Exploring Two Wild Worlds: From Appalachia to Africa

        From the Appalachian Trail to the African savanna, this episode explores what it means to live between two wild worlds. Each year, military veteran, Brian N. Johnson leaves his home in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee and travels to Kenya to lead safaris, capture wildlife through his lens, and share the powerful rhythm of life where lions hunt, zebras run, and elephants roam free. Brian is currently developing his own tour guide business, Alpine and Savanna Adventures, LLC, which he plans to kickoff in 2026.  His mission is to invite others to experience the wonder of the wild — and to see how adventure, purpose, and conservation connect across continents.  Follow the link to hear Brian's 2015 experience climbing Mt Kilimanjaro with friends Dave & Kris Gilbert to bring awareness to the "Save the Elephants" organization.
