In this episode we are meeting Marco from Madrid, Spain. I first met Marco in a virtual forum of international students that lasted for six hours. The group discussed topics from world peace, conflicts, fashion, music and food. I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable group conversations I have ever had. From the moment I started chatting with Marco, I knew he was a kindred spirit sharing his passion for food, cooking and his love for world culture. On a recent trip to Washington DC where I was touring some colleges, I was fortunate to meet Marco and his wonderful family. We shared a few meals and toured some of DC’s most famous museums. In the upcoming interview, you will hear how Marco explains Spain’s accepting culture toward diversity and equality and even shares how Spain has held protests in support of Black Lives Matter and other important topics towards human rights. We wrap up talking about Spain’s culinary delights, the importance of saffron, tapas bars and of course the national dish of paella.
