#29 - Kayak Cobber - Smiles for Moldova

Today’s guest is Jorgen van der Pol, also known as Kayak Cobber.  I first learned of Kayak Cobber when he posted a brief note on a Facebook group, casually mentioning his experience paddling from Holland to Moldova.  When he said he started with 1000 km upstream and had to pass through 80 locks, then got arrested, I knew I needed to share his story.  I learned that the obstacles he faced, and continues to face, are much greater.  Stories like his is one of the reasons I chose to start this podcast.
