Stories From Around

My name is Maryann Kariuki. I used to travel and write stories in my journal, give short snippets on Instagram about the incredible people I met, the architecture that blew my mind, and the places that changed my perspective on life. Then later on I thought about breathing more life to these stories, and that's how Stories From Around-The Podcast was born. To share my stories and interact with those that share the same passion with me; travel...and storytelling. And I can't wait to share all these and the lessons learnt with you. Thank you, for being here.

    15- Embracing Downtime...The Art Of Taking A Break.

    It's been 1 years and 6 months. A beautiful period of stories and growth, love and good things. Ah, what a time. During our last episode, I hinted at taking a longer break, so I could take some much deserved rest and give more attention to other loves of mine, like my blog (www.storiesfromaround.com) and my French classes. So the time has come for me to do just that. I'm taking a break from podcasting for a while, but this is not goodbye...I'll be back before you can say the word 'Maryaaaannn'. It's been such an honor to have you as may audience thus far. You've been the greatest. Thank you, and so much love. Maryann x SFA.

    12- In The Name Of Travel - The Art Of Learning A New Language.

    I'm publishing this one hours late because I've spent the whole day trying to find a fitting title. Whoever said podcasting was hard...forgot to mention that finding titles for your episodes was harder. But alas...at exactly 7:24pm on a nice rainy Wednesday evening...while tossing in bed after trying to find answers for my French assignment...I found a topic! Well...I'm still not sure if it's the right fit...but it'll do. It has to...unless some other topic comes to me while I'm making dinner. Anyyyway...I've been learning French for the past one year and whenever I get the chance to complain about it...I do. Because I love complaining about it...and also because it makes me both happy and grumpy...sometimes angry. And on today's episode, I let you in on how that happy, grumpy, angry journey has been...one year later! I'm still complaining....but at least I do it in a bit of French nowadays! So enjoy listening. And if you're learning a new language just so you can live in that country of your dreams or just so you can talk to your partner or just for yourself...for that street cred...then I wish you nothing but fun and the best of adventures with it! Love, Maryann Kariuki, SFA.

    11- An Amateurs Guide To Backpacking.

    I had my first ever backpacking trip 2 weeks ago. And I have a few things to say about it. First of all...it changed who I am as a person and I felt so light in the streets, walking and strutting like I had no care in the world! You should try it out. And if you're an avid back packer...what are your best backpacking tips?

    10- Milan. The City Of Great Architecture...And Even Greater Panini's.

    I thought I loved the architecture in Paris, until I saw the Duomo in Milan. Paris, don't get me wrong, I'm still very much in love with you it's just that right now, there's a bit of competition having been in Milan. It was grand, it was flamboyant and extremely beautiful and full of life. Of course now you know what this episode is about...me raving about Milan and all the things I loved about it! And if you've ever been to Milan, hey, I wanna here what you thought about it:)

    09- A Few Great Days In Zagreb.

    Hvala...is how you say thank you in Croatian. Learn it, you'll need it some day when you visit or you've already used it if you've been there. I said thank you so many ties to people in the streets and in shops and in restaurants and in bars when I was there because the people were so kind! And this week's episode is an appreciation of all the beauty that was the small city of Zagreb, and all its people and great food:)
