070 - Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, & More With Former USAID Director, & Author Cliff Brown. - Travel Stories

I apologize in advance - had some minor audio difficulties with Cliff. Tried to iron them out the best I could and I think the result was okay... This week I had a fascinating conversation with Cliff Brown, a former USAID mission director, who shares his extensive travel experiences and insights on foreign aid. Cliff discusses his journey from a young man working on an oceanographic ship to a seasoned traveler covering various countries across Latin America, Africa, and Central Asia. He reflects on the impact of foreign aid, the importance of cultural understanding, and the beauty of places like Guatemala, where he spent five years. The conversation highlights the significance of language in connecting with people and the rich tapestry of experiences that travel offers.  Find Cliff's website here: https://cliffordhbrown.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/clifford8brown Twitter (X): https://x.com/bliffordcrown YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jefferdogY LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clifford-brown-2608428/ Substack: https://cliffordbrown.substack.com/ Want to be a guest on Where Have You Been? - Travel Stories?
