The Nostalgic Vagabond and Marian Pudimat reminisce about when they met at a youth hostel in San Francisco way back in 2009. Their adventures took them on a wilderness walking weekend in Yosemite National Park in California and immediately onto a Pacific Coast road trip with another new companion from Santa Cruz to Santa Barbara.
Good old days... Good fun days... Good beer days...
During the call to Germany, Allan asks about Marian's work, study, and travel life and discovers that he has been to every continent, except Antarctica. This was always one of Marian's goals, to visit every continent before he finished his studies. But it took a bachelor's in economics and then years studying to become a doctor to find enough time to achieve his ambitions.
Persistence pays.
