Episode 25 - Venessa Mondoy: Passport To The World

Episode 25 is with Venessa Mondoy. Originally from the Philippines, now living in New York, we recorded this episode remotely while she was away travelling in Colombia - a truly global episode.

Travelling is Venessa’s addiction - as she says in the episode - some people spend their money on material possessions, she spends her money making memories around the globe. She first got the travel bug when she secured her American citizenship back in 2011, armed with a USA passport she has visited over 50 countries since then and is one of the few people I know who has managed to still travel during the pandemic.

In this episode we discuss robot waiters, how blood sausages can make somebody a part-time pescatarian, having a thick skin and much, much more.
