Having lived 75% of his life so far as an expat, he has a unique and insightful view on travel, culture, and languages - he's even set up his own language-learning company called LiveLingua where you can get online tutoring for your language of choice.\xa0\n\nIn the episode, we discuss growing up as a 3rd culture child (and what that means!), the importance of small things in culture, being more comfortable in foreign countries, volunteering in the Peace Corps, adventure camping on the Great Wall of China, why Morocco is so special, the Inca Trail and watching clouds flow like rivers, an insightful look on the benefits of second languages, and more!\xa0\n\nRay Blakney\n\nAll of the above, we discuss in the first 15 minutes.
