhumans in his community alike.
    In this episode, he explains why folks in his community are dying more from hunger and less from the actual virus. He tells us why and how he helps to support 150+ children & 50+ women, as well as how we can help be a support system. (Excuse our podcast quality! We had a hard time finding perfect internet connection but this story is still SO worth sharing.)

  • #29 Scooping Elephant Poop In Thailand: A Week At Elephant Nature Park
    *PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW IN iTUNES/YOUR PODCAST APP!*
    Last summer I spent a month budget traveling & backpacking Thailand with one of my closest friends, Anne, whom I met during my year living in South America. Having no idea the amount of adventure, friendship, education, and pure beauty that we would find in Thailand, we set off with hardly any plans in mind besides spending a week at Elephant Nature Park. That week was filled with scooping the largest poop that I've ever seen in my life, creating a run-club with our new backpacker friends and local ENP guides despite the scorching heat, and watching humans and elephants interacting in such trusting and magnificent ways.
    That week was one of the most incredible and shocking of my life. Learn why it was so memorable & learn about hot spots to visit while backpacking Thailand in this new Will Work For Food Episode!

  • #28 The Truth About Budget Backpacking & Post-Travel Blues With Dianni Hall
    *PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW IN iTUNES/YOUR PODCAST APP!*
    This episode comes to you raw, from a solo budget backpacker, just days after landing back in the US. You may remember Dianni Hall, a previous guest talking about "feeling fear and doing it anyway" when it comes to life and travels.
    Dianni's plans to travel South America changed drastically, taking her all over Asia on an adventurous and spontaneous backpacking experience. From living on an Ashram and shaving her head to boating through dark caves, this episode will motivate you to get up and go when the time is right. But in the theme of "messing up and posting it anyway," our guest this week gets real about the difficult parts of travel and those post-travel blues.
