Well hey there travel fam! We're back just in time to close out the year with an intimate, unedited session from your favourite host, Kimono Jack. Not much more to say besides thank you for your patience and we'll talk again soon!
Welp.. 2 years are approaching quickly for us and the world is turning as fast as ever. Kimono Jack goes solo on this one to talk about the state of affairs and why it's still dope to be in this space with you all. If you want to skip the talk and go straight to the fun, grab your FREE ticket for our 2 year celebration at www.june19.eventbrite.com! Take care out there :)
Joining us today at the point is a literal trial-blazer, Tyler Lau aka The Prodigy (@hikingprodigy). His accomplishments in the hiking world are the stuff of legend, but his dedication to the outdoors, and taking up space are equally important. Sit in for a spell and learn some of the lessons he's encountered along his journey, and how he feels men of color can benefit from the outdoors as well. You won't want to miss this one!
The young man joining us today is no stranger to the platform. He was our second guest, and our first passport winner Cory J Adventures! Listen to all he's been up to since receiving his passport, and how he almost didn't make it back after his second trip abroad. Also check out his youtube channel Cory J Adventures as well as his IG for more travel content @coryj_adventures. Also in platform news, we'll be moving to a bi-monthly format, so we'll have more dope transformative travel stories for you in two weeks. Be safe and take care y'all!
Continuing our conversation from last week, David Andrade aka @thecousindave returns to conclude our chat.
