This very first show is gonna be a sit-down with a very dear friend of mine from New Zealand.
His name is Dan, and he’s a young veteran from the New Zealand Army. He’s been deployed to places like Afghanistan and Papua New Guinea.
After spending several years in the military, he decided to get out and go to South East Asia. He roamed around there for over a year with just a backpack. In this interview, he talks about life as a diving instructor, and he also has some wild stories like being chased by gangsters in Thailand, and going on a motorcycle road-trip through Vietnam.
This being the first episode, it’s not perfect. There’s background noise and some RF noise from one of our phones in the recording, and I’m a awkward and messy at times in moving the show along. This whole thing is a learning process for me, so stick with it, it will get better with each episode, I promise.
