Inside and Out – Welcome to Lagos…

Inside and Out Podcast: Episode 1:

Mark and I talk a lot about the current perception of Africa and how it is changing. We talk about the many differences between African countries, and Mark’s experience, being white or a foreigner in Africa. 

We figured we would start recording some of these conversations. Our working title is Inside and Out. Both because we hope to evaluate certain topics inside and out. And also because for most topics, one of us will have an insider perspective and the other will not.

At a minimum, we hope to share stories about our lives in Lagos, Nigeria. At a maximum, help strip away the walls of misunderstanding and ego until we both have a better appreciation of each other’s cultures and experiences.

About Amarachi & Mark…

Well, you already know me! šŸ™‚ I’m Amarachi, a systems engineer and lead content creator for Travel with a Pen. I met Mark on a super budget trip to Benin Republic a few years ago. We later took a trip together to Morocco about 2 years later and as they say, the rest is history.

Mark moved from Benin Republic to Mali and later to Nigeria, where we currently both reside in. We are looking forward to exploring more countries on the African Continent and sharing these experiences with you through our blogs and podcast.

We welcome you to join these conversations. Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Tired of the usual tourist spots? You have to check out Suwon, South Korea, home to the incredible Hwaseong Fortress (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) - and you have to stay the night! šŸŒ™

Getting here is super easy - just hop on the subway from Seoul, and in about an hour, you're stepping back into history. There are also super comfortable buses (which I used during my stay)

Some of my favourite memories here include:

ā›…ļø Walking the Suwon Fortress Wall (the views are pretty wonderful,  especially at sunset)

ā˜•ļø Finding the best cafes in the city

šŸ“š Visiting the Starfield Library 

šŸ‘£ Just walking around the city

Suwon is the perfect blend of historical charm and modern Korean city life, and it's easily one of the best day (or overnight) trips from Seoul.

Which stop would you hit first: the ancient fortress or the famous BBQ? Let me know in the comments! šŸ‘‡
