   Belize, TBH with Vitra | Travel Beyond Home, 11

   What is Belize really like beyond the beaches, resorts, and the famous Blue Hole? In this episode of Travel Beyond Home with Vitra, I travel beyond the tourist highlights with Ronelli Requena, a Belizean fashion designer, entrepreneur, and founder of Zayvha Sarai Limited. Born and raised in San Ignacio, Ronelli takes us inside everyday life in Belize — a small country shaped by an extraordinary mix of cultures, including Mestizo, Creole, Maya, Garifuna, East Indian and more. We talk about the food and music that bring people together, what it was like growing up in a traditional Mestizo household, and why respect, warmth and community remain such important parts of Belizean life. Ronelli also shares how her cultural heritage influences her work as a fashion designer and why being an entrepreneur in Belize offers the rare opportunity to still be the first to build something new. Along the way, she challenges travelers to experience Belize beyond the familiar: eat the local food, visit the markets, talk to people, take the bus, and come prepared to embrace the country as it is rather than trying to make it feel like home. From fry jacks and Marie Sharp’s to fashion, family and the Belizean approach to a good life, this is a conversation about the people and culture behind the postcard.

   🇺🇿 Uzbekistan Episode – TBH with Vitra: Uzbek Culture, Silk Road History, Family Life, and Life in Uzbekistan Today In this episode of Travel Beyond Home, Vitra sits down with Marjona Melsova from Bukhara, Uzbekistan, for a warm and fascinating conversation about Uzbek culture, Uzbekistan travel, Silk Road history, family traditions, hospitality, weddings, food, and what daily life in Uzbekistan really looks like beyond the headlines. If you’ve ever been curious about life in Uzbekistan, Central Asian culture, Silk Road cities like Bukhara, Samarkand, and Khiva, or what makes Uzbek hospitality so meaningful, this episode offers a personal and eye-opening look into one of the world’s most historically rich and misunderstood countries. Marjona shares how Uzbekistan’s location along the ancient Silk Road helped shape the country’s food, language, architecture, bazaars, tea culture, and openness to different cultures. She explains how Persian, Turkic, Arab, Mongol, Russian, and Islamic influences all exist side by side in Uzbek life today. We also talk about the deep role of family and community in Uzbek culture. Marjona shares how grandparents and extended family often help guide young people, how relatives show up immediately when someone needs help, and how the mahalla neighborhood system creates a strong sense of connection, support, and shared responsibility. Marjona also gives us a vivid look at Uzbek weddings — from morning plov, dancing, huge guest lists, family involvement, and traditional rituals to why a “small” wedding in Uzbekistan may still include hundreds of guests. Of course, we talk about Uzbek food too, including plov, also called osh, shashlik, non bread, tea culture, and why food is such an important part of hospitality, celebration, and everyday connection.

If you’ve ever been curious about life in Italy, Italian traditions, or how Italians approach food, relationships, and everyday living, this episode offers a deeper look into what truly defines the Italian way of life. Giada shares that in Italy, life isn’t about constant hustle or chasing big moments—it’s about enjoying small things, slowing down, and being present. Whether it’s a simple meal, an evening aperitivo, or time spent with loved ones, these everyday rituals are at the heart of Italian culture. We talk about Italian food culture, which goes far beyond what’s on the plate. Meals in Italy are a social experience—structured, intentional, and often shared over multiple courses, from antipasto to pasta, secondi, dessert, and even a final espresso or limoncello. Giada also explains how food plays a central role in building relationships in Italy. Important conversations, celebrations, and even work meetings often happen around the table—because in Italian culture, connection and conversation are just as important as the meal itself.

   TBH with Vitra | Travel Beyond Home to Nigeria, 008

   🇳🇬 Nigeria Episode – TBH with Vitra: Nigerian Culture, Nigerian Food, and Life Beyond Lagos In this episode of Travel Beyond Home, Vitra sits down with Nigerian cultural guide and entrepreneur Remi Osifo for a vibrant and eye-opening conversation about Nigerian culture, Nigerian food, and what daily life really looks like across Africa’s most populous country. If you’ve ever been curious about Nigeria travel, Nigerian traditions, or the incredible diversity of cultures within the country, this episode offers a rich introduction beyond the headlines. Remi explains that Nigeria is far more than what many people imagine. With 36 states, hundreds of languages, and three major ethnic groups — Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa — Nigeria is a country defined by diversity. We talk about Nigerian food culture, one of the most beloved parts of life in Nigeria. From spicy Yoruba dishes to vegetable-rich Eastern meals and sweet Northern treats, food is one of the strongest ways Nigerians connect across tribes and traditions. Remi also shares what respect looks like in Nigerian culture, including traditional greetings where younger people kneel or lie flat in front of elders as a sign of honor — and how younger generations are evolving these customs today. And while many travelers know Lagos, Remi encourages visitors to explore beyond Lagos to places like Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, where she lives — a calmer and more laid-back cultural hub that offers a different perspective on Nigerian life. In this episode, we cover: 🇳🇬 What defines Nigerian culture today🍲 The incredible diversity of Nigerian food across tribes🤝 How respect and greetings shape Nigerian social life🏙 Lagos vs Abuja — two very different sides of Nigeria🧭 Why travelers should explore beyond Lagos👗 Cultural traditions, attire, and identity across Nigeria’s tribes Whether you’re researching Nigeria travel, interested in African culture and traditions, or simply love hearing women share real stories about life in different countries, this episode offers a thoughtful and fascinating introduction to Nigeria. 🎧 Watch or listen on YouTube & Spotify — best experienced with curiosity, conversation, and a love of culture. 💬 Follow the journey to speak with one woman from every country in the world on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok: @TBHwithVitra TBH (Travel Beyond Home) with Vitra is a culture-focused video podcast for women who love travel, global perspectives, and meaningful conversations.

   TBH with Vitra | Travel Beyond Home to New Zealand, 006

   🇳🇿 New Zealand Episode – TBH with Vitra: Māori Culture, Land, and Community In this episode of Travel Beyond Home, Vitra sits down with Māori artist Arohanoa Mathews for a thoughtful conversation about Māori culture and how it shapes daily life, values, and community in New Zealand culture today. Arohanoa shares how Māori culture is deeply connected to land, water, and the natural world — not as resources, but as living guides that influence language, storytelling, and decision-making. She explains how viewing situations through a Māori worldview centers people and community first, and how close attention to nature helps inform what to do next — both individually and collectively. The episode also explores some of the most widely recognized aspects of New Zealand Indigenous culture. Arohanoa explains the true meaning of the Māori haka, beyond the tourism brochure, as well as the cultural, ancestral, and personal significance of tā moko (traditional Māori tattoos). She opens the conversation by speaking te reo Māori, sharing a mihi, a traditional Māori introduction, and explains its importance in honoring lineage, relationships, and identity. In this episode, we cover: 🌿 What Māori culture means today in Aotearoa New Zealand 🌊 The connection between Māori culture, land, and water 🤝 Whakawhanaungatanga — why relationships and community come first 🗣 What a mihi is and why it matters 🖤 The deeper meaning of the Māori haka 🌀 Tā moko meaning and the significance of Māori tattoos 🎨 Art, identity, and carrying Indigenous culture forward Whether you’re searching to learn more about Māori culture, curious about New Zealand culture beyond travel, or interested in Indigenous perspectives rooted in community and respect for land — this episode offers an honest and meaningful window into how culture is lived, not just explained. 🎧 Watch or listen on YouTube & Spotify — best experienced with presence, expression, and story. 💬 Follow the journey to talk to one woman from every country on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok: @TBHwithVitra About TBH with Vitra: TBH (Travel Beyond Home) with Vitra is a global-culture podcast exploring life, identity, and connection around the world — one country at a time.
