ON THIS EPISODE
Nicole Phillip joins Matt from Orlando, Florida and talks about growing up in a Caribbean immigrant home, moving to New York City for college, and encountering racism on a study abroad trip to Italy. Matt and Nicole reflect on the various ways anti-Blackness and white privilege manifest around the world. Nicole then talks about her other travel experiences starting with her European travels outside of Italy during her study abroad program. She then explains why Colombia is one of her favorite countries and shares her experiences in Cartagena, Medellin, and Cali, including attending the Petronio Alvarez Festival. Nicole also talks about her travels through Morocco, Guatemala, and her recent birthday trip to the Arctic Circle in Lapland, Finland. She shares the magical experience of visiting the Arctic Snow Hotel, drinking at the ice bar, sleeping in a glass igloo, going dog-sledding, enjoying a Finnish sauna, and seeing the Northern Lights.
