For episode 25, I talk with Nubia Younge, entrepreneur, mother and founder of Chronicles Abroad podcast show. She currently lives in Chiang Mai, Thailand where she spends her days fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation by cultivating strong relationships with other expats. Born and raised in Boston, MA, Nubia was hit by the travel bug in 2011 when she set out on a 14 day European vacation.
