Robin Lewis: Betsy, cooking oil, and life-saving bone marrow transplants

August 1, 2025

[PODCAST]

Now, we take you on a road trip unlike any other—a journey powered not just by purpose, but also… by cooking oil!

The founders of Numinous Expeditions, a humanitarian-driven travel initiative born out of a life-changing moment in 2017. After recovering from a bone marrow transplant, Jolandie Lewis made a promise to live a life of meaning – and together with her partner, Robin, they hit the road across Africa in a truck named Betsy, driven by compassion and, quite literally, vegetable oil.

Joining us now is Robin to talk about their mission, the mechanics behind running a truck on used cooking oil, and the extraordinary lives they’ve touched through projects like Matches on the Map, which recently celebrated a real, life-saving donor match.
