Settle in and buckle up for a different kind of adventure this week as Doc sits down for a conversation with Justin Banmen, who specializes in Side Quests (around the world adventures with very little planning). Justin covers some serious ground with Doc, including the Denny's Marathon, dump truck hitches in India, sketchy street food in the Stans, airport hammocking, borrowed rain boots, gap years, and a delusional confidence that gets Justin in and out of pretty much any situation. Epic. (This is Part I. Be sure to listen to Part II.)
