The Radio Vagabond

It is exactly twenty years after the tragic events in Manhattan, New York. And since I was there a few days before the anniversary and stayed at an Airbnb that was there when the Twin Towers came down, I decided to make a special episode for us all to remember how it affected our worlds.

BIENVENIDO DE NUEVO A MEXICO When I  last spoke  to you, I was mid-hike with Luis through to the Lastanzuela waterfalls. As we continue traversing the slippery landscape on our hike, I ask Luis about his favourite part about living in Monterrey.  "The best part is that you can be in the city and you can also go hiking. Monterrey means 'mountain kingdom'. You have a lot to do here."    That's certa...

Thankfully my host spoke English, but I was looking forward to practising m...

A sporting event that happened every Saturday night making up a very important part of San Antonio culture.   I was lucky enough to be i...

Welcome to the second half of my drive in Texas with my old buddy, Paul Weyland. We're in the hill country north of Austin, and Paul will tell me a lot of interesting stories about this area, Austin, and Texas in general.
