Olivier Girard here, recording from Ghana. Welcome to OG's Smaller World Podcast. 

I’m an international development professional. I’ve been privileged to live and work in West Africa for over a decade. I enjoy conversations on peace, personal transformation, social change, books, and building a smaller world.

A few days ago, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jamie Bowman. Jamie has worked as a legal expert across the world for over 20 years and recently published a book entitled Bike Riding in Kabul, The Global Adventures of a Foreign Aid Practitioner.

We talked about her writing and publishing process, the challenges of working in international development, and some of the latest trends in our industry.
