The Sweat Test: Virtuous Travel
Episode description
From the first moment we engaged in our Zoom podcast there was tension. Why? Because David's picturesque background of the Caribbean while on the beach in the Dominican Republic felt like an in-your-face showcase to Dr Dave, struggling with his blanket to keep warm in Northern Indiana. So much ground was covered here…literally, as David walked us across the sand from one location to another in search of just the right wi-fi signal. You know where he didn't look for an Internet connection? At the dump, in spite of his insistence that he would have. If you think, like Dr Dave concluded, that David deserved the crotch sweat and stained shorts he talked about (Vegas comparison aside), you join the people who can't help but judge the worthiness of some "mission trips."
