Journeys & Reflections
I just finished listening to the first three episodes. I am really inspired by the interviews and Yulia’s personal stories as well. I am excited to get insights from so many different perspective of travel and travel professionals.
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!
