Hi all! In this episode, I’m coming to you from atop a mountain! I talk about my experiences with Bilbao’s festival Aste Nagusia, almost getting my phone stolen, visiting an abandoned nuclear reactor, meeting the vanlife YouTubers who inspired my van build, and I talk about having a bit of a rough patch during these first two weeks. I hope you enjoy it!

I’m back in Bilbao!! In this episode I talk about my first few days here, and briefly talk about what I was up to beforehand. Also I apologize for the weird audio, I’ll try to figure it out for the next episode. See you then!

Hey Everyone! The podcast is back! And speaking of back, I’m going back to Spain!        In today’s episode, I talk about: what I’ve been up to the past two months, why it’s been two months since the last episode (mostly me being lazy), me having Luna (my van) for a year, changed plans about paying back my student loans, quitting my job to go back to Bilbao, and a bit of a ramble about the enjoying life and what’s important in it (to me anyways). (Also I should talk about my excessive use of parenthesis, but I’m not gonna.)         I hope you enjoy it, and let me know if you’re listening to it (or reading this description), and what you like or dislike about it, and what you want to hear in future episodes! If you want to do so - which would be quite neat - you can get in touch on Instagram @hammer.kris, or you can email me at adventuresandstuffpodcast@gmail.com!           Thanks for reading this whole thing, you rock! Talk to you soon!

Hi Everyone! In today’s episode, I chat about 11 things that I’ve learned since starting to travel for work just over a year ago. It’s not a comprehensive list by any means (after all, I hope I’ve learned more than 11 things in the past year!), but these are unique to the style of life I’m currently living. I hope you enjoy it! If you want to get ahold of me for any reason, you can do it either on Instagram @hammer.kris or via email at adventuresandstuffpodcast@gmail.com!

Hey everyone! In today’s episode, I tell the story about how I became fluent in Spanish. I talk about how I quickly reached conversational fluency, and how I’ve reached an advanced level of Spanish, after not having spoken a word until I was 16.

Hi everyone, and welcome to another episode of Adventures and Stuff! This week I tell a story about how a night that was intended to be a pretty normal night turned into an incredible experience, and how I ended up making over $100 on accident!

The podcast's first guest!! In this week's episode, I have a chat with my friend Kyler (while playing FIFA) about the travels we've been on together, and about all of the things that seem to go wrong during these misadventures. We have a couple drinks, a couple laughs, and talk about how sometimes the best adventures happen when things don't go as planned (OR when they DO go as planned). Visit Kyler's website to read his short stories and poems at kjdavis.net! Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, feedback, or just to say hi on Instagram @hammer.kris, or via email at adventuresandstuffpodcast@gmail.com! Thanks for listening, and see you next week!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Adventures and Stuff! I change it up a bit in today’s episode! Instead of telling a story of a past adventure or experience, I compare the act of going and dancing on the dance floor to how we shouldn’t live life based on other people’s opinions, and how this is the best way to take advantage of our time here on Earth - our time at the dance. I hope you enjoy the episode! It’s something I feel strongly about, and hopefully I’ve explained this idea clearly through this analogy. Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or just to say hi, on Instagram @hammer.kris, or via email at adventuresandstuff@gmail.com!

Hi everyone! I hope you're doing well! On today's episode, I tell two different stories - that happened just months apart - about how I am terrible when it comes to catching my transportation out of Prague. It's a cool city and all, but in the future, I will definitely try NOT to repeat these circumstances! This is a shorter episode, but I think they're fun stories, and a good way to learn from my mistakes instead of making them yourself (unless you want a funny story!). Feel free to contact me on Instagram at @hammer.kris, or via email at adventuresandstuffpodcast@gmail.com

Hi everyone, I hope you’re well! In today’s episode, I tell a two-part story: my journey from Kansas to Bilbao, and my experience at La Tamborada on my second and third nights in Spain!  I also talk about living in and enjoying the present moment, and how one moment of getting out of your comfort zone and going for something can lead to many different adventures! Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, and/or feedback on Instagram @hammer.kris, or via email at adventuresandstuff@gmail.com!

Hi Everyone, I hope you're well! In today's episode, I share how I converted my sprinter van into a home on wheels in two months while working on the road - all with zero building experience or past technical knowledge. I tell the story of how I got interested in van life and how it became practical for me, and I explain how everything in the van works: from the electrical system, to the water set up, to storage, a bed that folds into a couch, and even a hammock that I can lay in inside the van! If you're building a van, or are interested at all in van life, this is a good episode for you! I hope to have provided some good tips, ideas, and motivation. If you have any specific questions about van life, or about something I didn't mention, feel free to ask! Contact me with any other questions, comments, and/or feedback on Instagram @hammer.kris, or via email at adventuresandstuffpodcast@gmail.com!
