SHOW GUESTS:

This month we welcome Michnus and Elsebie Olivier from PikiPiki Overland as our guests. They joined us from their home in South Africa.

TOPICS:

Protecting your Bling (Valuables)

Do you have duplicates? Do you hide them? What do you do with valuables when you want to go for a hike or out with friends? Do you leave things at a hotel? What things do you think you need to guard? How do you avoid being on a thief’s radar or getting yourself in a bad situation? Tips for all this.

Dealing with Corrupt Officials

Stories and ideas on dealing with ornery or corrupt officials in foreign countries. How do you know how far you can push or when that will get you in more trouble? Are there times you will change plans to avoid situations altogether? Consequences you may have had to deal with because of corrupt officials - delays, repercussions, etc.
