Apple Podcasts5Selfie ReviewerUnited States4 years ago - Great combination of education and inspiration!
This is a fantastic podcast for anyone interested in travel writing and photography. I particularly like that Yulia, like me, is not a native speaker but with her multiple articles in big name magazines, she proves (self)doubters wrong!
Great podcast to boost confidence, get practical advice and soak in the inspiration. Thank you, Yulia!
