🎉 Happy Independence Day, Argentina! To celebrate, we’re serving up a second helping of one of our most beloved episodes — a vibrant, flavorful conversation with Pato from Las Chicas de La Tres, the heart and soul of the Mercado Central in Buenos Aires.

If you’ve ever wondered what Argentine food culture really feels like — from empanadas and tortillas to local love, loyalty, and a dash of street food stardom — this is the episode for you. We chat about the power of food to bring people together, how their tiny kitchen feeds a rotating crowd of loyal locals and international visitors, and what it’s like to run a restaurant as a couple and business partners.

This episode is entirely in Spanish, so if you're a Spanish speaker or learning the language, dive in! And if you’ve seen them on Netflix’s Street Food: Latin America, you know this isn’t just food — it’s pure heart.

🎧 Listen, laugh, and maybe even plan your next meal (or trip) around their unforgettable story.

🎉 ¡Feliz Día de la Independencia, Argentina! Para festejar, les traigo una segunda porción de uno de los episodios más queridos: una charla llena de sabor y emoción con Pato de Las Chicas de La Tres, el alma del Mercado Central en Buenos Aires.

Hablamos de lo que significa la comida argentina como espacio de encuentro, del día a día en su cocina vertiginosa, de sus fieles clientes (algunos con platos fuera de menú personalizados), y de cómo fue aparecer en Street Food Latinoamérica de Netflix. También exploramos cómo equilibran ser pareja y socias, la magia de las empanadas, y los sueños que tienen para el futuro.

Este episodio está completamente en español, así que si hablás el idioma o lo estás aprendiendo, ¡no te lo pierdas! Y si ya las viste en Netflix, sabés que su historia va mucho más allá de la comida: es puro corazón.

🎧 Escuchalo, compartilo y quizás te inspires para tu próxima comida... o tu próximo viaje.

Shout out to anyone who gets the reference in the Title ;)

Originally aired on Diary of a Digital Nomad, this throwback episode is landing just in time for the 4th of July—because honestly, it feels more important than ever to talk about what “home” means.

In this episode, I share 7 reflections I’ve had about the United States since living and traveling abroad. Some are light, some are a little heavy, and some might hit especially hard right now—like why it’s okay to feel conflicted about patriotism, how work culture affects our lives, and what I’ve learned from seeing how other countries do things differently.

I also talk about the distinction between a country and its government—and why I still believe there’s a lot worth loving, celebrating, and fighting for.

Whether you’re celebrating, grieving, or just questioning what independence even means this year, you’re not alone. Let this be a space to reflect, feel, and maybe even find a little hope.

This week, I’m bringing back a favorite episode — a rich and delicious conversation with Sahar about Persian food, culture, and what life in Iran is really like beyond what most people ever get to see.

We talk about everything from sour stews and rice bellies to tahdig, kebabs, Nowruz traditions, and Sahar’s experience growing up in Tehran. You’ll learn about the incredible diversity across Iran’s regions — and yes, we even touch on controversial dishes involving sheep’s heads and yogurt drinks.

Sahar is warm, hilarious, and generous in sharing what Persian food means to her — and I walked away hungry and more connected to a place I knew very little about.

Whether this is your first time hearing the episode or you're tuning in again, I hope it leaves you curious, comforted, and craving saffron rice.
