Encore - World Cup Stories & More With Social Sports Guy, Renato Garcia. - Travel Stories

As the World Cup is reaching the final rounds I thought it was a perfect time to bring back this which was my 4th episode from April 6th of 2025. My friend Renato has been to many World Cup matches and told some incredible stories. Please forgive my amateur interview skills in this as it was very early on in my podcasting career! Enjoy! From the original episode: Today we get some incredible stories with my friend Renato. Renato was born in Lima, Peru and even just his story of why his family moved to the states is incredible. We barely scratch the surface on where Renato has been...but get ready to hear about what happens when you accidentally end up in the geisha district, communicating through karaoke, a near hi-jacking...and some other really fantastic and touching stories. Relax and enjoy this episode. It's lengthy - but I promise it could be 10x longer and we'd still be talking. This is another good one, folks! Thanks for being here! (Apologies for my overstating the elevation in Cusco - it's more like 11k feet above sea level!)
