The Radio Vagabond

The stated goal of Gawad Kalinga (GK) is to bring five million Filipino families out of poverty by 2024. I will spend two days in their The Enchanted Farm, which is much more than just agriculture. They have a wide range of social entrepreneurship projects, and there is also a university in the place where young people from poor families to educate themselves for free via scholarships.

I also meet Rafael Dionisio, the founder and leader of MAD Travel, which arranges trips to Gawad Kalinga's many projects.

After some challenges being allowed to board the plane from Dubai, I have now arrived in Manila in the Philippines. It is a really hectic city I've landed in. Join me when I visit China Town, drive in the chaotic traffic, and when I help to mix cement in the slum for some of the houses, that the organisation Gawad Kalinga is building. Houses, that are going to stand, even when the many typhoons hit the country. And one of them is on its way right now.

I'm still in Dubai and in this episode you can follow me to the old market. Also I get to talk to an Islam woman from London about the difference about the western and Islamic culture. And then I need to leave the country and that showed out to be a bit more difficult than expected.

I have left Abu Dhabi but stayed in the United Arabic Emirates. I checked into an Airbnb in the Marina in Dubai. It feels central but it's still 30 kilometres from the centre of Dubai with Burj Khalifa. Listen to my experiences in Dubai, visiting The Jumeirah Mosque that also have what they call The Sheik Muhammad Center for Cultural Awareness. They do the daily event called "Open doors. Open minds." Here we can ask about everything. At Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall I see the biggest mall in the world and the highest building in the world. I got to see a fountain show where the water dances to the music. Also Burj Khalifa was lighting up as well. LINKS: The Jumeirah Mosque.

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the Emirates and by far the biggest and the richest of the 7 Emirates. The city itself is smaller than Dubai, but they have the most oil and therefore the most money, even though you can't call Dubai poor. I met a fellow Dane, Peter Falck, and he's one of the many non-emirates who lives and works in the UAE. In fact, 80% of the residents in the Emirates are expats. Not locals. Peter moved there five years ago and agreed to take me for a drive around the city to tell me more about what kind of place this is.

I jumped on the train from Budapest, arrived at Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia to check into a hostel. I had a few concerns about the decision to stay at a youth hostel. Like, would I feel too old compared the the 20-something backpackers and how would it be to stay in a dorm without my private space? But most of all I wanted the experience to see if this would be a good way to meet new friends. And it was. In this episode I meet Perry from California, Dries and Thijs from Belgium and Max, Rachel and Jason from Australia. I also have a chat with one of the locals, Roman Flebo about the Soviet times, about his encounters with the Russian Mafia and about life in Bratislava in general. Enjoy.

I've arrived to the capital of Hungary, Budapest, that really is a city in two parts: Buda and Pest on each side of the Danube river. Budapest is a wonderful place with Michelin restaurants, the Famous Szimpla Ruin Bar, lots of life and tons of tourists. You can hear about my computer problems, and my struggle to fix them, join me on a road trip west of the city, and to the museum "The House of Terror" that tells the story of the gruesome Hungarian history with the Nazis and the Soviets. Also you can hear about the different Hungarian language. It's difficult for us to say "Budapest" and for them to say thinks like "Palle". LINK This is where I stayed. Free Walking Tour in Budapest.

I've arrived in Belgrade and I've decided to stay a little longer in Serbia. Partially to digest the many impressions I've been bombarded with since I left Denmark 6-7 weeks ago and partially to get the time to work a little. Belgrade is the city that was bombed by NATO in 1999 and this is something still very clear in the Serbs memory. While it was happening, they gathered on the bridges to protect them while they partied with live music. I talk to a Serb about this. You will also join me on a trip to Novi Sad with three Australian backpackers and my Airbnb host Miloš. I became good friends with Miloš and his wife Marija. We were, among other things, to a concert together, and then we watched the Olympics water polo final and basketball together in their garden. I didn't have great expectations to Belgrade but it turned out to be an amazing city and especially the Serbs won my heart. LINKS:I lived in this apartement in Belgrade. I can definitely recommend it - especially the hosts Marija & Miloš.

In this episode you'll join me when I was interviewed about radio and my life as a traveller and digital nomad, and got a few surprising questions. On top of that one of the articles had a headline that was just plain wrong. In addition, I talk to the Macedonian woman, Afrodita about what kind of country Macedonia really is.

This is the first part out of two episodes about my experiences in Skopje in Macedonia – or as you'd sometimes refer it as: The Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia, which is a name the Macedonians aren't too fond of. In this episode you can hear about my first feel of the city. The city centre is characterized by statues, monuments and beautiful buildings in a Greek and roman style. But it's almost too much. And then it's been really expensive. I talk with journalist Zoran Richliev who is a part of Balkan Investigative Reporting Network. He is one of the few critical journalists in the country and he has been a part of the making of a comprehensive report about the renewal of the city that has taken place in the last 4-5 years. And he isn't too happy with what's going on. Among other things, we talk about the Colourful Revolution. LINKS: Skopje 2014 Uncovered – Rapport fra B.I.R.N.
