Women of the World

In the final episode of season 1, I sit down with Hattie, one of the co-founders of the Travelling Whale which is a woman-run tour agency focusing on sustainable adventures. We talk about the choice of name (trust me, it’s really interesting!), what the poop loop is, how it’s been running a travel agency during the pandemic, and much more.

The lovely Jess joins me this week to chat about how the pandemic has pushed her to explore more of her country, Australia. She gives some great advice and tips on where to go and what to do while being down under. We also chat about traveling while Asian and how her experiences have been abroad. Are you as excited as I am for this episode? Then press play!

In the fourth episode of Women of the World podcast, I invited the exuberant and fun Teresa Maria to talk about why she moved from Finland to pursue her dreams elsewhere in Europe. She shares how it’s been living in different countries around Europe, the differences, similarities, challenges, and the privileges of being a white woman in Europe. You won’t want to miss this episode.

Today I’m joined by Amina from Indy Odyssey Travel, a brilliant startup that offers ethical trips catered to women by women. We discuss the lack of diversity in the traveling industry, what she thinks needs to change, and how representation is oftentimes biased.

In today’s episode I talk to my dear friend Michala Remas whom I met in South Korea. We chat about why she thinks South Korea is a good place to move to, how it’s been navigating in the country as a South African woman, and she spills some tea on how dating has been so far! With that said, we also discuss the problems with fetishization of both foreigners and Koreans and why it can be harmful.

In the first ever episode of Women of the World, I talk to Harriet Owalla, a travel journalist from Kenya. We discuss how it is traveling in her home country Kenya, how she wants to break stereotypes about how the “typical” traveler often looks like, and what challenges she has faced when she has traveled as not only a journalist but also as a woman of color.

Welcome to my new Podcast that will talk about everything travel and backpacking related. After having journeyed in over 60 countries in the world and lived in 8, I thought it was time to share my passion with the world. Let’s start this adventure!
