For most people, Colombia rhymes with Pablo Escobar and drug trafficking. I even had the image of a dangerous country even though I didn't know it!

When I arrived in Australia, I had the chance to meet Pedro and Andrea, 2 Colombians. Over time, we became friends. What struck me was their kindness, their simplicity and their big hearts.

Today, Andrea tells us about her childhood in Medellin, the impact of drug trafficking on her life but also the beauties of her country Colombia and her new life in Australia.

I must warn you: at the end of this episode you'll want to go to Colombia just like me!

I met Gaby in Newcastle at the restaurant where we both work. She's always smiling and when she laughs I can hear her from the dining room! Over time, we became friends. She's a bit of a crazy woman, like all my friends—with character and a lot of determination.

In today's episode, she takes us to Brazil. She tells us about her journey and life in Brazil as a woman.

So grab a vanilla iced latte or something else and enjoy listening!

Before embarking on a trip, introductions are in order!

In this episode, I'll introduce myself and share key moments in my life that have shaped the woman I am today.

I started with several observations:

• Travel has become a checklist
• We no longer take the time to connect with others
• Since the advent of social media, we've never been so alone, even though we feel connected to the entire world

I want to challenge all of this.

Going back to basics:

• Taking the time to build relationships
• Listening, learning, and being inspired by each other's life stories

Enjoy!

Two years ago, I went to Bali.

Spoiler alert: I didn't really like it. It's too touristy for my taste.

One of my favorite moments was the sunrise over Mount Batur. It was really amazing! I was able to book this activity online through a specialized website.

But there was one activity that really bothered me: a tour of the island's Instagrammable spots! What the hell is that?!

Where have the encounters gone? The human connections?

Traveling isn't just about standing in line to take a picture of some Instagrammable spot that everyone else has already done.

I find this view sad and reductive, but unfortunately, it reflects the world we live in. Through this podcast, I'd like to offer a counterpoint to all of that: to take the time to build connections, to discover the wonders of this world.

Hi, I'm Tiffany, and I'm taking you on a journey to discover world cultures through the eyes of women.

What? You still haven't noticed that we live in a world imagined, created, and ruled by white men?! Really?

Enjoy!
