This episode I have my friend Vivian Dao to chat about all the bitter, sweet and horrifying things that happened to us when traveling!

*I’m currently experimenting with different podcast format - with this episode being a completely spontaneous chat. As a result I re-recorded two of my segments for Spain. The segments contain a more detailed description of the experience and places but may be a little monotone.
