Bridging The ContinentsNovember 20 2025 - Power Lines & Chance Encounters in MonroviaLocationMonrovia, LiberiaEpisode NotesOn this Thursday, November 20th, I found myself waiting for a call that never came—from the Ivory Coast embassy. I had expected some clarity on my visa situation, but instead I spent most of the day wandering around the hotel and taking in a few local sights.What truly defined the day, though, was an unexpected connection at breakfast. I ended up sitting next to a Dutch guy named Bram—one of those chance travel encounters that turn into something far more interesting than you expe...

With U PodcastAdventures in Africa: Tales from Our Unforgettable Trip to KenyaSometimes you need to just push way outside what’s normal in your life. We’ve gotten pretty comfortable traveling, but a recent trip to Africa really stretched and challenged us. We made mistakes (hello, visa expediting fee!), met amazing people, and ate stuff we will probably never eat again. Tara resurrected her fear of baboons, David learned to push a truck out of the mud with a leopard lurking nearby, and we both ended each day grateful to be in it together.

The China Africa ProjectThe Messy Politics of Building a Railway in Kenya With Chinese MoneyKenya's Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is the showcase in Africa for China's debt-led infrastructure development drive. While critics accuse China of saddling Nairobi with unsustainable levels of debt to build the rail line that goes from the port of Mombasa to the capital Nairobi and then on to Naivasha in the Rift Valley, the reality is actually a lot more complicated.
It turns out that Kenya lawmakers worked hard to circumvent their own laws, conceal the terms of the deal and, most likely, pocketed millions for themselves along the way.

Apparently, things got so bad that Chinese creditors halted disbursements for projects that are underway right now in Kenya.... bringing construction to a halt in some cases.

Instead, the new Nairobi Expressway is a public-private-partnership (PPP) where CRBC is putting up the money and in turn, will receive a long-term concession to recoup its investment before handing the road back to the Kenyan government. It's easy to see why a lot of people like this...
