Peter-Santenello-Interview-Bob Davis Podcast 1169

Peter Santenello Interview

Firstly Peter Santenello joins the Bob Davis Podcast for an Interview.

Three Years Ago

Secondly Peter and I became acquainted three years ago at Quartzite, Arizona.

In addition Peter and I became pretty good friends as a result of that interaction three years ago.

Furthermore he has helped me with my YouTube Project.

Experience In The Desert

Not to mention the fact that appearing in a video on Santenllo’s channel documenting his experience with us in the desert that year.

Collaboration

Equally if not more important is our collaboration this month on a video in Arizona.

Arizona Diversity

To begin with Arizona has so many diverse cities and towns.

Stories To Tell

And there are always stories to tell.

Therefore our trip entailed visiting four completely different Arizona Towns.

That is to say Sedona, Clarksburg, The Yavapai-Apache Nation, Jerome and Prescott.

New Rig Co-Stars

Even more my new rig, Mobile Podcast Command Unit 11, is prominently featured in Peter’s new video.

Audio Podcast

Thirdly we decided to sit down for a podcast on my channel the day after our little tour of mid northern Arizona.

Because I create unique content for the audio podcast as opposed to the video channel, Peter-Santenello-Interview-Bob Davis Podcast 1169, includes content not in the video on my YouTube Channel found here.

Also Peter’s YouTube Channel is here.

Experiences

Afterward we talked about the trip, and the experiences we had.

Social Media Isn’t Real

For one thing we agree the America people experience through social media is not the reality.

Travel Opens The Mind

In the hope this fact may be better understood Peter and I discuss how travel broadens the mind and softens harsh judgements.

Fourthly we talk about Peter’s experience with his many videos and interviews.

Great Adventure

All in all we had a great adventure.

Arizona History

In essence telling part of the Arizona Historical story and sharing our own observations.

All things considered we talked about the mining and ranching history of Arizona as well as our impressions of life in The Grand Canyon State.

And Grand It Is.

Oversharing-Nomads-Ruin-Travel-Bob Davis Podcast 1158

Oversharing Nomads Ruin Travel

Do oversharing nomads ruin travel? These days it seems like all the travel highlights have been detailed by oversharing nomads. Details in Oversharing-Nomads-Ruin-Travel-Bob Davis Podcast 1158.

Opportunity

Certainly the world is full of opportunities for Discovery and Exploration.

Nomad Life

And I discuss these subjects in relation to nomad life.

Documenting Experience

However recently I have noticed almost every place and experience has already been documented with a pin in a map…

So everyone else can have the same experience.

Freedom

By all means we have the freedom to experience and enjoy where we go in our own way.

Overshare

Nevertheless one of the pitfalls of the so called #nomadlife ‘movement’ is a tendency to overshare ….

Lecture

And as a matter of fact lecture everyone else about where to go and what to do.

Road Tramps

Even more with people who learned nomad life a certain way from certain people…

They are generally apt to pull right up next to a vehicle and force themselves on other campers.

On one hand this behavior is based on the idea we’re all brothers and sisters in this effort.

Manners and Boundaries

On the other hand this behavior shows a pronounced lack of manners and boundaries.

Accordingly it is not unusual to find yourself listening to a whirlwind travelogue with ‘pointers’ on where to go and what to do.

How Do You Define Adventure?

With this in mind one wonders when adventure, discovery and exploration happens…

Ticking Boxes

If all we do is tick boxes on a list from someone else.

Amazing And Incredible

In fact my sense is social media and modern technology have made the practice of telling everyone else about ‘amazing’ and ‘incredible’ places very common.

Leave Something To Discover

In the final analysis we should be leaving something to discover for the new travelers.

Not That Hard

In addition these same people stress that Nomad life is extremely complex and difficult.

In summary it’s not that hard.

Sooner or later we all discover the world is a big place and there’s a lot to see.

Maybe some experiences are still pristine.

Keep It To Yourself

If you find one…Keep it to yourself.

No-Politics-Better-Path-Bob Davis Podcast 1138

No Politics A Better Path

Firstly it’s time for some real talk about why No Politics is the better path for me. Check out No-Politics-Better-Path-Bob Davis Podcast 1138 for details.

Secondly in order to explain this I do have to spend a little time talking about political science.

But no personalities or issues in this podcast.

No Political Content

Or any podcast or YouTube video I do.

In fact this has been my policy for more than three years now.

Metamorphosis

To clarify a metamorphosis for me began around 2020…

which at length changed my approach to content on my podcasts.

Long Time Listeners Already Know

All things considered my subscribers and listeners know this has been my policy.

On the other hand I have new listeners and subscribers both on these podcasts and through YouTube.

Why?

Even more people have been asking me why I don’t talk about politics…

Don’t ‘Should’ me Brah

Or in like manner suggesting I “should”.

Better Path For Me

Therefore it’s time to say again why the no politics content rule is a better path for me.

Political Science

More importantly it’s necessary to discuss political science for a little bit of time in this podcast.

Rancor

Because of course so much of social media content is devoted to back and forth arguments and rancor about national personalities and national issues.

Easier To Listen

Above all I can’t really write it the way I say it in this podcast…

Socially Corrosive

but so much of this socially corrosive rancor in on the social media platforms where people complain about ‘the media’.

Useless Energy

With this in mind a great deal of national government in the US is not subject to individual votes in the same manner local government is.

Yet so many of these ‘arguments’ have to do with national issues.

Ruining The Vibe

Overall though the reason I think this is the best path for me is that political talk ruins the travel vibe.

Four More Years

Thirdly I have been a nomad for four years now.

Positive Vibe

The first thing to remember about the nomad lifestyle is it carries a very high positive vibe.

We Are More

Furthermore this experience taught me we can be and are so much more than yelling and screaming at each other across the back fence.

Why Bring The Nightmare To The Dream?

In the final analysis when someone chooses a lifestyle that is unique…

It’s most important that one of the drivers of the decision to choose this lifestyle is to experience more and be more.

In the long run, why bring the nightmare to the dream?

Finally I do not feel all this political yelling and screaming is positive at all.
