  • Episode 121: Stop 9: Groningen
    Moving on from Ghent, I traveled to the city of Groningen, located in the north of the Netherlands. The city was absolutely beautiful and I really enjoyed the time that I spent there. The experiences that marked me the most, however, were those accompanied by my host, Leo. Leo is 67 years old and is happier and more positive than almost everyone else I’ve ever met. The conversations and experiences that I had with him were nothing short of inspiring. Seeing his happiness, eagerness to learn, and desire to continue seeing the world and the people inside of it truly moved me. This podcast is focused on him, and I am so grateful to be able to share these experiences with you all here. Thanks so much again for tuning in! I’ll be back soon for Stop 10: the city of lights, Paris! Much love❤️

  • Episode 120: Stop 8: Ghent
    Moving on from Prague, I flew to Brussels and then took a train to Ghent (which was a journey that started at 3 AM, putting me in a state of more yawns than I produce in this episode). The time I spent in Ghent was different but still enjoyable. The three days I spent there led me to these 2 reflections: 1. People are different and you may be very different from others. But that’s okay! Be secure with who you are and with why you’re that way, and understand that you can still enjoy yourself while you’re alone. And 2. Develop meaningful connections with professionals in your field. Go out there and meet them and have meaningful conversations with them and develop meaningful relationships. These can only serve as positive interactions for you, whether they go incredibly smoothly or not. Thanks again for tuning in. Next stop, Groningen in the Netherlands! Much love ❤️

  • Episode 119: Stop 7: Prague
    Hey everyone. We’re on the go again! I left Berlin and headed to Prague in mid-June, where I stayed for a few days. I really enjoyed my time there thanks to my personal guide and dear friend, Kát’a, along with my great AirBnB host, Lenka. It was a fascinating experience which led to a strong reflection for me upon leaving. Given that there is a definite cultural and societal difference in the Czech Republic compared to Western Europe and the US, my experience there exposed me to different people, places, customs, social dynamics, and pretty much everything else we experience in life. This experience led me to one big theme: Expose yourself to new ideas and new ways of life. Learning about places and people that are different allows you to grow in so many ways, but especially in your perspective. I hope you enjoy listening to this reflection, and I’ll be back soon for our next stop: Ghent, Belgium! Much love ❤️

  • Episode 118: Stop 6: Berlin
    Today, I move on from Barcelona to Berlin, a city that I didn’t have many expectations for that had the most “foreign” nature to it for me in my journey up to that point. During my time in the city, I realized and reflected on the great value of people in our lives. Through out connections with others, we are able to do so much and live so much better. I elaborate on this in today’s episode and I hope that you can find at least some value in this talk. Thanks again for tuning in. Much love for all of you! ❤️ Next stop, Prague!

  • Episode 117: Stop 5: Barcelona
    Today, we move on from Manchester to Barcelona. A very different place which has held a place in my heart since the 3 weeks I spent there 2 summers ago. Today, I talk about the reflections I had while walking the streets and the importance of getting into your own shoes in the past and appreciating your own evolution and growth as a person over time. These experiences were so powerful for me, so I hope that you enjoy it or find something of value in it. Much love! 😊😍
