Podcast appearances and mentions of alex jimenez

While consumer digital banking has seen tremendous innovation, commercial and wealth management sectors often lag behind, creating frustration for some of banking's most valuable customers. We're joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by Alex Jimenez, Lead Principal Consultant at Backbase. Alex helps us understand the critical differences between consumer, small business, commercial, and wealth solutions – and why a one-size-fits-all approach fails in today's competitive landscape. He also explores the unique needs of the commercial and wealth segments, examining the performance gaps currently plaguing the industry. The message is clear – financial institutions can no longer afford to focus exclusively on consumer digital experiences while neglecting their commercial and wealth management clients.

Do not think smallness is a liability. It just may be a winning advantage.Along the way Jimenez talks about genuine use cases where AI is in fact bringing real results to credit unions.  And he insists that the AI tool kit in credit unions is going to get much bigger and better, sooner rather than later.  It's a space to keep watching because very real results are coming.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

Financial inclusion is one of those topics that banks are often eager to discuss. After all, their efforts here can have profound impacts on their customers and the communities in which they operate and can generate positive PR spins that showcase the brand in a different light. However, it's rare to see true innovation in the realm of financial inclusion that profoundly alters things for customers and their communities. Enter Briana Marbury, CEO at Interledger Foundation, who aims to reshape the payments and remittance space as a way to drive major positive changes for communities across the globe. Briana sat with EPAM's Alex Jimenez to discuss how innovations in payments technology and the proliferation of the Interledger Protocol are rewriting the financial inclusion story. “Financial inclusion means accessible and equitable access to…accounts and other financial services banks offer like access to credit and housing loans,” says Marbury. In the past, banks have been hesitant to invest in infrastructure in poorer communities as they don't view such areas as a good return on investment in the delivery of those services. As a consequence, millions of low-income people found themselves with limited access to bank accounts and services. “This lack of infrastructure led to the adoption of mobile money and underbanked consumers moving money digitally among their peers.” When viewed on a global scale, this lack of access to banking infrastructure is a massive issue. The World Bank reports that there are 1.4 billion adults without access to banks. To which Marbury says: “One thing many of [unbanked adults] do have access to is mobile phones.” As a result, there have been a number of payments apps that have been adopted around the world to help these individuals transfer money via mobile transactions. But many of these apps are powered by payments remittance systems that are siloed regionally or geographically. “What we're trying to do is expand on the work that's already being done to create interoperability among systems… and create more opportunities for people to participate in their digital financial world,” Marbury says, explaining how the goal of her work with Interledger is to increase the global adoption of a more transparent remittance system. And if her work is successful, it has the potential to have a very real and positive impact on communities around the world.

When it comes to financial literacy, many banks and financial institutions claim it's something they actively prioritize for their customers. In reality, this often tends to be lip service. “Banks like to think they're doing something in this space….They'll write a long blog that will sit in a resource page on their website. But if you look at the analytics behind those pages, generally they have very few views. They're not teaching anything to anyone, and this content is just not visible.” This is the claim of Alex Jimenez, EPAM's Managing Principal of Financial Services Consulting, as he and Theodora Lau, Founder of Unconventional Ventures, discuss the shortcomings of retail banks when it comes to providing customers with financial literacy and guidance. “What is their [the bank's] intention for putting this information out there? Is it just to check a box? Or are they doing it because they genuinely want to help?” asks Lau. If it's truly the latter, then their efforts are genuinely falling short, especially in this time of unprecedented technological innovation. Worse yet, the one-size-fits-all approach—like an online resource center—fails to address the unique and varied needs of a large swathe of customers. “In the data from a recent survey we conducted, we found that Gen Zers were using physical branches at nearly the same rates as Boomers. It's because mainly they want to have someone in person to talk to them. And part of that is because we have not done a great job to give young people an understanding of finance,” says Jimenez . To that extent, banks also need to be cognizant of how they're training their frontline staff to have financial literacy conversations. Jimenez touches on this, saying, “From a banking side, we also don't tool our customer-facing employees to be able to do some of this. The philosophy has been, ‘Consumers know us as a bank and therefore will come to us because they trust us and that's when we can give them guidance about managing their money.'” However, this shortsighted approach can actually leave banks vulnerable to their FinTech and big tech competitors, providing an opening for them to take away market share. The good news is, there are plenty of opportunities for banks to close this gap with technology. Jimenez says:, “My credit card gives me an alert every time I make a purchase. I love that. But every once in a while, I want that alert to be more than just an alert saying, ‘You just spent $100 on Amazon.' Give me some contextual advice specific to that transaction. That's the sort of thing that we in the industry could do if we had the wherewithal to do it.” Right now, it's time to familiarize yourself with the full *Silo Busting* conversation. Get clicking!

Alexandra Jimenez takes us on her journey growing up in a Salvadoran immigrant home in Los Angeles, working in the fashion industry, and then leaving her corporate job to travel the world.  She talks about her first trip with her mother to Hawaii, how that led to a life-changing trip to India and eventually starting her website “Travel Fashion Girl” in Southeast Asia.   Alex explains how she grew her website traffic to over 1 Million monthly visitors, hired a fully remote team, and scaled Travel Fashion Girl to a 7-Figure business.  Matt and Alex also discuss their minimalist packing journeys and share tips and strategies for both men and women traveling to all different climates with carry-on luggage. They reflect on how buying fewer things can enable you to buy nicer things that make you feel better.  They also reflect on how minimalist packing allows you to minimize materialist consumption and instead prioritize experiences and relationships with people.  Alex then talks about her acquisition of “Women's Travel Fest” and shares her vision for the future of the event.  And, finally, she reflects on what travel means to her today.  FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com

If a bank releases a new digital product, but it's not intuitive enough to resonate with customers, does it make a noise? When a bank undergoes a major digital transformation, what steps can they take to help ensure the experience they've painstakingly crafted resonates with customers and makes the right kind of noise in the marketplace? These are the sorts of questions Alex Jimenez, EPAM's Managing Principal of Financial Services Consulting, is asking of John Findlay, CEO of LemonadeLXP, in this #TakeItToTheBank conversation. For many years now, Findlay and LemonadeLXP have introduced gamification to the onboarding process to improve the adoption rates of new digital products as banks roll these experiences out to their customers. “Inherently, we all want to believe we build software that's intuitive, that people will easily understand and get up to speed on quickly,” says Findlay. “I think that optimism is born out of seeing amazing products like the iPhone and the iPad, but what's forgotten is Apple had trillions to invest in UX.” So how can banks make customers feel comfortable with their new tech following a major digital transformation? Findlay says: “The best way to drive adoption is through your frontline. But what we've learned is that at about 70% of financial institutions, staff don't bank with their employer. So, if they don't bank with you, they don't use your tech and if they don't use your tech, there's no way they can have customer conversations about it.” Given the current state of the global economy, providing customers with a satisfying digital experience is more important than ever. “We want to keep [customers] happy,” Jimenez says, “And not just customers but employees…because at the end of the day… if you're not supporting people, there's no point in putting more technology out there.” Findlay agrees. After all, it's people who are the drivers of ROI when it comes to tech investments. And when customers embrace a bank's tech and transition away from branch use to these digital transactions, the banks stand to see a major reduction in the costs of processing those transactions. But the responsibility for effective digital transformation shouldn't fall solely on frontline employees. Leaders within the organization need to be the driving force behind adoption. And that's where gamification can have a major impact on motivating leaders to embrace and model the use of new digital products. Jimenez says, “Gamification can take someone [in leadership] who's not interested in the topic, who doesn't see it as impactful to their job because they're the head of mortgage, for instance, and then suddenly they're a champion of the system and really understand how it works.” That kind of top-down embracing of a product, a piece of software or a particular user experience can greatly drive literacy throughout the organization. And that literacy has a direct impact on the bottom line. Findlay explains this notion through the lens of an agent in the contact center. Improved literacy means that agent is better equipped to walk customers through transactions, shortening talk time, improving the customer experience, and ultimately making the agent experience much less stressful (which can limit employee attrition). Right now, it's time to familiarize yourself with the full Silo Busting conversation. Get clicking! Host: Mo Banjoko Engineer: Kyp Pilalas Producer: Scott MacAllister Executive Producer: Ken Gordon

When it comes to artificial intelligence, how responsible is the financial services industry? How responsible must it be? And how what steps should it take to get there? These are the sort of questions Alex Jimenez, EPAM's Managing Principal of Financial Services Consulting, is asking of Kathryn “Kate” Hughes, our Director of LegalTech and ERM Business Consulting, in this #TakeItToTheBank conversation. Hughes says that many financial firms have long invested in AI and they're “starting to see a level of incremental benefit from AI.” She mentions a tool called ChatGPT—you might have heard about it—and says that people have been looking for a “sweet spot of a scenario or a use case” and that ChatGPT “hit it out of the park.” Jimenez notes that while it's good to invest in AI, it's important to view it realistically. “ChatGPT is not built to be to be replacing a call center,” he says. “It's not built to replace the advice from your licensed advisor or from your banker or from your accountant.” The pair have both tested ChatGPT, and quickly found some limits. Jimenez recently asked it about himself. “It invented a whole biography, he says. “It talked about my life and how I lived in San Francisco and how I did all these things, which are not real. And then when I asked for the sources, the sources were made-up as well.” Hughes recently asked the AI about her pension. “It gave me a really good overview of the United States pension system but did not in any way actually answer my question.” Hughes wisely argues for a measured approach to AI. “I think we have to be *adults* when engaging this technology,” she says. “One of the finest ways to engage AI is to think about it as a co-collaborator… rather than think of it as some, you know, alien other, and to sort of bring it into the mix.” Risk is, obviously, a big issue here. “Banks need to start thinking about how they manage the risks around AI,” says Jimenez, and he warns against the danger of “digital redlining,” which is when “the data that we're using is biased and now the decisions that the AI is doing are biased as well.” Hughes speaks about the guidelines proposed by the Wolfsberg Group and the proposed legislation for the EU harmonization of AI regulation, which call for things like ensuring that there is a legitimate purpose, making sure that there is accountability and oversight, openness and transparency built in. Guidelines are great but the big question remains: How to move FS toward AI responsibility? Hughes says there are two paths. The first involves insuring “that the organization has its own governance and policy, brand reputation and ethic.” The second path involves education. Hughes recommends reading about the proposal for harmonized rules for AI across the EU, the Algorithmic Accountability Act, and the AI Bill of Rights and notes organizations should start familiarizing themselves “with the actual content of these proposed legislative items.” Right now, it's time to familiarize yourself with the full *Silo Busting* conversation.

Now is an odd time to be a Chief Digital Officer at a financial services organization. The Fed is fighting inflation while watching unemployment numbers. Consumer spending is in flux. Banks are still—still!—trying to figure out their budgets. With all this going on, how's a CDO going to proceed with a big digital transformation project? That's exactly the topic Alex Jimenez, Managing Principal, Financial Services Consulting at EPAM, is covering with our guest, Tom Novak, VP/CDO of Visions Federal Credit Union, on *Silo Busting.* On the latest #TakeItToTheBank dialogue, Novak is all about adhering to his central principles. “If we stick to our digital transformation objectives, this whole play of humanizing digital as we look to scale our business, there will be short-, medium- and long-term benefits to doing that, and [they] will help us navigate some of these headwinds that are happening from a macroeconomic perspective.” Jimenez notes the irony that some firms are suddenly shifting away from their digital transformation efforts to focus on creating efficiencies. “It's funny to hear some organizations that say, 'We're gonna stop doing digital transformation because we gotta be more efficient.'” The two ideas should have been part of the conversation together all along. Novak says his org will “continue to invest in digital transformation efforts and leveraging the data and insights that we get from those” because that's how “we can really propel ourselves out of the doldrums of this, let's call it a mild recession.” The conversion is centrally about cost optimization in the present and preparing for growth going forward. The insights gained from the digital transformation work, Novak says, will provide “a lot of our insights to move the business forward in the future.” Novak and Jimenez also tackle Visions' venture into crypto wallets, the importance of getting business intelligence in order, of digital account openings, and of AI and ML and personalization. Yes, people are opening more digital accounts but, says Novak: “We're still missing out on how we can form a real relationship with that member as opposed to more of a transactional relationship.” Episode 53 is what it sounds like when two financial services pros who have, in fact, a real relationship, speak honestly and well about our current moment.

May we borrow your attention for a few minutes? If you have a vested interest in commercial, residential, business, and/or personal lending, pull up a chair to hear what Chris Karageuzian, CEO & Co-Founder at Help With My Loan, and Alex Jimenez, Managing Principal, Financial Services Consulting at EPAM, are saying on our latest #TakeItToTheBank conversation. The economy is getting softer but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad time for loans. According to Jimenez, some players are saying “This is actually a good time if you have the discipline” and “if you have the right team.” Karageuzian and Jimenez talk about how automation is changing the way front-end underwriting works today and tomorrow. In a time when rates and guidelines are in rapid flux, and some banks that have been in business for 30-40 years are shutting down, automation can be an important strategic advantage. “Our production is going up because a lot of people need to automate,” says Karageuzian. “They wanna move faster, they need to be able to handle the remote work.” It's a complicated moment for banks. Karageuzian says that there's an “overflow of deals at certain banks that are staying in the market, but they need technology because they don't have the staff.” Listen as these two loan-minded interlocutors talk about FinTechs and VCs, the pandemic's effect on commercial lending, and how salespeople can be, as Karageuzian puts it, “augmenting their talent with technology.” So lend your ear to this episode to get a better—a much better—understanding of the tech-enabled lending game.

In this episode, Alex Jimenez continues to explain the "Ongoing Transformation."

In this episode, we approach digital transformation from a different perspective: ongoing transformation. Alex Jimenez works as Managing Principal at EPAM. Digital Transformation Podcast is brought to you by Lasting Dynamics.

“When I meet with executives at banks, every single one of them tells me that they compete by how customer-centric” they are, says Alex Jimenez, Managing Principal, Financial Services Consulting at EPAM. “They can't really verbalize what that means.” By contrast, Frank Sorrentino, Chairman and CEO of ConnectOne Bank, our guest on this #TakeItToTheBank conversation, is quite articulate indeed. Listen as Sorrentino and Jimenez journey into the heart of customer-centric banking. “When we have a meeting with clients, it's not about what products and services that we have,” says Sorrentino. “It's trying to understand ‘What are they trying to do?' before we even talk about any particular product or service.” This kind of customer understanding will be crucial in the upcoming year. Until recently, Sorrentino, says the economy was like a “small town, Little League where everybody gets a trophy…. everybody does well and everybody's rewarded and every decision you make happens to be the right one.” He adds: “We're now moving into an economy where I believe discipline is gonna matter. Intelligent choices are gonna matter. And I think there will be winners and losers.” They go on to discuss important subjects such as the impact of digital technology and humanizing the digital experience, the role of the branch, how companies can optimize their activities in an uncertain economy, and more. This episode, it must be added, features only winners. Host: Kenji Ross Engineer: Kyp Pilalas Producer: Ken Gordon

So what's in your mobile wallet? Questions around digital payments are on the minds of our two guests on this #TakeItToTheBank episode of *Silo Busting.* Chase Petrey, COO of Pi, and Alex Jimenez, Managing Principal, Financial Services Consulting at EPAM, talk—with great gusto—about real-time payments, data complexity and scale, the evolution of fraud risk monitoring, embedded finance, “fast fraud,” and bias in AI and machine learning. The digital payment world has a fascinating history, one in which India has led the way. The US built a lot of the foundational infrastructure in the 60s and 70s and, according to Petrey: “We're still using those systems today because there's so much process built around those systems that, you know doing a rip and replace is just untenable.” But when it comes to digital payment innovation, he says, some booming BRIC economies are “really able to leapfrog the United States,” because they get to work on a “blue sky blank canvas with the luxury of current-day technology.” Digital payments, our interlocutors note, require an enormous amount of computing power, even for something as straightforward as mobile check deposits. “The computing power to maintain all those aggregations at every customer level is *insane,*” says Petrey. “It's not just averages across the whole business, but it's averages at the individual member or customer level being computed in that moment.” If you want to hear some fascinating about talk about financial services risk management and bringing what Petrey calls “the right friction to the right person,” then you've in the appropriate place. There is, in fact, nothing average about this conversation. And the transaction costs for listening? Zero! Host: Alison Kotin Engineer: Kyp Pilalas Producer: Ken Gordon

On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by new investor Alex Jimenez. At only 19 years old, Alex has already established himself as a realtor and is beginning to invest in his own properties.    Alex explains what he is looking to invest in currently, including duplex and multi-family properties to insure as best as he can that he will always be making a profit. While Utah is currently not great for cashflows, Alex still plans on purchasing mostly cashflows, but is open to potential equity properties as well.    Building a portfolio can be very simple. Most importantly you need to just get started to begin to realize profits in real estate.    Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 13th when we're hosing an investment seminar here in Draper at 6pm.    We'll teach you about spec homes, land development, fix and flips, getting into syndication, multi-family, buying big multi-family projects and how to make your money work for you.    Check us out at : https://www.primerealestateexperts.com/

This time, it's personal. Welcome to the premier installment of #TakeItToTheBank, our new series of financial services conversations on *Silo Busting.* In this episode, Liz High, co-author of *Think like a Brand, Not a Bank: 5 Practical Strategies to Unlock Innovation, Connect with Customers, and Grow,* and Alex Jimenez, Managing Principal, Financial Services Consulting at EPAM, get into how banks do, and should, approach personalization. High says that banks need to do a better job of understanding that “brands and the customer experiences you build have to feel personal” and that banks shouldn't be customer-first. “If your decision-making framework is either bank first or customer first, you're never gonna get to [a] fair exchange of value,” she says, “because no one's more important than the other.” Jimenez notes that even when banks go to market with a customer-first message, “ROI is always going to come first, despite the mission being all about the customer or all about the member.” Together the note that lifecycle and lifestyle marketing isn't personalization. When banks try to sell mortgages to 21-year-olds there's a disconnect because, as Jimenez says: “You're not doing the hard work of really understanding your customer.” The talk about the importance of using data to look forward rather than backward (“Your rear-view mirror is smaller than your windscreen for a reason,” says High, quoting her co-author) and for managerial purposes: “That mind shift needs to be throughout the organization and not just in marketing and customer service and customer experience, but it also needs to be in the back office,” Jimenez says. They get into niche banking (did you know there's a bank dedicated to musicians?) and analyze the evolution of community banking. High says the contemporary idea of community is about “moving away from geography and moving into emotion and moving into brand.” If you want to spend time learning about neobanks, fintech, and charters (“the most valuable thing in that whole ecosystem is, the bank charters,” says High), then this is the conversation for you.

Since becoming a full-time entrepreneur, nothing has improved the quality of my life quite like the topic of today’s show: traveling.   Here’s the best part, traveling has NEVER been more accessible to the average person than it is today.   On today’s episode, I’m bringing on not one, but TWO amazing travel boss babes—Kamilia Britton and Alex Jimenez. They both not only share a passion for travel, but they’ve been able to make a business out of it.   We are going to share our love for travel, and also go deeper on how others can access this life-enriching gift.   #ListenIn and #StayCurious

According to IMDB, the budget for 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens was an estimated $245,000,000.00. I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here in saying the budget for the Redwood Theatre Company’s production of Brittany Law’s original musical parody The Farce Awakens was about 1/245,000,000th of that. Cardboard sets, Super Soakers for ray guns, and a droid costume consisting of an oversized t-shirt and bike helmet equal a show with production values that would make Edward D. Wood, Jr. blush. And yet there’s something charming about making due with the resources at hand, so playwright/composer/assistant director/dance choreographer/costume, set & prop designer Law joined with RTC’s Artistic Director/stage director/dance & fight choreographer Kot Takahashi to bring her creation to life on the quaint and comfortable Redwood Theatre Company stage in the heart of an industrial park in Healdsburg. Law’s script follows the screen story of the search for the long-lost Luke Skywalker while battling the villainous ‘First Order’ but manages to chop the film’s 126 minutes down to about 75 while adding 14 songs to the mix. All your main characters are there – Rey (Ms. Law), Poe Dameron (Mr. Takahashi), Finn (Isiah Carter), Kylo Ren (Ezra Hernandez), BB8 (Adriano Brown), Teedo (Griffin Tatum) as well as Han (Brett Mollard), Chewie (Alex Jimenez), Luke (Alex Sterling) and Leia (Shawna Jackson). Most of the cast fill in for various other roles from General Hux to a Rockettes-like kick line of dancing stormtroopers. The ensemble also has two members, Mathew Gravel and Jasmine Capriotti, from the Alchemia Arts program which supports adults with developmental disabilities through artistic expression. They all seem to be having a blast and their affection for the material is evident. I don’t know how they are able to sing with their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks, but they do and often quite well. Ms. Law and Mr. Hernandez are trained singers and did best with Ms. Law’s often clever compositions. With titles like “New Best Friend”, “Darth Inside of Me”, and “Totally Brand-New Cantina”, the challenge was often not just to sing, but to do it with a straight face. The cast managed to do that – mostly. It helps to know the canon of Star Wars, as there are plenty of references and in-jokes that mighty fly over the heads of the unaware. No matter, as there are plenty of other things at which to laugh. Comedic props to Adriano Brown for managing to be more than a sight gag with his BB8. Kot Takahashi’s overplaying (appropriately) as Poe is balanced out by Isiah Carter’s underplaying as Finn. Together, you might say they’re ham and wry. Brett Mollard and Alex Jimenez play Han and Chewie like the space equivalent of Laurel and Hardy (though I don’t expect many of their generation to get that reference.) Look, we’re not talking Shakespeare or Arthur Miller or even Ken Ludwig here. What we have is a group of talented young performers having fun with something that’s a pop cultural reference point for them. I may not be a member of the cult of Star Wars, but I find this company’s energy and enthusiasm for what they are doing infectious. I found myself smiling frequently at the silliness happening on-stage. The all-ages audience was certainly with them. They were there to have a good time. They got it. The Farce Awakens plays at the Redwood Theatre Company in Healdsburg through August 13th Fri & Sat @ 7:30pm, Sun @ 2pm * Admission is free but space is limited and donations are appreciated. * For more information, go to redwoodtheatrecompany.com

"Some people have the idea that if you travel nonstop you must be a trust fund baby with endless funds or a travel blogger making money from that and in reality, there are so many ways that people can make money online now," says today's guest, Billy Taylor, the Senior Editor of Travel Longer magazine, "The benefit of starting the magazine was hearing all of these different, diverse ways that people are able to perpetuate their travel." Equal parts journalist and photographer, Billy has been traveling the world writing, taking pics and eating anything he can find since 2010. He's a diver, designer, a former stunt performer, and a perpetual world traveler. Before that he got his start in his teens and then after a round-the-world trip, he realized how badly he wanted to travel more while also longer, to slow down and experience his destinations longer. Part of Billy's drive to explore and document is his pure love of people and their cultures, along with a belief that there are far more similarities that unite us as a human race, than there are differences that set us apart. He started his magazine, Travel Longer, to share this belief, vision, and purpose-driven mission with the world. Words from an Explorer "If you actually slow down and take the time to open your eyes and your heart a little bit there are so many of those little life changing moments that happen daily.” More Quotes from Billy "When you’re traveling, everything’s new and vibrant… if you’re traveling too quickly, those life-changing moments just rush past you." "When some people say they travel perpetually, it doesn’t mean 365 days a year. To just travel longer, to embrace the fact that you can extend things just a little…” "So much of work that we do is done online. It’s getting easier and easier for people to take their work on the road." What We Discuss What it is about New Zealand that Billy loves, from WOOFing to Couchsurfing, to a welcoming culture for an amazing community of travelers How a bowl of soup in Malaysia changed Billy's life How traveling longer allows you to let the experiences find you All about Billy's magazine, Travel Longer, and why he started it How he's able to get all his contributors and interview guests for his magazine The way travel can change your perspective of and restore your appreciation for home Billy's Best Travel Advice The First Step: He quotes Alex Jimenez, "I'm an equal opportunity traveler. I don't care how you travel, just that do." Money Saving Tip: Haggling for accommodation! Go in to a hotel, tell the people at the desk or the owners how much the room is listed for. Tell them on the spot that you're going to give them a lower price. What's the worst that can happen? This has worked for Billy in every continent he's been to. Listen to the show to hear about "Spludgeting!" Cheapest Airfare: Get as many quotes as you can, then ring the airline. Tell them what you've found, tell them you're a little flexible, and ask them if they can do a little better. Packing Advice: People pack things they 'might' need. That adds up. If you need it then, buy it there. And wear your heavy clothes on the plane!  Internet Travel Tool or Resource: Couchsurfing, amazing for free stays and access to local knowledge (not just from your hosts, but from the Couchsurfing community!). Stuck on Earth, Trey Ratcliff's app. Favorite Travel Book: The Lord of the Rings, by JRR Tolkien Favorite Travel Gear: A scarf or sarong, which can be a towel, a cover up, a room divider, a camera prop, pillow... and it takes up no space or weight.  Weirdest Food: Pig Snout, at a Satay house in Malacca, Malaysia Mentioned on this Show Travel Longer, Billy's magazine Travel Longer on iTunes @travellonger Alex Jimenez's travel fashion blog The Planet D
