Potcast 239: Belize It

On this first potcast of the new year, we’re traveling to Placencia, Belize, where we explore the traps of tourism, our relationship with nature and the importance of sharing that wisdom. We also discuss cannabis culture in Belize and what life is like for the locals. Our tour guide, Percy Gordon, was featured in Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures in 2005 and profiled in Esquire magazine in 2007. This experience in Belize and the time I spent with today’s guest enriched my life. One thing I know for sure is that interacting first-hand with different cultures is an important tool for connecting the dots and understanding both the truth and propaganda of the world we live in. Learn more about Belize and check out pictures and videos from my adventure in these show notes.
