episode 2. Healing and Solo Travel ft. Manasi Mishra artwork

2. Healing and Solo Travel ft. Manasi Mishra

I will say it and say it again, and then say it one more time. Solo travel can be one of the most rewarding, transformational, and healing things we can do for ourselves. It is deeply empowering, and I firmly believe that it makes us more confident, open-minded, curious individuals. Solo travel brings not only so much dimension to our understanding of the world, but also our understanding of self. In Episode 2 of There & Back Again, I talk to my dear friend Manasi about her first-ever solo adventure, to Colombia, and the impact it had on her healing journey towards being more comfortable in her solitude. She shares what she learned about herself in her two-week adventure and offers reassurance to anyone who is feeling nervous about taking a solo adventure.  Manasi Mishra is an activist and social justice communications professional based in Seattle. She is passionate about healing justice, particularly about how communities heal together and in connection with nature. Connect with her on Instagram @maa.nuh.see.  Thank you, Manasi, for sharing your journey on this project. And thank you listeners for being here!  For more of my creative work - ⁠https://linktr.ee/kanangole⁠ [https://linktr.ee/kanangole]  If you’re feeling like you want to solo travel, but you’re nervous about it and don’t know where to begin, check out my first audio project, “A Brief Guide to Solo Travel”. It’s in this list of episodes.  Thank you! See you next week :).

episode 1. To the Motherland artwork

1. To the Motherland

I'm excited to launch another audio project!! Today I'm sharing Episode 1 of "There & Back Again", an audio project that centers mindful travel full of respect, reflection, love, and the understanding that all of us in this world are far more similar than we are different. I was inspired to continue my exploration of this medium while talking (endlessly) about large themes such as transformation and curiosity and open-mindedness in travel. Episode 1 - To the Motherland I talk a lot about India and being Indian-American. I talk about how much that country means to me, and how I'm so grateful that my parents sent me there almost every summer as a kid. That country built me just as much as the United States has. As a result, I love hearing stories from other diaspora kids on their travels to the motherland and how it impacted their understanding of their own identities. So a few months ago, I asked some friends to record the story of their first time visiting - or returning to - their motherlands. I asked them to share a moment, a memory, and what they learned from that journey, about themselves and their families. I am so grateful to my friends for taking the time to make this beautiful episode. Please listen, share, and leave a review or comment. Thank you!

episode A Brief Guide to Solo Travel #2 - Answering a Few Questions About Solo Travel artwork

A Brief Guide to Solo Travel #2 - Answering a Few Questions About Solo Travel

In this episode, I’m attempting to answer tough questions that I’ve been asked about solo travel. In answering these questions, I think about how identity influences the way we see the world and how the world perceives us.  I also want to say - I’ve used certain country examples in this episode because I visited them recently and they were at the top of mind. I am not trying to say that certain places are “unsafe", but I’m actually attempting to make layers and avoid generalizations - the media makes us more afraid than we need to be when it comes to countries/cities with majority BIPOC populations.  Timestamps, in case you want to break things up:  Question 1 - 1:39 Question 2 - 9:02 Question 3- 23:53 Question 4 - 29:29 Question 5 - 35:53 Please leave a comment below or a star rating if you enjoyed this episode and please do share with your networks. Thank you!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
