About this listen

 Nate Smith's post-Amherst journey literally reads like an epic. At the age of 26, he got in his car after work one day at the school where he had been teaching and kept on driving, never to return to the job. Instead, he embarked on a life-changing, sometimes harrowing road trip all the way from Maryland to Central America, living out of his car and taking odd jobs to survive. His journey reached a turning point when he had to sell his car and found himself homeless in Panama. With the help of the US Embassy, Nate made his way back home, bringing with him invaluable lessons about privilege and the importance of giving back. Today, Nate is married with two kids, and he has returned to teaching with a passion. He also hasn't lost his wanderlust; Nate works as an eighth-grade mathematics teacher in Vietnam. Join Nate and me as we delve into the memorable moments of Nate's life, his thoughts on humankind, and the lessons he has learned along the way. His experience is a testament to the strength of family, the importance of self-reflection, and the enduring impact of a supportive community. Plus, learn whom Nate wants me to interview next. You can email Nate at nathansmith.ghana@gmail.com.
