This episode is pure magic ā recorded on a cliff after a sunrise hike at 5 a.m., Birdie sits down with Nicholas (our guest from Italy) to reflect on life, death, and everything in between.
From the vibrant streets of Oaxaca during DĆa de los Muertos to a heart-pounding moment in the waves of La Punta, this oneās packed with adventure, culture, and a good dose of mezcal-fueled musings.
Weāre diving into what makes Mexico so special, like its beautiful relationship with death, the buzzing energy of its street food, and the unspoken rules for picking the perfect taqueria. And of course, Nicholas, as an Italian, weighs in on the only coffee order that really makes sense.
Oh, and Birdie? Sheās sharing her brush with mortality in the Pacific Ocean and how itās shaped her view on life. Packed with a sprinkle of dangerous half-knowledge and a chat about insects as the protein of the future, and youāve got a conversation thatās both heartfelt and hilarious.
