As he explains on this episode, \u201cgetting told you have cancer is hard. Going through the treatment might be even harder. Getting back to life once it\u2019s all said and done, that might be the hardest thing of all. But travel has always made me feel free. Made me feel alive. And the stories it gave to me, well they weren\u2019t always the type of things I\u2019d tell my Mum. Then again, every corner of the world offered chances for me to heal. With every journey slowly putting me back together after my Leukemia diagnosis split my soul into a million pieces. There\u2019s a lot of cool sh*t in the world. I once found a squirrel inside a garbage bin in Washington DC. That\u2019s a bad example. But the point remains, I feel alive when I\u2019m traveling. So that\u2019s what I do. I\u2019m a storyteller. A tattooed traveler and teller of tales. Whether I\u2019m getting tattoos. Doing something I\u2019m proud of. Or something I should confess. I\u2019m no longer a cancer sufferer. And I\u2019m more than a cancer survivor. I am\u2026Inked and Abroad.\u201d","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/965b3dc0-1175-47e8-84e1-550687f5f764/avatars-000482365029-3oopfy-original.jpg"}
