Here be the folk I acquainted in the 5th largest country in the world (with more people than all the other nations in South America combined), the enormous land mass that is Brazil.

  • Flying Doctors and the Migration of the Wildebeest

    This week in East Africa, I discover two sides to a coin. The luxury, beauty and exotic wildlife of the ultimate safari, complete with butlers, five-star tents, and the migration of the wildebeest. In Nairobi, a different story, as I take to the air with the Flying Doctors, participating in a medical evacuation, and seeing the human cost of violence.
