Episode 32: The Winds of Travel - A Conversation with Chris McCaffrey Part 1

07/08/21 • 24 min

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.

Episode 31: Doors that Open to Insight & Pool Tables

Pool is like life in many ways. You can make a great shot but if you aren't planning for what comes next, or use the wrong or too much 'English,' ... watch out. 🎱
On this episode we travel from the smokey pool rooms of yesteryear to a most interesting room in India. We find a rich landscape of characters as we find ourselves in places and circumstances we were not supposed to be in but in reality we were. The hidden depths are like the pool balls that drop into the pockets and disappear into the abyss, only to show up on the others side (hopefully not joined by the cue ball). When we 'break' we hope for the best on this precarious if delicious journey across the landscape of travel like the top of the green felt of a pool table.
Namaste 🙏🏽

Episode 33: The Winds of Travel - A Conversation with Chris McCaffrey Part 2

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.
