Following Paraluman is not your ordinary podcast. In this series, we aim to talk about different kind of things and topics ranging from art, culture, travel, faith and so on. The word 'paraluman' means 'muse' in my native tongue, Tagalog. We aspire to follow everything and everyone who inspires us creatively, personally and spiritually.
Stuck in Latin America During the Start of the Pandemic feat. Pius Ditachmair
I've told this story time and time again. I was in Latin America when the pandemic hit, and it has been one of the most stressful moments in my life. However, it's always great to have a different perspective when it comes to stories like this. So for this episode, I've decided to invite one of my best pals, who also happened to be stuck in Latin America early in 2020, Pius Ditachmair.
Pius was in El Salvador and Guatemala for his Civil Service, which is mandatory in Austria. Due to the pandemic, he had to move back after just 7 months. Still, he stays passionate about travelling, and he likes to dive deeper into different cultures. He currently lives in Linz and works at IKEA's Communication and Interior Design Department. This fall, he'll be moving to Vienna to study Product and Interior Design. Until that, he is about to get lost travelling as far as travel restrictions allow it.
Join us on this episode as we discussed our struggles, excitement, and one-in-a-lifetime experience of being stuck on a different continent as a global pandemic shooked the world.

A Way Abroad feat. Kat Smith
Nowadays, cheap airfares and accessible travel is so prevalent, making moving abroad so much easier. Although, with the decision to become an expat or a digital nomad comes the question: how am I able to move abroad and/or is it actually possible?
Kat Smith is the founder of A Way Abroad, the ultimate resource for women dreaming of a life abroad, and having moved abroad 8 years ago, she is a self-proclaimed 'serial expat' who loves nothing more than moving to a new country, culture, and language. She currently lives on the beach in Da Nang, Vietnam, with her husband and pup. According to their website, A Way Abroad is "a community of hard-working travel addicted girls from around the world. We come from a plethora of backgrounds and a variety of interests but share a big passion for exploration and immersion into different cultures."
In this episode, we've talked about our very first long-term trips, how we knew that travelling was something constant in our lives, travelling as a married couple, the process of visa applications, and so much more! If you're someone who's been wanting to move abroad but don't know where to start, then start by listening to this episode!

The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking feat. Steffen Thomsen
Nowadays, hitchhiking has both a positive and a negative connotation attached to it. In the age of cheap and accessible travel, who in their right minds would want to go wandering off to hitchhike?
However, there is a certain kind of thrill and excitement that this mode of transportation has alongside it. No matter how many people say that they're against it, there are still travellers out there who are keen on doing this—Steffen Thomsen and myself included.
In this episode, join Steffen and me as we dive into the stories of our hitchhiking journey all around the world. I actually met Steffen Thomsen during a brief trip back to the Philippines in early 2019, and we've managed to become great friends since then. We mostly share our passion for travelling, learning about different cultures, and hitchhiking since this is something that we've done constantly on our trips abroad.

To keep up with my travels, you may follow me on social media via @dmtanjutco, and you may check out my website, Following Paraluman (https://danicatanjutco.com/).
