In the second episode of Escape With Nate, I sit down with Ms. Victoria Rowell, the veteran actress, activist, writer, director and producer to chat about some of her favorite destinations spanning from Jamaica to Turkey! She shares with me how she fell in love with the people, the food and the history of the countries.  Victoria has a unique and curious travel POV always describing her travels through the lens of ancient and African American history and economies; as well as dropping in the traditional laissez-faire vacation stories which fill our dreams. Her travels are also quite personal to her, as she's on an ongoing search for family connections, and prioritizes international foster care philanthropy. Not sure what's more daunting, the number of miles she travels or the number of items she consistently has on her itinerary.

In the first episode of Escape With Nate, I sit down with my friend Nzingha Stewart, the incredible writer, director (Little Fires Everywhere, Grey’s Anatomy) and purveyor of superb destinations. In the episode, Nzingha reveals her favorite travel destination of all time – Morocco! She shares with me how she fell in love with not only the country, but her now husband, Mouhssine; and the three Moroccan weddings that followed. No, that is not a typo – three weddings, all to the same man. Nzingha discusses how writing a location based script during the pandemic has given her a way to travel differently, and how she strongly advocates (when it's safe again) that all women find opportunities to travel -- as if their lives depended on it. Finally, she breaks down her packing rituals, which rival that of even the most experienced travelers in the game.
