Balijski Nowy Rok rozpoczyna się Dniem Ciszy. Poprzedza go jednak noc pełna hałasu, zamieszania i chaosu – parada złych demonów, która stanowi przeciwieństwo dnia spokoju i refleksji. Te groteskowe kukły, zwane Ogoh-Ogoh, ożywają i są animowane w ciemnościach nocy, którym towarzyszą wrzaski, okrzyki oraz dźwięk zderzających się instrumentów gamelanowych. Dołącz do nas w małej Balijskiej wiosce pod...

The Balinese new year begins with A Day of Silence. But it is preceded by a night of noise, disruption, and chaos – a parade of evil demons that counters the day of peace and reflection. These grotesque effigies, called Ogoh-Ogoh, come to life and are animated in the dark of night accompanied by screaming, yelling, and the clashing of gamelan instruments. Join us in a small village for the celebra...

My personal reflections on fitness and aging. I feel like I'm going through a transformation in health late in life, like nothing I expected or have ever experienced. It's all been great.

Why is health care in the USA the most expensive in the world? I recently had treatment for cancer in Germany and compare it to the same treatment I had in the USA seven years ago. And I'm going to elaborate in my discussion some of my ideas about why this is the case. Listen and comment.

This episode is best viewed on YouTube as a 360 immersive video. Click the link below. Use your device to look all around during this 360 video. We were in Jaipur, India in June 2024. This podcast episode is a little crazy since we shot the content but didn't look at it or edit for 4 months -- so the narration is impromptu. It's about 16 minutes long. https://youtu.be/ZT-iO6lbLJg

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Mateusz Nawrot, an adventurer traveler who has visited nearly 40 countries in 3 years. We first met Mateusz in June 2024, where he captivated an audience in Ostrów Wielkopolski, Poland, with stories from his travels, particularly to Japan. In this video, recorded on the rooftop of our apartment on October 1, 2024, Mateusz shares personal reflections on hi...

Davina Merrifield came to Bali from Northern California for a two week visit. This is her story on how she was affected by the island. We would love your comments good or bad about this episode and the Highway Tomorrow podcast. Thanks

Zibi and I had a great conversation with Dany Lyne about universal energy and where we as humans go with the flow. She had a series of life altering events, after the loss of a loved family member and voices from beyond. She emerged as a clairvoyant and has evolved into a unique healer of human trauma — whether that trauma be the shock of birth or the witnessing of genocide. Dany provides provocat...

Toby Haugeneder left his hometown in Bavaria, Germany over two years ago to bicycle around the world. 13,000 kilometers (8,000 miles) later, he sits down with Zibi and me to discuss travel, the world, prejudice, adventure, and flat tires. He has no definite future itinerary or time limits for finishing this journey. Join us to meet this adventure traveler.

David and I continue our conversation while on a train from Gelnhausen to Amsterdam. He details the work he does with disabled vets, helping them get the benefits and treatments they need and deserve. We discuss the mind set of returning vets, particularly after World War II when the media demanded heroes. If you are a vet needing help navigating disability benefits, contact David Lowen, Accredite...

I sit down with high school buddy David Lowen in a kebab restaurant in Gelnhausen, Germany. He was stationed here as a Vietnam-era vet, working in intelligence, and reveals some of the strategies and tactics employed on the front lines of the Cold War. We attempt to evaluate the current Russian-Ukraine situation and the possibility of that conflict expanding into Eastern Europe.

We have spent a month in Poland discussing with people their thoughts about the world situation, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the possibility of war. Poland offers home to the highest number of Ukrainians seeking asylum. In this episode, we distill our encounters. We welcome your comments.

We are in Zibi's home town of Ostrów Wielkopolski, Poland. I took this opportunity to ask him about how it feels to be back, to grow up here, life with his parents, the future, and let him expand on the meaning of family.

We are here in Poland for the month of June, and I am determined to learn me some Polish language. I've struggled to learn a language other than my native English, and these are some of my tips for success.

We continue our discussion over a pizza one night and figured everything out so you don't have to. Enjoy part 2, a 24 minute episode, on the nature of reality.

Today, I am sitting down with Gede Geswin to continue my ongoing exploration of fitness and health. He is one of the more conscientious personal trainers I have met here in Bali. Our conversation touches on aging, keeping an older population motivated, rehabilitation, and viewing fitness as an ongoing and enjoyable lifestyle focusing on quality of life. Gede speaks honestly about his past, his own...

Angel Island in San Francisco Bay was the Ellis Island of the west coast, the induction center for immigrates coming to America. However, its primary function was as a detention center for Chinese immigrants and later, Japanese POWs. I visited the center shortly before it was scheduled for massive renovation in 2005.

My personal reflection on gay vs straight in the modern world.
