• Ubuntu on the Road with Manon Verijdt

  This week we’re joined by Manon Verijdt - writer, adventurer, and editor of Ubuntu Magazine.From a very Dutch loaf to a very big leap: Manon shares how a sleepless night on a boat off Norway sparked a global conservation magazine and how the spirit of “I am because we are” runs through its pages. We follow her overland across Africa: tracking gorillas, abseiling a towering waterfall, digging out of Zambian mud with strangers-turned-friends, and rescuing a tiny Nigerian street pup, Nim.Manon also explains why Ubuntu tells conservation stories and delivers a brilliant 60-Second CPD on becoming media-ready. A joyful, reflective ride about curiosity, courage, and seizing the tide when it turns. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
