Ashleigh and Ben have both been doing some traveling, and today’s conversation is all about sharing where they have been, the people they connected with and what they learned about themselves and other cultures in the process. Sometimes going to new places and trying new things requires us to step out of our comfort zones, to open our minds to experience the world around us in new ways. Whether you are trying medicinal plants for the first time, looking into the unusual perspective about water being a hazardous consumable or preparing yourself to eat fermented shark, it’s all about stepping outside of your convictions and being open to new ideas. In this episode, you will hear about breathtaking landscapes, the strong cultural heritage of the Icelandic, the awesome guests Ben got to record interviews with and a whole lot more!
