We've done about a hundred episodes now and there are many of them that stand out.

But I got to tell you of all the ones I've seen, I think the one that had the most impact on me.

Shannon Galpin, who's an author and wrote this book Mountain, but she's, she runs this

program, this charity, in Afghanistan.

It is fascinating to me, I think she said she's been there 20 times. I have flown

in the Cabool as a civilian just once and I got to tell you every poor in my body was on alert because most of the time

when I went there I surrounded by hundreds of my best friends and they all had weapons.

We are here in Teddy Roosevelt's room at the Explorers Club in New York City with

Shannon Galpin, did I get that right?

The 2014 Adventure of the Year as determined by National Geographic.

Exactly. Which means you save animals?

Or work for women's rights in Afghanistan.

Wow, how long are you there?

I've been working there for eight years.

So I've been.

It is a fun place to be.

It's incredibly interesting, obviously,

for many, many reasons.

But I've been lucky enough to travel back and forth there

nearly 20 times over the past eight years. You find yourself itching to get out of

there when you're there or? It depends on the trip, you know, I mean every trip

coming back there now feels a little bit like coming
