If you're interested in bettering your communication skills, this is the episode you do not want to miss.

Carol Bemis gives a lovely interview about her decision to help the homeless population in her hometown of Santa Barbara California. She was interested in Singapore for a long time and when her travel agent made the trip possible, it changed her life.

Richard Große was a lovely guest at the hostel I volunteered at in Cabarete. Him and I hung out almost everyday and went surfing together most mornings. He stayed at the hostel for almost a month so I got to know him pretty well. He was gracious enough to allow me to interview him on the beach when he wasn't feeling well enough to surf. He is well-traveled and a very independent and grounded individual. If you're a surf nerd like us, you're going to want to tune in.

These young guys from Germany were just trying to do a volunteer job in Puerto Rico for a few months and explore the Caribbean. They had an incredible trip planned that was immediately altered when they got thrown in jail once arriving in Puerto Rico. All because they had the wrong visa. Listen to this episode to get a taste of what can happen to even the most unassuming European travelers at American boarders.

This episode is a combination of two conversations I was able to record in the middle of the protest during China's National Day in the Causeway Bay neighborhood of Hong Kong. In this hectic day filled with chants, vandalism, strong political views, closed businesses & trains and a very strong sun, I was able to walk up to people and see why they were there and what change they wanted to see from the government. Thankfully these women were willing to chat with me for a while and give me their opinions on the political status in Hong Kong. This is truly an episode like no other.
