    S1E9 Where To Go Next with David: Back and forth

    David spent his twenties traveling between China and the US, and has grown into a dad with two lovely daughters from the amateur expat he was. This episode briefly touches on his stories through the lens of an anthropologist, a working professional, a young parent, and etc. As he moved back and forth between the two largest entities, his roles were dynamically changing and has now put on more different hats when juggling around life. This episode is a toast to the golden age of creative freedom and to the courage to embrace reality.  Music Credits: Fast and Run by Nico Staf Communicator by Reed Mathis

    S1E8 Where To Go Next with Cyd: You can be even more of yourself and that's okay!

    Happy (belated) International Women’s Day! Our friend Cyd took us back to her life in Ethopia and shared how it was quite an unexpected journey for a Westerner. The three of us also talked about processing grief, safety concerns, life as an athlete, and other intimate topics. Although the conversation was recorded in August 2020, we still feel the emotions preserved through our voices when listening back to it today.

    S1E4 Where To Go Next with Cate and Veronika: From Prague, with Love

    Cate and Veronika met in 2012 in England. They were both new, as it turns out, were both Czech. But Czech is a language spoken only by ten million people in a small country situated between Germany and Austria. So what does it mean to be Czech to Veronika who had grown up in Bucharest, Budapest, Johannesburg, Moscow and London? What does being Czech mean to Cate when everyone only saw her as American despite her never having lived there before 2015?

    S1E3 Where To Go Next with Tian: It doesn't matter from where to where

    Gab met Tian in summer, 2018, after she had her second near-death experience in Cape Town, South Africa. During her darkest moments in life, Tian's kindness to her as a stranger gave her hope and light, and helped her rebuild trust with the world right after the accident. Two years later, the two friends caught up like old pals, and had a very fluid but fun conversation.  In addition, Gab would love to honor this episode to Tian, to Cape Town, and to all the beautiful, loving people she met there...Thank you, Tian, Nosi, Zozo, Cordelia, Natasha, and so many others.for being part of my life! 3 Tian's episode description:  A fire can be any shape it wants to be. It's free. So it can look like anything at all, depending on what's inside the person looking at it. If you get this deep, quiet kind of feeling when you look at a fire, that's because it's showing you the deep, quiet kind of feeling you have inside yourself… But it doesn’t happen with just any fire. For something like this to happen, the fire itself has to be free. It won’t happen with a gas stove or a cigarette lighter. It won’t even happen with an ordinary bonfire. For the fire to be free, you’ve got to make it in the right kind of place. Which isn’t easy.  Not just anybody can do it. --- Haruki Murakami Quote from the book: After the Quake https://b-ok.cc/book/1930225/8aa85e Music Credits:  A Caring Friend by Bad Snacks Miles Beyond by Quincas Moreira Sea Space by Emily A.
