About this listen

The Global Gratitude Show

After graduating from American University in Washington, DC, with BA’s in Political Science and International Studies, Tania Anderson was hired as an international flight attendant by the iconic Pan American World Airways which set her on a course to explore the world’s continents. After Pan Am’s bankruptcy, Tania’s airline career expanded even more, to fly VIP charters, the White House press corps, convicts, film crews, refugees, military personnel, religious pilgrims, and medical transplant teams…..”everything” Tania admits, “Except rendition flights for the CIA!”

In 1991, the USAF awarded Tania the Civilian Desert Shield and Desert Storm medal for Outstanding Achievement. During the First Gulf War, Tania flew troops close to the war zone under possible SCUD missile attack.

In the 1990’s Tania lobbied on Capitol Hill as a volunteer for international human rights for “Those who do not have a voice.”

In 2000, Tania joined the Screen Actors Guild and worked as an extra in films directed by Steven Spielberg, the Coen Brothers and Oliver Stone. She was also a “regular” on the popular TV series “The West Wing,” “Dharma & Greg,” and “The Practice” among others.

In 2021, Tania worked flights transporting Ukrainian civilians to western Europe to learn how to defend their villages. Later that year, Atlas Air presented Tania with a Certificate of Appreciation for serving in Operation Allies Refuge, airlifting Afghani translators to America.

In 2024, Tania’s first memoir, “On Butterflies’ Wings,” was published. It chronicled the anecdotes and diverse, cosmopolitan adventures she has experienced while living in seven countries out of the seventy-nine she has visited. Her love for writing was sparked while attending an exclusive, co-ed school in England. She recounted intriguing interactions with her extraordinary universal classmates, many of whom were princes or offspring of Hollywood celebrities. Currently, Tania is still in touch with lifelong friends from Millfield. Tania has also had the honor of meeting five American presidents, King Birendra of Nepal, President Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa at her home in Calcutta.

“Synchronicity – The Escapades Continue” will be the second memoir of the series.

Tania is thrilled to become the host of “The Global Gratitude Show.”

Her experiences will now come to life for an international audience. She will have the

idyllic opportunity to honor some of the luminaries she has met along Life’s journey.

  • The Global Gratitude Show with Natalie Butcher

    With more than 47 years in the airline industry, Natalie has built a life shaped by adventure, resilience, and a deep appreciation for people. The experience gave her countless stories and a unique perspective, grounded in a strong work ethic and an easy ability to connect with others.

Now she is the sous chef at "Meals on Wheels" volunteering and making 500 meals a day, three days a week supporting the community and making a difference close to home.

  • The Global Gratitude Show with Paris Norriss
    Apr 27 2026

    Paris Norriss is not your average TV personality and public figure - fuelled by insatiable curiosity and thirst for adventure, this Dubai-based force of nature is unstoppable. From early on in his life, being conventional was never in the cards for him and that’s one of the few things he never dared to try.

    Growing up on the grounds of a stately home nestled in the dense woods of Longleat, England, raw nature was his playground and medium to further develop his innate talent for exploring. Always (hyper)active, his exceptional aptitude for physical activities earned him a highly-coveted scholarship as he competed as a Decathlete for Millfield School, internationally renowned for its sporting prowess. ​

    Constantly striving to be at the top, it was only natural that within only 2 hours after completing his final exams at Edinburgh University, he embarked on a one-way trip to the world’s fastest growing city: Dubai. Whilst monetarily rewarding, his swift success in strategising, raising investment and launching business ventures, started to become less and less fulfilling on an emotional level. Keen to live a truly extraordinary life, he had an epiphany: to combine his entrepreneurial flair, business know-how, and trailblazing inquisitiveness to redesign his path.

    Today, Paris's brainchild, the TV show ‘Guy in Dubai’, captivates audiences on over 12 major streaming platforms worldwide, including Amazon Prime, OSN, and Emirates Airlines' ICE. Guided by his mission to savour the journey as much as he cherishes the destination, Paris employs his TV shows as powerful vehicles to explore the world through the lens of adventure and ignite a fire in others to share a similar outlook on life.

    With his new show ‘Guy in The Sky’, he has already embarked on thrilling adventures across Ireland, Poland, KSA, and Malta with plenty more awe-inspiring escapades in the pipeline. ​
