Today I interview my younger brother, who has done something that I would probably never do.
Live in Africa.
A mission trip to Jamacia broke the fear of traveling for Cody when he was younger, and now he’s traveled around the world, visiting our sister in Spain, and our topic today, studying abroad in Uganda.
He’ll share with what life is REALLY like living in Africa and also recount a hilarious travel mishap that includes tap dancing shoes, a trip to Turkey, and lots of sobbing.
Also, please don’t forget to vote for us on the Lights, Camera, Switzerland site! If we win we’ll be hosting the pilot episode of a brand new travel show and we’ll also be doing some extra special for our listeners, but we have to win for you to find out what it is!!

Allan spent 3 years traveling the world by motorcycle. On Tuesday he shared his journey with us with some of his amazing stories from those years on the road.
But what did he do when he got back home?
Supermarkets, cars, and the shock of too much choice provide some interesting points of contrast to the rest of the world. We chat about the difficulties of re-entry after years abroad before moving onto his big project…
Forks, A Quest for Culture, Cuisine, and Connection, a gorgeous coffee table book about his travels around the world. Complete with recipes and photos from the 35 countries he visited on his journey.
We discuss his quest to get his book published via crowdfunding and the new projects he currently has in the works.
From travel stories and crowdfunding to tips on saving money on the road, Allan shares some of his seemingly endless adventures and tips with us on another awesome podcast!

What do you do when a fork shows up in your road?
Do you pursue your passions? Or let fear dictate the course?
Allan Karl decided to follow his passion, and as he says, the decision was hard, but leaving was easy.
He went on to visit over 30 countries on a 3 year-long ride around the world. From the deserts of Sudan to the rainy roads of Brazil Allan has so many stories to share that we had to split the episode in half!
In today’s episodes we chat about some of his more stressful moments along the way, but make sure to check back on Thursday for the conclusion of his journey, and how he went around major publishers to publish his novel Forks: A Quest for Culture, Cuisine, and Connection.

Sometimes, you just have to take the leap.
As an entrepreneur, it can be hard not to strive for perfection on that first introduction to the world, but as Nate can tell you, it’s better to just jump right in.
Earlier this week Nate Buchanan regaled us with his first around the world journey, it’s planning and execution. Today he joins us to talk about his business.
Peanut Butter Printing.
We talk about getting started, how no one really knows what they’re doing, the daily grind, and of course, how peanut butter can help save the world.
This is Part 2 of Nate Buchanan week here on the podcast. Check out part 1 where we talked about his first crazy trip around the globe!
