Adventures With Purpose
When this is posted, I will be on the Pacuare River helping with the filming of an episode of Adventures with Purpose, an Emmy Award Winning PBS series hosted by my good friend of 40 years, Richard Bangs.
In my October 19th post I wrote:
“What I personally find most beneficial and nourishing about traveling is that by reawakening in me a sense of awe and fascination, traveling immeasurably enriches my daily life, the majority of which is spent not traveling.”
Richard Bangs epitomizes this sentiment—except that the majority of his daily life is spent traveling.
Here’s a clip from one of my favorite episodes: Take a look:

And watch for the Costa Rica episode coming soon to a television near you.

Hooray! A ray of hope for the usually depressing topic of endangered species. I was thrilled to hear Richard Bangs use the word “flourishing” in reference to the one-horned rhino. Not only will I add this destination to my bucket-list, but I’ll look for his TV series as well. The challenge he’ll face in the Costa Rica episode will surely be which of the myriad eco-systems or fascinating species of wildlife to share with viewers!

Wonderful music & colours in this clip.Richard Bangs seems a great guy.
I’ll contact the PBS stations we can get here in Montreal To see when “Adventures With a Purpose” will be on .There’s a link on his site where you can check out the stations in the US.
Very uplifting to see than the rhino is doing well in Assam especially since just today there was a 2-page spread in the Toronto Globe & Mail about the relentless,cruel poaching of rhinos in S.Africa,mostly for the Vietnamese market,for the non-existent properties of the rhino horn in curing all kinds of ailments.
I see he’s done some interesting stuff on Nicaragua,too.
Look forward to seeing the show on the Pacuare River!
