I started a research platform back in 2017 sharing insights into different lifestyles, issues and cultures around the world but I also wanted to find out more directly from local people about their thoughts and experiences (and also give some of my trips more purpose). So alongside the Instagram page and blog I started 'Life talks': an ongoing series of conversations and interviews with people from all over the world, talking about what it's like to live or grow up in their cites. Below is some quotes from the series so far discussing life in Brazil (Rio and Bahia), Jamaica and Seoul (South Korea).
