  • Amazing!!!

    This has quickly become one my favorite podcasts! Love all the different stories and kinds of people interviewed. Even more-I love the light hearted while still probing approach Gabriel uses on his interviews, and his totally celebratory and nonjudgmental take on his interviewees’ stories. And-of course, a big thanks to his wife for allowing him/supporting him/doing the heavy lifting while he spends time on the podcast!

ABT039. Connecting Africa with Purpose
Q: How did you get the idea to launch this project?
I wanted to spotlight how development is achieved on the continent and change the narrative around local initiatives.

We don't have a final destination, as such. Actually, we wanted to come to Central Asia, but we are here and we still have time.
ABT036. Finding a Place in the Wild
Q: Did you go out and buy a rowboat the very next day?
Not quite, no. The slightest movement on a boat and I get very travel sick. But yeah, I, of course, could chase those same feelings and similar experiences with bikepacking.
