Do you feel the call of the outside world? What is "home" for you? Is there a place where you belong ? In this podcast you will hear stories of people who moved. Expats, migrants, refugees, everyone has his own story but by sharing it we discover or cultural differences and how much we have in common.

Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti has spent years entering the private worlds of people he had never met. In Toy Stories, he photographed children around the world surrounded by their favorite toys. In Home Pharma, he portrayed people alongside the medicines they keep at home. And for his CouchSurfing project, he traveled through 58 countries, staying with perfect strangers. https://gabrielegalimberti.com/projects/ (https://gabrielegalimberti.com/projects/)
In this conversation, Gabriele Galimberti takes us behind the photographs and into the encounters that made them possible. How do you convince parents to let you photograph their children? How do you ask someone to expose something as personal as the contents of their medicine cabinet? And what happens when you arrive in a foreign country and put your trust in someone you have never met?
We talk about photography as a way of meeting people and crossing cultural boundaries and about what these intimate encounters reveal about our homes, possessions, vulnerabilities and relationships with strangers.
