Show Notes
Do you dream of doing a mega-bike trip? Is biking across the United States or Europe just not ambitious enough for you? Do you love repairing flat tires?
Then listen to Xavier Himma describe his epic bicycle trip from his home in Canada to southern Argentina. You learn:
- How many flat tires he got. (Try to guess now!)
- How a Latino tried to mug him while he was riding the bike!
- How close he got to getting run over.
- Why he calls his adventure "Follow the Hum of the Earth"
- How he skipped the Darrien Gap.
Watch his raw videos on his "Hum of the Earth" YouTube Channel. Here's one of them:

When we recorded the 46th WanderLearn podcast, Xavier recorded my voice too instead of just his. I cleaned it up in post-production, but there are times when you will hear my voice echo or the conversation seems clipped.
I'm gathering questions for my next AMA episode, so if you have questions, please send them to me as an audio clip at tapon.org/contact
Promoting Health Access Sumbawa
One of WanderLearn's top patrons, Kathy Kennedy Enger, asked me to draw attention to Health Access Sumbawa. I am happy to promote this remarkable nonprofit. In 2014, Jack Kennedy founded the organization to bring malaria control and healthcare to remote, impoverished communities. It started on the remote island of Sumbawa, Indonesia. Since then, it's expanded thanks to generous donations. Visit their website to learn more and to donate: https://healthaccesssumbawa.org
