In this episode of Poshcast, Pyper and Karla take us on a journey through Syria, exploring the country's rich cultural heritage and its post-war struggles.
Karla shares her personal experience of returning to her homeland after 12 years, shedding light on the similarities and differences between Syrian and Western culture, and how it has changed from when she lived there as a child.
We delve into many aspects of Syrian life, including food, fashion, family, and traditions. We also confront the harsh realities of life in a post-war Syria, discussing the challenges that still exist for its people (& how most of us wouldn't last a day with controlled electricity outages).
With Karla as our guide, we get an intimate look into the beauty and complexity of Syria. She shares stories that are both heartwarming and chilling, providing a well-rounded view of this fascinating land.
Enjoy this insider's view of one of the world's most captivating countries, complete with anecdotes about missiles and talk of the world's best bread.
Tune in now to expand your knowledge and appreciation of Syrian culture, and to finally get an answer to the question you spammed Karla with last year: "why the f*** would anyone go to Syria?".
This is not the last episode about Syria, ask us any questions you have for the next Syria episode via Spotify Q&A or our socials.
We are currently in the process of writing a book about Karla's journey home, we'll keep you updated on the progress!
