Duluwa Talks

In this episode, we catch up with Madina from Khan Quest, who is on a world tour with her husband Kyle. They came to Nepal after learning about the country from a server in Dubai and when her #tiktok comments were off the roof with people asking her to come to Nepal. She started travelling just before the pandemic with her husband and their channel has been growing since. In this episode, Madina shares about how contrary to popular belief, marriage brought her freedom and what life is like travelling with her husband and being recognised on the streets as an influencer. We also dive deep into the realities of full time travel and how Madina has had a range of experience when it comes to women's everyday life realities around the world. 

Make sure you listen till the end for a fatafat rapid fire with Madina!
