Episode 7 - "Do you shed bad energy when you shave your head, what's couchsurfing, and when do romances scream visa scrounger" - An Extraordinary Conversation with The AfroTraveller (Part 1)
Extraordinary Conversations with askChenai
In Part 1 of this extraordinary conversation, Chenai and Vimbai sit down with The AfroTraveller - cabin crew, digital creator, storyteller, and Zimbabwean mischief-maker to trace the roots of her journey.
This is not a travel blog episode. It’s about identity, heritage, and the joy (and chaos) of moving through the world:
Why shaving her head was about more than style - it was energy, renewal, and power
Becoming The AfroTraveller almost by accident
How couchsurfing in Tanzania changed the way she saw people and places
The strange tale of cannibalism that somehow makes sense when Vimbai tells it
What holiday romances can reveal about passports and privilege, and the bittersweet reality of travel romances that rarely last past immigration
Funny, sharp, and deeply rooted in culture, this is the story behind the persona — the mischief before the miles.
