In the first episode of Escape With Nate, I sit down with my friend Nzingha Stewart, the incredible writer, director (Little Fires Everywhere, Grey’s Anatomy) and purveyor of superb destinations. In the episode, Nzingha reveals her favorite travel destination of all time – Morocco! She shares with me how she fell in love with not only the country, but her now husband, Mouhssine; and the three Moroccan weddings that followed. No, that is not a typo – three weddings, all to the same man. Nzingha discusses how writing a location based script during the pandemic has given her a way to travel differently, and how she strongly advocates (when it's safe again) that all women find opportunities to travel -- as if their lives depended on it. Finally, she breaks down her packing rituals, which rival that of even the most experienced travelers in the game. Don’t miss this inaugural episode of Escape With Nate.
