AYA NAKAMURA is a Malian singer-songwriter from Bamako who comes from a griot family of West African poets and storytellers. She now lives in France, recently performed at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and is currently the most listened to French language female artist in the world, with over a billion views on YouTube and over a billion streams on Spotify.  I first encountered her music in a club in Senegal in 2019 and have been a huge fan ever since.  Listen to Aya Nakamura on Spotify.

UNBOUND MERINO’S RELAXED MERINO TRAVEL PANTS have been a game changer. Ultralight and super comfortable, these bi-stretch twill pants hold their shape to look and feel great for every travel occasion. Made from premium Italian Merino wool, they are temperature regulating and do not retain odor.  For the last decade, 90% of my wardrobe has been Merino wool, but I’d never been able to find great Merino wool pants until now!  Check out the Relaxed Merino Travel Pants and all the gear by Unbound Merino.

BOBI WINE: THE PEOPLE’S PRESIDENT is a gripping documentary that charts the inspiring activism of Bobi Wine, the pop star-turned-politician seeking to end Uganda’s brutal dictatorship. Rising from the slums of Kampala, Bobi begins to use his music to call out corruption, then becomes an Independent Member of Parliament, and eventually challenges President Museveni, an autocratic tyrant who has held power since 1986. Bobi and his wife Barbie choose to risk their careers, their family, and their lives to try and bring democracy to their country, but the state is determined to silence them and anyone who supports their cause. Watch the trailer.

Last week I interviewed Jordan Campbell over a bottle of wine and pulled out some wild and often hilarious travel stories.  You’ll hear about local pub encounters in Alaska, extortion in Panama, hitting 30 foot waves en route to Antarctica, fake swimming pigs in the Bahamas, the majestic beauty of Iceland, wine tasting in the Basque Country, having her dog kidnapped by the mafia in Naples, and exploring the demilitarized zone on he border of North and South Korea.  Listen here on your favorite platform.

It would really mean a lot to me if you could leave an honest rating and review for the podcast here. I read every one personally and it really helps out the show. Thank You!
