The music we feature this week is from the Ottawa indie Band Tindervox. You can download and listen to their latest self-titled EP” here!
We met up with Mike Spencer Bown, who has just completed 23 years of travelling to more then 195 countries around the world. The amazing thing about him and hanging out with him is that you can name any city in the world and he probably has a story about it. We spoke about:
– How the media got ahold of his story
– What does he like to do when he is in Ottawa?
– Lieutenants Pump is his favorite pub in Ottawa
– Our public transport can be upgraded
– How did he start out on his trek
– He has used the same backpack the entire time!
– Did he take a lot of photos or carry anything of value?
After the break we discussed:
– How does he afford to do all of this??
– Was he ever found in a disaster zone or terrible weather?
– His time in IRAQ/IRAN
– His worst boat ride
– The most foolish thing a fellow traveller asked a tour guide
– Where has he stayed the longest
–
Here is a clip of Tindervox playing at the Avant Garde, enjoy:
