    Anthony Bourdain quotation: “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”

    "Stories in Motion" with Hauwa

    "Stories in Motion" with Hauwa

    Episode 7: This week, we fly with Hauwa, an engaging travel blogger, YouTuber, and content creator with a unique gift of storytelling--not only with words, but also with video. Hauwa starts off with her first journey as a teenager through her home country, Ghana (Africa) and takes us through the capital city, Accra. Most recently she has returned from Senegal; this transformative destination impressed her with their procedures in place during the pandemic. Hauwa beautifully bridges the gap between travelling as a kid and as an adult, all while painting a portrait--not only of herself and her brand, Shesuthman, but also a portrait of every city she steps into. As we learn how to travel ethically, we also learn how travel unifies us as people.

    "Travelling on the Job" with Marquita Jennings

    "Travelling on the Job" with Marquita Jennings

    On today's episode, I take to the skies with traveller, photographer, and content creator, Marquita Jennings. Originally bitten by the travel bug as a teenager exploring the Bahamas with her aunt, she returned to travel as an Auditor. Initially, she travelled domestically as an auditor, blending various cultures to get the job done. Later, as she grew seasoned, she explored China, Russia, and Brazil! Kita brings a wealth of knowledge on travelling while on the job--a perspective that, at times, can differ from the leisure traveller. She also speaks on travelling to Bermuda during the global pandemic.
