Episode 8 - "On how becoming cabin crew, why Lagos is a vibe, and the worst food we've eaten while travelling" - An Extraordinary Conversation with The AfroTraveller aka Cookie Tatenda Dube (Part 2)

In Part 2 Chenai and Vimbai move from Cookie’s roots to her rise: the AfroTraveller in full flight, navigating the highs and lows of life at 30,000 feet. From Virgin Atlantic uniforms to Lagos night life, from in-flight meals to holiday romances - Cookie Tatenda Dube has seen the world, and she’s got the stories to prove it.

This is not a glossy cabin-crew advert. It’s the reality behind the glamour:

How Cookie became cabin crew (after swearing she never would)
Living with endometriosis
Her thoughts on on destinations - from Lagos to America to China
The absolute best and worst food she’s eaten on her travels
And ofcourse, how she's tackling the Zombies (... with fire, she's using fire)

Unfiltered, hilarious, and full of wanderlust, this is a behind-the-scenes look at what it really means to live a life built around travel.
