24: Knowing the Place, Knowing Myself

July 20, 2016

Dan Ware grew up in Walla Walla, Washington where he became good friends with Marcia in high school. His awareness of the world outside this small city was greatly expanded when he and Marcia both joined a globally focused religion, the Baha’i Faith. Later, Dan’s experience as a citizen of a diverse world further blossomed after he came to terms with his identity as a gay man and eventually started his own business as the owner and operator of an international tour company catering exclusively to gay men. In this episode, Dan shares his personal story and a few of his unique experiences traveling the world with clients whom he considers his special honor to serve. Marcia and Lisle reflect on Dan’s challenging, inspiring and sometimes funny stories as well as some assumptions about being gay… and they also give a brief shout out to squat toilets and the legendary ugly tourist. Dan's tour business Website and blog is tototours.com  (Transition music for this episode from Jukedeck - create your own at www.jukedeck.com) Note that a few comments in this episode may not be suitable for small children.
