STORIES ON A SHOESTRING
Hosted by Scott G. Culbert, Matt Bauer, & Richard Idema
Stories on a Shoestring is a freeform, homegrown podcast recorded and produced by Scott, Matt, and Richie. Our mission driving the podcast is simple: to share the stories of the incredible people that we encounter traveling the world.
In this, we envision our show to be a means of breaking down cultural barriers and stigmas; to share with others the invaluable lessons and interactions that accrue on the road.

EPISODE 8- SOUTH AMERICA WRAP UP
Join in on the conversation as we sit on the beach in Mancora, Peru, and reflect on the many lessons we have learned throughout this travel experience. Marking the end of this trip, this conversation celebrates the friendships we have made along the way while summarizing the past month of us exploring several cities in Ecuador.
EPISODE 7- A CONVERSATION WITH PABLO FROM REAL CITY TOURS
Take a seat at the table with us and listen in to a great conversation with Pablo and Laura from Real City Tours in Medellin, Colombia. Epitomizing the definition of inspirational, Pablo has learned to follow his gut and discover his passions to live a truly fulfilling life. As an added bonus, Laura, Pablo's life and business partner, joins in to give valuable commentary and perspective while Pablo recounts important life lessons he's learned.
