Hey kids this is Jeremy and in this week’s episode we talk with my longtime friend and work associate Stephen Marginson.
I met Stephen through my longtime partner firm York Engineering. Although Stephen is and has been involved with engineering for some time now that is not actually the story we were seeking.
Moving around quite a bit as an impressionable youth Stephen has had the travel bug most (if not all) of his life. So, after finishing school at the University of Utah, and putting in a few years in the professional sector Stephen was ready for a change. In mid-2019 he sold everything he had (and I do mean everything) and jumped on a plane for Indonesia. Stephen had no idea what he was gong to do, or where he would end up, but he needed to travel.
Stephen spent a few weeks in Indonesia, and then his work visa finally came through and he headed to New Zealand. There were months of hiking, traveling, sightseeing, and the occasional odd job for money. Stephen bought a travel van and spent nearly 9 months living on the road and exploring the amazing worlds on New Zealand.

In early March of 2020 Stephen was scheduled to fly into Wuhan China, but for unknown reasons (to him) his flight was cancelled…. Not to be discouraged by a little hiccup in the road Marginson heads over to the beautiful country of Vietnam. “The people were so cool, and welcoming when I first arrived.” Said Marginson. “But then something strange started happening when we got news of this virus starting spread. The covid 19 outbreak had hit mainland China and was starting to spread worldwide.
After having a long conversation with his parents (and seeing the Hostel next door have a Covid breakout) Marginson decided to cut his world tour short and head back home. Marginson was very lucky to make it out of Vietnam and back home before the world was shut down. Only one week after his return boarders were shut down, flights were shut down and the world went into the 2020 lockdown.
Please take the time to listen to this amazing story, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
