The Radio Vagabond

I'm moving from At. Louis to Memphis, where rock'n'roll was born. Join me in a conversation with my Couchsurfing hosts, to Sun Studios, Beal Street and Graceland. Here I make myself unpopular when I tell them that I come from Randers, Denmark, hvor my friend Henrik Knudsen has made a replica of Graceland.

In St. Louis I spend a lot of time in their wonderful Forrest Park. An outdoor movie theatre, musical, the best zoo in The United States and then I try to go to the art museum there. Twice.  Also, I go to the top of The Gateway Arch and eat Ted Drewes Custard.  In this episode, I also share the story of how I told a lie to the owners of the house I'm taking care of when the dog ran away after I se...

I decided to drive down to New Orleans to celebrate 4th of July. As always there's a lot of music and life in Bourbon Street in The French Quarter. And then there was a guy offering tarot card readings.  On the way home to Natchez, I picked up a homeless woman.

In this episode from Natchez, Mississippi, I'm talking some more to my new English friend Jac's. We're housesitting three cats and became good friends the few days we spent together. Also. I talk to two locals, Forrest and James about running, alligator hunting, having an iron butt and life in Natchez - right in the middle of Trump Country. 

I've arrived in the Deep South in the United States and have started a new leg of my journey that will take me through 22 states. And my first stop is in the small historic city, Natchez in Mississippi. Here I meet Jac's and together we go to a cotton farm, an antebellum house, and a gospel sermon where I make a complete fool of myself.

In this final episode from Grand Bahama, I give you a bit of everything.  I'm telling you more about the place I stay, I speak to two guys that also live here - and walks past me several times every night. And then we're going scuba diving with Caribbean Divers  and to a small place by the beach to eat conch. Enjoy. 

On Grand Bahama I decided to go swimming with dolphins with the company UNEXSO. It was an amazing experience. Now I found out that it is very wrong to do this, partly because of the way they are being captured and the way they are kept in captivity.  Join me on the experience, and then listen to my conversation with Gail Woon from Grand Bahama. She used to be a dolphin trainer at UNEXSO. Today she...

When Len Hindley came to Grand Bahama in 1968 it was love at first sight. He created a big construction company and a good life. During that time he has witnessed the island change a lot.  I met him at a Rotary meeting where I was asked to do a talk about my journey. 

On Grand Bahama I got to know Roger. He's born and raised in The Bahamas and moved here from the nation's capital, Nassau in 1967. So he knows the island better than most people.  Even though he's Bahamian he sounds very English. So much that it has given him problems over the years. Listen to his story, life on the island, how he saw Hurricane Mathew and much more.

In this episode, I'm traveling from Montreal, Canada to Freeport, Bahamas. And I was too late for my short flight from Ft. Lauderdale in Florida to Grand Bahama.  Join me, as I try to make it. I also meet a couple of young people from LGBT, trying to raise awareness of the need for equality for these minorities.  Then I finally make it to "sunny Bahamas" and it turned out to be not quite as sunny....

Montreal is the most populated city in Quebec and the second-most populated in Canada. Only Toronto is bigger.  However Montreal doesn't feel like a big city. On my first day there, I rented a bike and went downtown to the beautiful old centre by the river. Here I talk to an aboriginal from Bear Klan.  I also meet three of the locals, Brigitte, Bruno and Anne-Marie.  And then you get the story of...

I left Toronto and have headed east to the French-speaking Quebec region. Here I will visit two cities and I start in Quebec City - a quiet laid back smaller city.  In Quebec City, I rented a single room on Airbnb - in the basement of Marc's house. He's another cool laid back guy that I feel lucky to get to meet.  If you're going to Quebec City you should consider staying with him.  Find it here ....

In this, final episode from Toronto, I speak to five of the locals about what the best and the worst part about living here is.     

On my last day in Toronto, I meet one of the locals, Paul Lam. It's like history repeats itself - the same thing happened in Chiang Mai in January, where Paul arrived just as I was leaving.  Paul is an inspiring cool entrepreneur, mindset coach, and digital nomad. He published an ebook about being held at gunpoint and how it changed his life. You can get it here . Also, he's also a podcaster with...

In this episode, I take a drive down to Niagara Falls and the cozy little vacation town, Niagara-On-The-Lake.  On my way I pass a big wine district, and stop by one of them, to find out if Canada really is able to produce decent wine. And they are.  The one I've landed at is one of the biggest, Trius Winery , and I have a chat with their wine expert Takahiro Iida. In this episode, I'll also take y...

My good friend, Steve from Toronto had invited me to Major League Baseball. Being a Dane where this game practically doesn't exist, this was my first baseball game ever. So I had to Google the rules the night before so I wasn't completely ignorant when I showed up. You can join me as Toronto Blue Jays welcome Tampa Bay Rays - please supply your own beers and hotdogs. I'm also visiting another radi...

In Toronto I found at a wonderful Airbnb in Roncesvalles, just 30 minutes in the streetcar to downtown.  See it by clicking here . My Airbnb hosts Paco and Hannah are both full time musicians. In this episode I talk to Hannah about their life here, her music and much more.  Check out Hannah's website  here.   The music in this episode is used after permission from the artist Hannah Burgé .     

I've left Asia and via Dallas and Washington DC, I've traveled to the other side of the planet. It's got 11 hours time difference so it's almost as far on the other side, as you can possibly get.  I've landed in Toronto Canada, and am now ready to start on the North American continent.  In this first of 6 episodes from Toronto, you meet Mike. He's born and raised in Canada but has Danish parents. ...

When I was in the Tokyo area, I sat down with my Airbnb host Gab and my two daughters. Gab is an Englishman, and he's lived there for a number of years.  My daughters and I decided to do a Top 3 of what to see in Tokyo. This is where we stayed in Yokohama: Click here .

Japan is very clean, it's rude to be on your phone in the train, the Japanese are very polite, there's a lot of cuteness in the country, it's difficult to get wifi in Tokyo, and everything in Japan is different than in any other Asian country. These are myths that I'm testing with my daughters, Amanda and Clara in this episode.   

Flying in and out of Japan turned out to be a bit of a logistical challenge.  Japan is the last country of my journey where I'm traveling with my daughter - and here I will have both my daughters by my side.  But first, we needed to get on two flights, one metro, two busses, one taxi and one train. And so much can go wrong. Just one small obstacle would crash the whole plan.  But we're also going...

Jeju Island is a volcanic island 80 miles off the coast of the Korean Peninsula, and one of the so-called "New 7 Wonders of Nature". So we just had to see this.  Right after landing we run into problems. Join us as we try to climb a mountain, meet an American girl and talk to one of the locals, that has moved from the big city to the countryside.  

After North Korea our next stop was the second half of what used to be one country. But today it's a very different place.    I'm still traveling with my daughter, Clara, and we've arrived to South Korea. We've decided to visit two places in this country, but first another big city - the capital Seoul.    We meet one of the locals, Dong Mi Lee, Editor in Chief for Time Out Seoul for a talk about t...

I took my daughter to North Korea - or as they call themselves: Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. In this episode, you can join us to a crazy dictatorship where the supreme leaders are seen as demi-gods.  At the border both me and my daughter are getting the big search, we meet the locals and visit many of the biggest attractions in the capital, Pyongyang. The DPRK is a very interesting place...
