One of the best things about being in Taiwan for an extended period is meeting one my favorite podcasters!! Susie is the brilliant podcaster behind 雪梨台灣阿姐的碎碎念 (華語). She's very consistent at content creation. There's so much I admire about her. What a treat for me that we were able to connect in person! She's feeling the Camino's calling, and interviews me about my walk on the Camino Portuguese! Here's the uncut version of our conversation + our YouTube video.

The topic of today's discussion is a quick overview of what personal storytelling means to us, as it's been a key part of my life the past few years. Eric and I met a few years ago when I was in the beginning stages of podcasting and simultaneously working through some painful moments.

台中的三星尼泊爾手工藝品 Three Stars Nepal in Taichung, Taiwan After joining a community sound bath experience hosted by my Vipasanna roommate in Taichung, we went to the first shop in Taiwan to sell Himalayan singing bowls (頌缽) and other Nepali gifts and products.

I went back the next day to interview the owner, Surya, for the podcast. He had a n ..read more

在台灣嘉義內觀中心的感想 十一月底去嘉義參加十天的冥想。有很多想法。。。 我以為會有很多外國來的人，但好像只有我！ 聽英文也難（有時候猜不出印度口音），聽中文也難（有很多我知道的字跟詞）。 一天要坐十個小時（不是連續坐）非常難。 在外面可以走走，但有時間限制也不能明顯的運動。 到了第十天才能講話，滑手機，寫東西。 還好吃得非常好（謝謝法工！）！ 到了第十天才能與室友聊天。 我們有好多話！自我成長，心裡治療，等等。 用英文寫的感想（有照片！） __ Check out ⁠https://dispatchfromtaiwan.com⁠, a recently released 5-episode podcast that delves into the policy debates within Taiwan that could have implications for the region and beyond.  __ ⁠⁠www.taiwanesediaspora.com⁠⁠ Instagram ⁠⁠@twdiaspora --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/twdiaspora/support ..read more
