About this listen

Two years ago, I went to Bali.

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


One of the moments I enjoyed most was the sunrise on Mount Batur. It was really great! I was able to book this activity online on a specialized website. But there's one activity that made me raise an eyebrow: a tour of the island's Instagrammable spots! What the f**k?!

But where have the encounters gone? The human connections?

Traveling isn't just about standing in line to take a photo of an Instagrammable place that everyone has already done. I find this vision sad and reductive, but it reflects the world we unfortunately live in.


Through this podcast, I'd like to take the opposite approach: take the time to create connections, discover the wonders of this world.


Hi, I'm Tiffany and I'm taking you on a journey to discover the cultures of the world through women's eyes. What? You still haven't noticed that we live in a world imagined, created and run by white men?!

Really?

    From Sao Paulo to Newcastle with Gaby
    Dec 16 2025

    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!

  • The story behind this podcast by Tiffany

    The story behind this podcast by Tiffany
    Dec 14 2025

    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!
