  • #109 Pilgrimage, Purpose & the Places That Change Us - With Douglas Brouwer

    #109 Pilgrimage, Purpose & the Places That Change Us - With Douglas Brouwer
    Jun 18 2025
    For the first time on the Globetrotters Podcast, we’re joined by a pastor — or rather, a former pastor. Douglas Brouwer spent 45 years in ministry across the U.S. and Europe, leading mission trips, cultural tours, and walking solo pilgrimages across Spain and Portugal. But this conversation goes beyond religion — into longing, identity, and what it really means to find home through travel. It’s a deeper, more reflective kind of episode — one that explores the spiritual side of movement in ways we haven’t before.

    #108 Unseen Tours: Redefining Travel Through Human Connection – With CEO Jasmine Awad
    Jun 4 2025
    Jasmine Awad is redefining walking tours through meaningful human connection. As CEO of Unseen Tours, she leads a social enterprise offering guided walks across the UK, led by people who have experienced homelessness. These tours combine storytelling, local history, and social insight to challenge perceptions, empower guides with paid work and new skills, and foster empathy through firsthand voices. We explore how travel can move beyond sightseeing to become a catalyst for understanding and change.

    May 28 2025
    Having visited more than 140 countries, Orest Zub knows a thing or two about travel. As managing partner at NomadMania, he’s helping lead a platform built for the world’s most dedicated travelers — one that breaks the globe into 1,300+ regions, verifies visits through a peer-reviewed system, and ranks members based on how deeply they’ve explored. We dive into what makes a place truly visited, how NomadMania builds real connection across borders, and why depth matters more than dots on a map.
