Real When Shared

This is the first part of "Thailand Tales", episodes where Naia will be sharing experiences from the time she backpacked solo for about 5 weeks. This 10th episode is all about the beginning of that journey.

In this week's episode, Naia is answering questions sent in from you! There were laughs, tears and wtf moments. All questions were submitted anonymously via SpeakPipe and the NGL app.

Naia tells the story of how she tried to get to New Zealand after a break up. She shares how she didn't make the flight and ended up spending time in Oahu instead.

Episode 7 takes us back to when Naia was 18 and got her first job. She shares what she did working at Canada's Wonderland and how she was eventually fired.

In this cheeky little episode Naia tells you why you need to try travelling solo. This means backpacking, NOT all-inclusive resorts! So many benefits await you.

Naia chats about what it's like living unconventionally in Episode 5. She recalls a time where she was attacked for simply living differently than most. An episode for the creatives, the outcasts, the nonconformists... the "black sheep".

In the 4th episode, Naia shares what it was like to trip on acid for the first time -- unexpectedly and with the intent only to micro-dose (oops!). It was a frightful day full of lovely little discoveries... and in hindsight, a comical adventure.

A few summers ago, Naia was on a Tinder date trekking the Echo Lake Trail in Squamish. Episode Three brings us on this adventure full of mishaps and miracles.

In Episode Two, Naia dives right in to recalling some wild times while "living the dream" in Whistler when she was younger. She talks about all the partying she survived through and somehow... she made it out alive to tell about it all.

In the very first episode of Real When Shared, Naia chats about how she landed on the West coast of Canada knowing nobody, why she left Ontario and how she ended up with a new name she gave herself.
