Should I be an explorer‪?‬ Alhan’s World

    • Personal Journals

As Covid restrictions ratchet up again, Alhan begins to wonder if there’s more to this world than boat parties and Twitch streaming. Could it be possible that there’s an entire world outside of north London, just waiting to be found? Like Frodo Baggins leaving the shire, Alhan Gençay is determined to set out and see the world.
He hollers Ed Stafford, a survivalist and explorer who spent two and a half years walking the entire length of the Amazon river. Then he speaks to world-renowned poet Paul Hamilton, who helps Alhan explore the deepest, dirtiest, and smelliest crevices of his soul with poetry. Finally, Alhan talks to intrepid psychonaut Shane Mauss, an American comedian who explores other dimensions using psychedelic drugs.
