Former Missouri Governor Jay Nixon said he's glad to have retired from politics and started living his new life.
Nixon joined Charlie Brennan on KMOX to tell him about his new passions -- one of them being hiking. The former legislator has been hiking all over the state of Missouri, and in Europe, too, most recently in Switzerland. He told Brennan that hiking has been a great way to explore.
"I think ultimately the highlight is when you're doing these sorts of things, you're walking through an area, you get to see the people talk to the people, see the business, you have all your meals along the way you stay in local hotels, it's just an interesting way to do it," Nixon said.
