I went off the grid in the New Zealand backcountry just to emerge into a completely changed world! Listen to details of my crazy adventure and how I got just enough cell phone coverage on top of a mountain pass to discover the pandemic had been announced, the stock market had crashed and that the world had changed completely. That was the beginning of a few days without seeing another human being - days of brainstorming what the new world would be like and how we could help.Going back to civilization was like emerging from a time capsule!I talk about the crash of the notion of our individual freedom and the emergence of our collective responsibility for our wellbeing.I talk about the importance of donate masks and other supplies if you have them at www.maskmatch.com. I immerse you in the journey I and my partner took, giving you glances from the last vestiges of normalcy and trekking in the beautiful country of New Zealand, including the disappearing act of hitchhiking. Finally, what to do to stay sane in this crazy time.
