Special Guest, Jamey Glasnovic, is an atypical, laid-back adventure enthusiast. Jamey is motivated by his profound belief in the power of landscape. A sense of place and a desire to understand the connection all humans have to their surroundings are what compel Jamey to explore foreign cultures and unfamiliar terrain. In fact, Jamey contends that a dive bar in Kathmandu or Dar es Salaam counts as a good day out. Jamey shares from his third book, Everything Is Poa: One Man’s Search for Peace and Purpose in East Africa. (Poa means “good” in Swahili.) Jamey discusses the misadventures on his bicycle along with the warm and generous people he met along the way.
