In this episode, we explore the fascinating story of Ego from South Africa and Jo from Taiwan. They met unexpectedly, sparking chemistry that led to a profound exploration of their diverse cultural backgrounds. We discuss unique cultural concepts, from how natural disasters like earthquakes shaped Jo’s perspective to how Ego sees nature's power in South Africa.

Their story also includes pivotal moments like a cross-cultural marriage proposal, navigating immigration interviews, and humorous exchanges—like how something as simple as a chocolate bar led to conversations about their differences. Finally, Ego and Jo share how these experiences inspired them to start a travel touring agency in Africa, blending their distinct worldviews to offer a unique travel experience. Join us for an inspiring journey of love, decisions, and cross-cultural understanding!
