What happens when the people who make a city feel like home can no longer afford to live in it?

From Lisbon to Barcelona, cities are facing a growing tension between tourism, housing, and the people who call these places home.

In this episode, we explore rising rents, short-term rentals, property investment, and the role governments play in shaping our cities. Tourism creates jobs and supports local businesses. But what happens when the needs of visitors begin to outweigh the needs of residents?

Is tourism the problem, or is it about how we manage it, who benefits, and what we choose to prioritise?

Because a city is more than a destination. It is someone's home.

What happens when money measures everything?

In this episode of An Honest Devia, we look at how our relationship with money has changed, from respecting doctors, engineers, scientists and people who built something meaningful, to increasingly treating wealth itself as proof of intelligence, success and character.

We talk about the rise of the billionaire as a public figure, the transformation of CEOs into celebrity personalities and the growing influence of extreme wealth on culture, technology and politics.

From rented luxury lifestyles and the online “millionaire” economy to AI changing the meaning of work and coding, we ask a bigger question: what happens to a society when money becomes the strongest incentive we give people?

The story isn't simply about billionaires. It's about all of us, and the things we decided to reward.

This episode is a look at how corporate structures actually work, the growth and profit above everything else, competition crushed until one company owns the whole market, and the cost of that always landing hardest on the people at the bottom. We get into IKEA, Amazon, Boeing, CEO pay, and how much of it we keep choosing to feed ourselves.

Why would someone risk their life just to reach another piece of land? The Ceuta migration crisis reveals something uncomfortable about desperation, hope, misinformation, and the decisions people make when staying begins to feel more dangerous than leaving.

In this episode of AN HONEST DEVIA PODCAST, we look at the people who moved toward Ceuta after false information spread online, the hope that made that misinformation believable, and the way politicians and people in power responded to the crisis.

We spend so much of our lives trying to escape boredom. But what if boredom was never empty? What if it was the quiet space where we discovered who we are? In this episode, I reflect on childhood, creativity, technology, and the conversations we have with ourselves when nothing else is asking for our attention.

We often judge people by how they make us feel in a moment. But kindness isn't always soft, and politeness isn't always care. This episode explores why we so often confuse the two—and what that confusion costs us.

Migration changes more than our address—it changes the way we belong. In this episode, we explore the quiet trade between freedom and community, the loneliness that often goes unspoken, and the search for a place that feels like home. Not an answer, but an invitation to reflect.

Success changes your circumstances. Happiness seems to follow different rules. A quiet conversation about ambition, fulfilment, and the question many of us never stop asking.

Beneath the spectacle and the expensive smiles, something quieter is always being lost. I have been thinking about who absorbs it. Who adjusts. Who we never bother to ask. And the voices that do speak , somehow always get lost on the way. Somewhere in that question, I found myself too.
