World-traveler and master chef Marnix talks Rock N Roll Photography, LSD, DMT, and cocaine on his adventures in Nepal, Australia, and Papua new Guinea. About this episode This episode is fine on its own, but I recommended you first listen to the previous episode to get the full context of what we’re talking about. We cover several subjects in this episode, including: Photography In this episode I’ll continue my interview with Marnix. We talk about photography, so if you’re into that, you’re going to love this one. We get a bit technical and we talk about different camera body-styles (mirrorless, DSLR), and lenses. Marnix has a cool way of making photos, he calls it “Rock ‘n Roll photography”, and I feel it’s a good moniker. He goes out in the middle of the night with his camera, and sometimes trespasses to take some good photos. Fun camera-geek stuff, and adventure stories. LSD, DMT, cocaine, and the effects Later on we get into the mind-altering substances that Marnix took on his trip and how it lead to some revelations. We talk about LSD, DMT, and the effects they have. You’ll enjoy this part if you’re interested in psychedelic drugs and the way they change the way you think. Travel adventures There are also some good stories involving romance, spontaneous hippie festivals in the middle of the woods in Nepal, and the night he brought half an orchestra into a penthouse hotel suite in Melbourne, Australia (party like a rock-star). We also delve deeper into his adventures with the tribes in Papua new Guinea (more about this in the previous episode). Martial arts Marnix has been a Karate-kid since he was young. At the end of the episode we talk about martial arts and the lessons he took from that, and how it affected his journey. This episode reflects pretty well what I want this show to be; there are a lot of original thoughts in there and ways of looking at things that were new to me. Inspiring stuff, too. Right after we were done, I wanted to pack my bags again and leave for a faraway land. So without further ado, here’s episode number 8.

Dub FX is an Australian musician and worldwide street performer. Born in St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia, Benjamin Stanford, better known as Dub FX, started his music career singing in a local alternative rock and rapcore band initially known as Twitch, which would later change its name to Never or Now. After they released a debut album in 2004, Benjamin moved to Italy and began a solo career. His trademark became creating rich live music using only his own performance aided by live looping and effects pedals combined with his voice. Using this set-up, he creates hip hop, reggae, and drum and bass rhythms. Dub FX collaborates on some tracks with other musicials like saxophonist Mr. Woodnote. Dub FX’s lyrics address both general world events and contemporary angst, while suggesting individual-based revolution through self-determination and engagement. The latest album “Roots” is available on all the music streaming platforms. It’s one of the most original albums I’ve heard in a while, and I highly recommend you listening to it. Dub FX currently resides in Victoria, Australia with his wife and two children.

This podcast is about two dudes on a backpacking adventure in Thailand and Bali, Indonesia. Mandeville is a good friend based in the US. In this episode we talk about our backpacking adventures in South East Asia. The trip was made back in 2017 (before the world went nuts) and we had a fantastic experience. The adventure starts in Bangkok, where we take a luxurious night train to Chang Mai. We leave Chang Mai with an old beat up train all the way to Champhon where we take a boat to Koh Phangan. From there, we hit up incredible Khao Sok and eventually Krabi. The last stretch of the adventure is spent on Bali. A good insight into what you can expect on a backpacking adventure in South East Asia.
