I am so excited on this episode to introduce a fellow traveller and friend, Kim Schutzhofer for my first interview. Kim is a South African that has been based in Austria for nearly three decades. I met Kim in Austria in the early 1990's and we hit it off straight away. In this episode, Kim describes her best travel experience volunteering in a kibbutz in Israel. Kim elaborates "I have seen beautiful places and I have had amazing experiences, but I have never felt such a sense of community in any other country. I still have a huge connection to Israel. I am a very emotional traveller who always tries to find an emotional connection to the places I visit and the people who live there. I have seen many beautiful places I wasn’t always able to connect to emotionally." Kim has two websites to connect with her: www.isnotso.com - This is her blog that concentrates on her perspectives to life and matters that matter to her, her poetry, her photography, her book, and an online bookshop that will be built up at and promoted at some point in the future. www.satnightcitybeat.com - This is the website that concentrates on the youth, her #No2Drugs! and #No2Alcohol! Events, her blog section with interviews with former drug addicts/lost youth, and info around new technologies that are rapidly bringing mainstream into the digital era.
