Please note: This is a very early episode of Here Be Monsters that aired in 2012. This episode no longer appears on the official HBM feed. However, you can still download it here.

Captain Chris Staudinger is an experienced world traveler...now. But back in 2006, he visited Myanmar (Burma), during a time of political unrest, militarization and a general mistrust of anyone American. He looked like a spy.

On this episode, Chris tells his story of escaping the country after he and his friends saw something that they should not have seen.

Chris now runs a travel blog with his girlfriend Tawny Clark. They travel the world on next to no money and teach others how to do the same.
