Society EN ↓ 221 episodes

This isn't your ordinary travel nor journal podcast, – it's a rollercoaster of laughter, adventures, and a touch of 'inner work' (or maybe just 'inner confusion?'). Alina's misadventures, tales of travel, and ongoing quest for personal growth will have you in stitches while inspiring you to break out of your comfort zone and chase your dreams. Join us this season as Alina settles in her 6th country, juggles married life, and digs deep into the mysteries of inner work and mental health. It's a journey where humor is the best travel companion.

Because unfortunately, it wasntæt as easy as I was expecting.

You probably know I love Gilmore Girls so much. It's one of the shows I have watched from start to finish probably more than 10 times. The first time, I watched it back in the early 2000s when I was in high school and later on I kept rewatching because it made more sense in a different way. And I also transitioned from seeing myself in Rory to seeing myself in Lorelai. A lot to unpack there. ...
