Metamo Travel
05/06/21 • 34 min
Deep in a bustling and vibrant market in Nigeria, Jenna Adeleke shares a transformational moment in her life. In an instant, she knows just what she will do. The humanity, the energy, and the vibrant colors permeate her very being. Jenna would never be the same. The story really begins in America when she first meets and makes an instant connection with the love of her life, "Leke." In this episode, Jenna travels to Nigeria to meet her African family for the very first time. She is blown away by the love, the warm hospitality, and the genuine connections she makes with her new family. Jenna's passion for her 3 trips to Africa is contagious. She tells stories ranging descriptions of the culture, the food, to the brilliant colors everywhere. Sit back and relax and enjoy - if this doesn't make you want to go to Africa to experience the culture and life there, nothing probably will.

We pick up where we left off on Greg’s epic journey across the continent of Africa. On this week’s episode, Greg discusses his time in the Central African Republic. He makes his way from Zongo to Bangui across the Ubgangi River (after having to bribe to get there). Then, he escapes a curious kid holding a long screwdriver who kept following him, and runs into a motorcade with the country’s infamous self-proclaimed former Emperor Jean-Bédel Bokassa. All in search of a cholera shot to get back out of the country.

Travel is with all of us as a fundamental part of being human. On our journey we occasionally come to bridges. We stop in the middle sometimes and look around, watch the water flow by, gaze at the trees and the sky, and look to the other side. This "Intermission" Episode lies between what was and what will be. We look to the side where we came from during Season 1. We look to the horizon on the other side. As much as we like to think we know what it will be like, we don't. Stay to the end and we'll walk together off the bridge and travel on. Let's leave it up to fate, adventure, the people we will meet, and what is far greater than ourselves.

A few random moments walking in Africa. From the tent to the main dining area unaccompanied by a Maasai guard makes you look extra closely for any sign of movement. Hornbills in Kileleshwa. A Maasai Warrior discusses the process of taking on another wife. And another. And another. A chance meeting at Ace hardware (although it's hard to meet a Maasai Warrior there). This 35th Episode of the Metamo Podcast is a bridge of sorts - like the monkey bridges over the Lunga Lunga Road near Diani Beach, south of Mombasa, Kenya. A bridge to other side of something. You just want to land in an aisle seat or perhaps a window seat, to be able to get more sleep. It is always a toss up. Get that glass of wine or cup of tea, take that walk or get on the treadmill. Relax friend and we'll see you inside the podcast (and again on the other side).

Birds are special creatures. While there are no bees in this episode, there are cheetahs. How about you....Do you have a spirit animal? And how about a spirt bird? On this episiode we visit again with our dear friends David and Ronah. We give them a surprise quiz to see if we can stump them. We then go on a story safari with them to hear of a couple wildlife adventures from the field and beyond. Get your binoculars and get ready for white bellied go-a-way birds, lilac breasted rollers, and of course, king fishers and more!

The winds of travel can blow you all the way around the world and back again. And again and again. They can take you to a cafe in Uttar Pradesh or on a wild rickshaw race from Rajasthan to Kerala in India. It can take you to a fashion show in Nairobi where you have to piece together your 'best' traveling clothes into the best combination you can comically muster up. You end up on a boat off of Lamu Island fishing with string line for lunch along the mangroves and getting sea sick only to remember it, with time, as one of your favorite traveling experiences as predicted by a wise Swedish woman at the time. Or perhaps the winds carry you to Mexico where serendipity and fate of our times lead you to teach English for a year and write a book with someone you met in a the cafe back in Uttar Pradesh. Importantly, travel gives you a deeper and richer perspective on life and a warm appreciation of home.

When travel gets in your blood, watch out. Life will never be the same. 9 to 5's exist in that other world far away - you toss up grass blades to test the wind more often. If the wind is blowing toward the southern hemisphere, you may travel in that direction. When it blows north, you are inclined to follow it back. The wind might even blow you to a German bakery in Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges River in India. You heard about this bakery from other travelers also following the wind. You order, of all things, penne pasta. You are seated next to someone you've never met before. You end up writing a book together. The winds of travel.
