5: Staying Safe on the Road (Matt Gets Left at Sea)

Being safe and secure is the primary concern when traveling
anywhere around the world. We discuss how safe it is to leave the
US and what precautions you can take to stay out of harm's way.
What happened when we were followed in India? We discuss the
gadgets we use to feel secure and define what being on ‘yellow’
means. You think America is safe but how safe is it? We also
answer a couple of follower questions on how we fill our time on
the road without getting bored and the ideas we plan to bring
back with us to the US once we go home. Finally, Matt was left at
Sea in the Galapagos Islands! It’s true. We get into the details
of how that happened and what he did.
