Today, my guest on the podcast is Stephanie Garcia. Stephanie is a traveler who worked and lived in a London hostel for three years. She has spent much time teaching children and showing them there's more to life than books.

In this conversation, Steph and I dive into her travels, the most important one being, or the focal point, the hostel, because, from my own experience, the hostel doesn't have a large play in what I thought about it. I hadn't realized how many variations on a hostel there could be, and also around the stigma of it.

For someone like Steph, who said I'm going to live here and work here for three years, it is one of those moments that shape and define how you view the world. It seems so out of the ordinary, especially as someone who's grown and lived in a grown-up and lived in an area that is roughly where I've always lived. We get into other stories that Steph finds meaningful throughout the conversation, from favorite travel places to levels.
