In this Episode: Alan Greene and Cheryl Greene share their experience at The Pavilions, an off-the-grid luxury resort in Nepal that is staffed by trained workers who were once impoverished.

In this Episode: Alan and Cheryl Greene talk about why they are going to Nepal, One Heart Worldwide, and beating jet lag.
In this episode: We talk about what we've learned during our time in Africa -- the balance of nature, the imbalance of Western culture, eating while on vacation and the secret of NOT gaining weight (even when we ate all we wanted to eat).
In this episode: We travel from the Serengeti back to Dar es Salaam -- via the scenic route. Followed by a lifetime-memorable evening at Jane Goodall's home where we learned first hand that she's the real deal! We talked politics, the environment and her next big adventure. Spending our final time in Africa at Oyster Bay.
In this Episode: We go on a Safari walk with a Massai guide. We learn about the medicinal qualities of plants and elephant dung. Yep, dung. We go to a Maasai Village and learn about becoming a Maasai warrior – this may not go well for the boy. And becoming a Maasai elder – this may not go well for his wife. We are exhausted, but we can rest when we get home, this is a once in a lifetime experience.
In this episode: We go on a night safari. We hear the sounds of nature, track nocturnal animals and have an opportunity to lean into the night for a rare unobstructed look at the vastness of all that's beyond us. We share about giraffe stories and discuss the Internet of Plants.
In this episode: Rumbles in the night (elephants and Cheryl's tummy), a nine-hour, very bumpy safari with no bathrooms (thank you DiaResQ), and being part of the great Wildebeest migration. The vastness of the Serengeti during the day and the night sky brings home the place of humans on earth -- we are not the center of it all, even though we use a disproportionate amount of the earth's resources. The earth isn't here just for us!
In this episode: We leave Gombe Stream after an amazing experience -- "Being with the chimps was utterly otherworldly-magical and gave a deeper sense of what it means to be human." Travel in Africa remains exciting with an even smaller plane and airport. We almost miss the runway, but get to see African wildlife from low altitude as a result. Our new home in Buffalo Camp in the Serengeti has a 24/7 guard with an elephant gun (don't worry, no elephants are harmed). Cheryl struggles with her Swahili word for the day, but it's still Nzuri - a perfect day.
In this episode: We visit another Tacare community and learn about what makes them successful. We spend the afternoon in the jungle with the current ruling chimp group, the "G" family. We find out how much like the Game of Thrones the jungle really is after bushwhacking our way through the dense undergrowth of the Gombe Stream National Park. Bill shares chimp insights that apply to us as we watch a mother and baby chimp play in the treetops. It's a good day to be a chimp.
In today's episode: We travel by bus, plane and boat to get to Gombe Stream National Park in time for sunset and the rising of a full moon. Along the way we see beautiful turquoise water, the massive "empty" interior of Tanzania, and the African Great Lake of Tanganyika. We are introduced to Tacare – the Jane Goodall Institute's very successful community building and reforestation project and we meet world renowned baboon researcher, Anton Collins.
In this episode: We meet join a Roots and Shoots club in Zanzibar and plant trees together and Cheryl has an epiphany. We venture into the heart of Zanzibar and have dinner under the stars. The electricity goes off, but it doesn't make a difference.
In this episode: We made weight! There is no place on earth like Zanzibar. Alan meets “#1 professional”. Traveling with wildlife photographer and videographer Bill Wallauer and Kristin Moshe is like getting the director's cut on life. Dinner is a three hour event. Jet lag hits while waiting. It was magical.
In this episode we meet Freddy Kimaro, Executive Director of JGI Tanzania and Merlin van Lawick, one of Jane Goodall's grandsons. We visit Pugu Forest where we learn about the importance of eating together and we break Alan! Sadly, this doesn't bode well for the rest of the trip.
In this episode we talk about our in-air adventures including the shift from San Francisco, through Zurich and emerging in Dar es Salaam. Along the way we meet some very colorful characters and find some tiny sandwiches. I discuss a new study that explains why we find ourselves standing in a room asking "now what was it I came in here to get?" And scene.
In this episode, we pack for the trip of a lifetime -- to meet Jane Goodall and the Gombe chimpanzees. We discuss how the unexpected trip came about, how we prepared, and what we're packing. If you've ever wondered what a doctor takes along for remote international travel, you don't want to miss this episode.
