For over 30 years, Bob McGurty has worked in leadership, missions, nonprofit development, coaching, and cross-cultural ministry—living in the United States, United Kingdom, Bangladesh, and India. He currently serves as Executive Director of Calcutta Mercy, a nonprofit focused on feeding, educating, and medically assisting people in India.

He describes himself more as a mentor, networker, and storyteller than anything else and enjoys sharing meaningful experiences, lessons learned, and honest conversations—usually with a little humor mixed in.

Over time, his personal journey became the foundation for a new coaching and speaking platform called Rickshaw Journey, centered around the idea of “finding your voice.” After decades of leadership, ministry, successes, failures, reinvention, and reflection, he has become passionate about helping people—especially men in the second half of life—rediscover purpose, authenticity, and legacy.

The airports in question:

• Milwaukee
• Atlanta

Delays, Boarding, Cancellation, Weather, Breakdowns, Misinformation

Ever been last to board?

Ever ran to catch a plane before the door closes?

A short story of ridiculousness, but it could happen to anyone, however this scenario is highly unlikely.

Safe travels everyone.

A Brit living in Australia, Christine Smith, also known as The Food Granny, travels with a different kind of passport, one that gets her invited into kitchens rather than just across borders.

From sitting in village kitchens learning generational recipes, to discovering unexpected delicacies in places most travellers overlook, her journeys are driven by curiosity and connection rather than checklists.

Food has taken her off the beaten track and into experiences that most tourists simply do not see.

Briana Gervat is a historian, photographer, and an author who recently published her memoir, There Will Come Soft Rains: A Journey Along the Western Front.

She is the first woman to walk the "Western Front Way" solo.

In 2022, just as the world began to open after the isolation of a global pandemic, Briana Gervat set out to walk the length of the Western Front. Beginning at the border that France shares with Switzerland she went into the wild in search of hope and in search of peace. For 500 miles, she climbed over the mountains of the Vosges, through the battle-scarred landscapes of Verdun, the Marne, and the Somme, all the way to the North Sea in Belgium. It was not only a journey of 36 days, but a journey through a period of history that we have learned nothing from, only how not to repeat it.

It is the story about what it means to walk through the remnants of history to feel its reverberations, to listen to its echoes, and with hope, to learn something along the way.he way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Very commendable and throught-provoking.

Belinda Coker is an Australian hiker, writer, and educator who helps men and women in midlife, reclaim freedom through practical, real-world adventure.

After years of building businesses and raising three children, she turned to hiking to find space and perspective, completing multi-day solo treks from Australia’s rugged Red Centre to a solo crossing of Greenland in the Arctic Circle.

Along the way, she founded Soul Treader, a platform supporting men and women to safely push their limits through adventure. Building on that philosophy, she later created The House Sitting Collective, teaching responsible, flexible travel that is safe, organised, and built on trust.

Belinda has also worked with local communities in Malawi and Zambia on self-funded clean-water projects, bringing safe water closer to villages where women once walked hours each day.

A lipedema advocate, she encourages everyone to keep moving and exploring, no matter their body shape or size.
