It's Time For Recess is a podcast where I sit down with friends and guests to share casual conversations about travel, culture, and everything in between. Each episode features either a one-on-one interview or a group discussion, where we share personal travel stories about places we’ve been, cultures we’ve experienced, and the moments and learnings that stuck with us along the way. From unforgettable trips to small cultural moments, we explore the ways the world shapes us, one conversation at a time.
