The last Q&A was one of the most listened-to episodes of Slow Travel Diaries—so we’re bringing it back.

This time, I asked a few close friends to send in questions they were genuinely curious about—and they delivered.

We cover everything from slow travel and burnout to identity and building a sense of home on the move.

Bonus: I’m joined by my boyfriend, Bal Sieber, for the last segment to answer a few couples' questions together.

This month, I spent four weeks in Marseille—and I’ll be honest, it wasn’t the easiest city to settle into.

In this Looking Back episode, I’m sharing what made it challenging, what helped me feel grounded, and what I’ll take with me.

We’ll get into the city’s deep-rooted history, its complex present, and how that tension shows up in everyday life—from its layered neighborhoods to its midday rhythms.

I’ll also walk through what I’d do if I were just visiting for a few days, plus the things I wish I’d known before coming to this part of France.
