Pan-American Soul: Surf Trip from California to Brazil by Moto with Adrian Kojin
For this episode, I sit down with Brazilian surfer, motorcyclist, journeyman, and author of “Pan-American Soul: Searching for the Meaning of Life on a Surf Trip from California to Brazil,” Adrian Kojin. Adrian and I talk about his surfing motorcycle foray through Latin America in the late 1980s as well as his more recent experience, which was a reboot of that original trip. We also chat about whether or not he managed to find “the meaning of life” during his epic journey.
