05. Ricardo Braz: what it means to be a travel photographer, the importance of connecting with like-minded individuals and how one can use social media in your favour

06. Otavio (Ted/Oto) Kuhn: from being an engineer living in São Paulo to an underwater scuba diver photographer in Indonesia - a journey to pursuit a passion

Tired of his occupation as an employed engineer, Otavio left the reality he knew in Sao Paulo, Brazil, to travel to Asia. What initiated as an unpretentious trip became a full-time job. Otavio tells us how diving gave him a purpose in life, how he combined his passions into a full-time job, and the challenges no one sees in this dream lifestyle. The importance of having various income streams, the difference between passion and hobby and the beauty of being open to unexpected outcomes are other topics that will (hopefully) inspire you to see things from a different perspective with this episode.

04. Sybil Juzwiak: introducing a new schooling system in Australia and what it means to live sustainably (with and without kids)

A few years ago, Sybil and two other friends created the first Nature School in Australia - an educational system inspired by the Scandinavian models of the forest schools that follow the principles of “ there’s no bad weather, only the wrong clothes”. In this episode, Sybil shares her path from being a travel and hospitality student in Switzerland to being an entrepreneur and now a mom of two living a sustainable lifestyle in Australia. The traditional schooling method, what it means to live sustainably and other life questions are put on the table for reflection. Want to connect with Sybil?

03. Kalina Juzwiak: being an artist, living from it fully and what it means to occupy your space

"my identity is my art" - that's how the multidisciplinary artist Kalina Juzwiak describes herself and her work.  It's all an integral part of who she is. One without the other (her without her art and her art without her) would be obsolete. Even though, through her words, we are all artists, she has not always filled "artist" as her profession. In this new episode of the podcast, you'll understand what brought her to this point in time, what she believes in and what it entails to be an artist after all - including the challenges that come with it, such as demystifying the bohemian view many still have from this lifestyle choice and entrepreneurial journey. Enjoy this talk with views on life, work, and why we should all occupy our spaces and be who we are in our essence.  (part of the mini-series about my sisters' unique journeys) You can see some of her work and connect through the below channels: instagram: @bykaju [https://www.instagram.com/bykaju/] her podcast: mergulhe em si [https://open.spotify.com/show/7kyCqj2ErkjUSkwdSdHzGj] website: kaju.space [https://www.kaju.space/] linkedin: @kalinajuzwiak [https://www.linkedin.com/in/kalinajuzwiak/] the movie we talked about: "The Conductor" [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6932818/]

02. Soren Knudsen: about growing up as a third culture kid and the challenges and opportunities linked to this type of upbringing

Have you ever heard about the term Third Culture Kids (TCK)? It is a term I first heard when exchanging messages with Soren Knudsen about the book he recently wrote.    In this episode, you’ll glimpse the story of an “explorer and writer”, as his friends describe him, or a “curious and interested” mind, as he calls himself.    It is a talk filled with stories and things to reflect on and get inspired by. Soren is the living translation of a third culture kid, growing up with multiple cultures and facing challenges and opportunities of this upbringing that brings together a group of individuals searching for a place to call home.    As promised, you can download his book by clicking on this link [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n3hhebm50sfmwdv/AAADaV_uVagXZyp3Arfw9pS1a?dl=0].
