In Bali with Amber van de Sande
In this episode we have candid chats about Bali, The Netherlands and the LGBTQ+ scene in London, navigating through the intricate dynamics of queer relationships. We share our experience and belief in the importance of appreciating bonds that can emerge after romantic relationships have ended. With a VERY big tangent in between. I need to point out that I say 'gay' as an inclusive term, embracing anyone in the LGBTQ+ community, I realise that's not officially correct and I promise to do better. Please do feel free to get involved in anyway you want to. IG: @queersaroundtheworld If either of us say something out of line please do educate us, that's why we are here, to chat and learn.

Welcome to "Queers around the World," the podcast where we’re gonna be chatting about the diverse experiences of the LGBTQ+ community around the world! This idea came to me a few weeks ago when I arrived in Bali, I was just thinking about my friends, probably becuase I felt lonely and missed them. I realised that many of them are from so many various areas of the world, each with their unique stories and experiences. I’ve had such interesting conversations with them in the past, and a figured it would be fun to start recording them and make a podcast out of it. Why not. I really believe that by sharing stories, experiences, opinions and knowledge, we can all learn, grow, and foster greater understanding and acceptance. Being real the world is fuckin vast, and so are the cultures and experiences within it.On "Queers around the World," we're going to be having super open conversations, talking about anything and everything queer. I want this podcast not just to be about mine and my guests experiences and thoughts. I want to hear from you guys too! Your opinions, your stories, and your questions. I created an instagram page for this pod it’s @queresaroundtheworldpod. Feel free to drop a message there, let us know what specific places or topics you're curious about. I will do my best to explore whatever territories you guys want to explore and shed as much light as I can. Whether you're a member of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, I hope that each episode leaves you with some kind of entertainment, something interesting, inspiring, or perhaps, hopefully even helpful. This podcast is a labor of love, born out of my own fascination with the world and people within it.So, here goes. My attempt to spread some joy and love and celebrate the beauty of diversity.
