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.

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.
