About Travels and adventures of an orchid hunter

Join us on an exhilarating journey as we follow an intrepid orchid hunter through the vibrant landscapes of Colombia. This captivating travelogue explores bustling cities, diverse cultures, and the rich flora and fauna encountered along the way. Set against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in history—the French attempt to construct a canal in Panama—our protagonist navigates the complexities of a world where European and South American elites are celebrated, while the indigenous peoples are often overlooked. With a keen eye for detail, the narrative unfolds as the hunter recounts perilous adventures, including the tragic fates of his native support staff and the challenges posed by previous collectors who have ravaged the land. Amidst breathtaking jungles and majestic mountains, our hunters obsession with orchids leads to the ruthless destruction of nature, as he recounts the nine jaguar skins and crates of plants he hauls back to England. This tale is as much about the beauty of exploration as it is about the moral complexities that accompany it.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
