Memoirs From Abroad

After a long duration of time away from the podcasting world, I have decided to upload three episodes before a hiatus to take care of elements within my personal life. Without further ado, here is another interview episode with my friend Jamaican-Canadian friend, Kay Alexandria, who talks about exploring her Caribbean roots on infamous reggae island with her ex-boyfriend and his family. We also dived into myths and truths about Jamaican people since many people around the world only knows us as weed smoking Rastas, which is far from the truth!

In this episode, my cousin Carrera, a long-time resident of China, and I discuss the perception of dark-skinned or African people within China and South Korea. We compare and contrast between the two East Asian nations to inform the listeners of the existing treatment toward certain foreigners within two distinct nations in Asia. 

In this second part of my interview with my cousin Carrera, she delightfully talks about her experience in her top favorite country, Israel. We laughed and chilled talking about her interest in ancient history, Christianity, living as a Bedouin for a night, camel riding, and the political conflict within the country that led to a frightening end to her trip! Oh no!!

In this first episode of the second season, I interviewed my friend Daniie about her trip to Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. She details the various places she visited, Japanese life and people, comparisons between Korea and Japan, and lastly the delicious and inexpensive cuisines found at...wait for it...7/11! Near the end she discusses her experience of racism and intolerance from a French individual during a dinner party with diverse guests. 

In this last episode of the series, "Travels with My Trump Loving Father," I detail the last part of our trip to Egypt, where my father and I nearly paid a fine for taking photos at Valley of the Kings, got into an argument with a European couple, and my father touting how much he wanted to leave Egypt. 

Taking a break from my strange series, "Travels w/ My Trump Loving Father," a friend and ESL teacher here in South Korea took the time to be a guest on my show to explain political ideas and policies and ways to vote from abroad.

Nearly the last part of this series (I promise!). In this episode of the series, "Travels with My Trump Loving Father," I discussed the attitude my dad had toward the Egyptian politics and how he constantly compated U.S. and Egyptian society on an economic level in front of our tour guide along with some interesting facts about the ancient nation. 

Short episode detailing travels with my Trump loving father in Ukraine (only a layover) and our first day in Cairo, Egypt. Take a drive down memory lane with me as I talk about my father's thoughts on civil European conflicts, capitalism, and his first thoughts on Egypt. 

Vatican City & Venice were my two next destinations with my Trump loving father. In this episode, I detailed my father's disdain for religion, the Catholic church, and the Vatican City; while he admired the beautiful canal city of Venice. Just a warning, if you are into political correctness or a Catholic, I highly recommend forwarding about 25 minutes into the episode, otherwise, you can listen to me discuss my father's experience in Italy. Ciao!
