Johannes is a social worker in Vienna serving primarily Afghan refugees caught in Europe's migrant crisis. We asked where else he's traveled ... and hope listening like this evaporates borders. Special thanks to the musician, Dana Boulé. Check out Kiva.org to knit the world one stitch closer together. Circles-cafe.com comes up in this conversation too—if you're ever in San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala go have a drink in the only coffee shop I know where coffee trees grow inside the shop! "When strangers on journeys and people far removed from their friends and companions enter a well-known place and famous site, it is their habit to leave behind a record of their presence in order to seek blessing in the prayers of other strangers, travelers, and people bereft of their kith and kin. I want to join in, so get me a pot of ink." —Caliph al-Ma'mūn
