Gas, Grit, and Border Crossings: The Ride of a Lifetime

This episode of Rhythm & Roam is for every dreamer who ever said, "What if I just kept driving?” 

We sit down with Matt, who did exactly that, driving solo from Los Angeles to Panama through Mexico, Central America, and a few unexpected roadblocks along the way (literally). He opens up about fear, freedom, and what it means to be an outsider welcomed in. From being stuck for days at a Nicaraguan barricade to finding humanity in roadside strangers, his story is part travel diary, part human lesson.
