Robin Who joins Matt for an aperitivo.  She starts off sharing her experience growing up in multiple places around Italy before moving to Germany at age 12.  She talks about developing her passion for language learning and foreign cultures that would eventually lead her to a life of travel.  Robin reflects on her experiences in Ireland, India, and gives tips on how to have more immersive experiences in foreign countries where you don’t speak the language.  She then explains the psychological impact that travel and language learning have on our brain, and how it can boost creativity, improve problem-solving, expand our world view, and open up pathways to both empathy and self-discovery.  Next, Robin talks about founding “Our Connected World” to support people learning languages and learning more about our planet and themselves through travel.  Matt and Robin then reflect on the struggles of marginalized groups they have encountered around the world from First Nations in Canada to immigrants in South Africa.  And, finally, Robin reflects on how travel has impacted her and what travel means to her today.  FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com
