I once had a girlfriend who left me for India, and since we’ve lost touch, I can’t ask her about South Asia. A few years later, I embark on my own adventure. Today, I’m joined by Aishwarya, who’s frequently Out of Office. We chat about the unpredictability of travel and dive into whether India is a safe place for women to live or visit. Without my ex’s perspective, I’m especially eager to hear from a true native instead!

Travelling Through Conversation came to me whilst living in a backpackers’ hostel. Most nights I’d sit at the bar, drink a beer and meet strangers from around the world.

One conversation that stood out was with a chap called Zé from Brazil. He told me how he’d got a milk box carton tattooed on his arm – a drunken moment with friends led him to the idea. Now we’ve both agreed, when I visit Zé in South America, I’ll get the same tattoo on my arm.

It’s moments like these, which make me want to speak with people. Each episode is a conversation. Between myself and a stranger from a different country. The goal is to communicate with them all and to see what happens.
