    Episode 4 (Quarantine Series) - Simon Willis from Irresponsible to Responsible Traveller, moving to Colombia and starting a Travel Company.

    Simon Willis originally hails from the UK but has been living in Medellin, Colombia for years.  Simon found a way to merge his knowledge of travel with his extensive experience in international education to form Kagumu Adventures. As a qualified journalist, teacher, and ski instructor, he travelled through five continents, writing, teaching, skiing and developing new ideas to impact tourism in a positive way. This is a new format we are trying out during the COVID19 Quarantine shutdowns around the world. In light of these restrictions we are being a bit creative rather then putting everything on hold. Interviews are shorter and recorded via zoom.   Get in touch with Simon and Kagumu Adventures:  Website: https://www.kagumuadventures.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kagumuadven...
