Let's get 10 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.520 you to the next level. 11 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.879 Simple questions for one hundred people. Welcome to the experiment. 12 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:16.359 I'm Bill Correll, and this is my investigation. I'm researching 13 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.439 to gather data from one hundred beautiful human beings for 14 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.120 the sole purpose to see what actually happens across the interviews. Now, 15 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.480 the questions are fixed and the interviews will remain consistent 16 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.640 between with a variable being the actual participants themselves and 17 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:35.079 their answers. So it's as if taren, I'm having you 18 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.319 come sit on my porch to share your thoughts so 19 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.959 I can learn about people. I'm looking forward to what 20 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.959 we're going to know or learn after we complete all 21 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.040 of these interviews. But no matter what it is, I'm 22 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.200 having a ball doing it. So now it's time for 23 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.719 us to meet you. What is your full name? 24 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:56.760 My name is Taren Shane Evicta. 25 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:00.760 Tell me that middle name again. 26 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.159 Shana Shana. So Shana was just a name that my 27 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.800 mother heard and absolutely loved, and so she included Taren 28 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.120 Shana Victor. So people call me Taren Shana, but middle 29 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.319 name Taren Victor. But my middle name is Shana. 30 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:21.080 So interesting. I wanted to ask you this, but I 31 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.000 guess it's as good a time as any. You know. 32 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.439 Props on Shana. I love that name too. We used 33 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.680 to babysit a little girl named Shana about forty years ago. 34 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.400 She's now the head of a she's the head of 35 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:39.560 a cosmetic company, so she's that name has done really well. 36 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.319 For her, beautiful nice I love that. 37 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.680 So are you named for a Klingon character? Or is 38 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.479 did they steal the name Taran from somewhere else? 39 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.400 They just love the name. I wish my mom was 40 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.560 here so we could have that discussion. But originally I 41 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.520 remember that there is they they watched the shore and 42 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.719 they wanted Shana. But then then they decided on they 43 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.439 heard Taran and they decided Arran sounded. I think in 44 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.840 a way children name themselves when when you when they 45 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.919 when they come into this world, and so it just 46 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.520 it was just right. Tarn Shane a victim and it 47 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.960 just fits it well. And and that's what they chose, 48 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:22.039 My parents chose for me. 49 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.680 It's a wonderful name. Absolutely. So what's your favorite nickname 50 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:28.759 that most people don't know? 51 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.000 Most people don't know that. My closest friends call me 52 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.919 tests t a double z tes. 53 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.080 Yes, like a Tazanian devil. 54 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.120 There we go, and I do I do have my moments. 55 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.719 Oh, I can see that in you. You look at 56 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.199 me like you've got wide, wide bandwidth in terms of 57 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.199 what you can bring, and it depends on what the 58 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:55.080 calls for. 59 00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:02.240 Right, absolutely absolutely Excuse me. 60 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:03.919 Have you been to Tasmania? 61 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:05.680 No? I haven't. 62 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.400 No, Yeah, I want to go one of these days 63 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.960 because I understand that it's quite beautiful and that there 64 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.280 are you know, a lot of different kinds of animals 65 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.480 and flora and fanna you know. So that's just me. 66 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.959 Tell me a little bit more about taz What when 67 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.519 did you first start getting that. 68 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:32.199 Tes was in so Tes was in primary school. Also 69 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:37.399 in my family, my mum also just says Tes really 70 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.680 just like we have a there's a car here, so 71 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.040 that we go, a very very old model called Toyotatz. 72 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.879 So I think the association with the name Teren automatically 73 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.680 there's the name TZ. These terrens that I also know 74 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.240 that have been called Tz. People with maybe their their 75 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.639 names of tes mim end up being called Tz. So 76 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.399 it just I was called it from primary school in 77 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.360 my family, and I kind of just stuck. Although I 78 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.480 don't hear it a lot, but every now and again 79 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.639 I get called Taz by somebody who knows me. 80 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.360 Well, there you go. So, so, Taz, when did you 81 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.319 first notice what color hair you had? 82 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.040 This was a very This is a very interesting question 83 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.480 because I've tried to remember as spot back as possible, 84 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.040 and I realized what color hair I had when I 85 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.480 looked at my mom and my dad, and my hair 86 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.120 color was the same as these. So my hair is 87 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.720 dark brown. And when I saw that my hair color 88 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.480 when I was young was the same as my moms 89 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.360 and dads, and that's when I knew that my hair 90 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.720 color was dark brown because it was the. 91 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.920 Same roughly how old would you say when you when 92 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:42.959 you became aware. 93 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.000 I think I think at the time when I could 94 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.839 be aware about anything, so pretty much, I would take 95 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.519 five years five years old. 96 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.959 Yeah, yep. Interesting. So what's your favorite thing to do 97 00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.519 to intentionally waste time? 98 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.319 I don't have one answer to this. So the first 99 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.920 first thing would be I will scroll on social media 100 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.199 to waste time. I use it as as a distractive 101 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.519 mechanism if I'm stressed or focusing on something too much, 102 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.600 and I'll use that. Or I will get up and 103 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.800 down and I'll pace like I'll literally pace and procrastinate 104 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.319 like it's the task. So I'm a working progress. 105 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:31.120 Interesting, So I'll ask you a different question along the 106 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.600 same lines. What percentage of your waking hours do you 107 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.759 think you are doing something like that to prepare for 108 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.639 the next thing? Because I get when you say you're 109 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.360 wasting time, you're actually not. What you're doing is you're 110 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:48.120 reving up and supercharging that brain to get ready to 111 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.000 go and get busy. 112 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.480 No, that's true. I love that question because that's a 113 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.600 very good differentiation. I don't actually do anything to waste 114 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.160 time because I'm always focused focused on what I need 115 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.079 to do next. And when I can get it done. 116 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.639 I kind of have a bit of a short temperament 117 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.439 where if I can get something done, then I'm going 118 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.639 to get it done. So I will actually those times 119 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:13.759 that I said where I'll be on social media pacing, 120 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.720 I'm actually using social media to prepare for the next thing, 121 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.040 as you just mentioned. Or my pacing will be when 122 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.759 I'm getting content or things or puzzle pieces in my 123 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.079 head for a brainstorming session or something together. But to 124 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:30.639 waste time, I will spend time, for example the holiday season, 125 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.920 doing absolutely nothing and reading a book. But to intention it, 126 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.720 I don't ever intentionally waste time because I know time 127 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:37.160 is a gift. 128 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.399 Mm hmm. And do you ever just notice that you 129 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.959 are wasting time and go, Okay, that's enough of that. 130 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:48.000 Yeah, And I realized that because of overthinking. 131 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.319 Yeah, yeah, you got to let it cool down every 132 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:57.120 once in a while, right, absolutely. So what's your favorite 133 00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:58.360 movie to watch alone? 134 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.639 My favorite movie to watch alone is Enough by Jennifer Lopez. 135 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:08.279 Yes, And what do you love about that? 136 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.879 The movie? For me, it resonates with me because she 137 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.040 she went through something really horrible, which was abuse, but 138 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.959 she took a stand and she fought back for her 139 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.160 and her child. And I think that every woman, and 140 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.160 it's not just woman, in any individual, there comes to 141 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:26.920 points in your life where you take a stand and 142 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.160 you stand up for yourself and you do what's right 143 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.480 for you. And I just resonate with that, and I 144 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.720 can watch that movie over and over again because it's 145 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.440 so empowering just with the message. 146 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.120 Does it make you? Does it move you? You know, 147 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.639 to happiness and to tears all in the same movie. 148 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:46.000 Not tears anymore. It's more, it doesn't not tears and 149 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.960 happiness because obviously I know the ending. For me, it's 150 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.840 just every time I watch it, it's just a reminder of 151 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:53.919 with the gift of every single day, we have the 152 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.279 power of choice, and that we can, you know, we can, 153 00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.559 with God's grace. We end by just be fighting back. 154 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.639 I mean, let me summarize it like this. It gives 155 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.120 me hope. It's a beautiful story that just gives me 156 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.159 hope and that I need a tigh of hearing, because 157 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.480 hope is what we need in this world where there's 158 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:12.279 so much happening. 159 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.000 That's great, that's really good. That's a really powerful message. 160 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.519 And I hear what you say when you use the 161 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:23.720 word hope. It's not like magical thinking hope. It's more 162 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:28.039 like positive intentionality hope. You know that you know you 163 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:32.799 will be enough, and that that's very powerful for people 164 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.200 to start off with that confidence in life, that when 165 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.799 you set your mind to do something at the beginning, 166 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.240 especially when you have no idea what the outcome is 167 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.240 going to take, but you take it on anyway and 168 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.480 you just kind of like go with it and you 169 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.480 do finish it because you're that kind of person. That's 170 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:49.200 what I get from you. 171 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.279 Yes, absolutely, all right, So. 172 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.320 Tarin, if you were to have an action figure made 173 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.960 of you, what superpower would it have? What colors would 174 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:01.840 its uniform to be? 175 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.320 What super power if I had an action figure made 176 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.759 of me, and what superpowers it would have? It would 177 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:15.960 be the power to move people that move around, movement 178 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:21.159 or stop time? And what else is they? 179 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:21.519 Flying? 180 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.639 I would also, I would say flying, and the colors 181 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.840 would be blue and red because there are two two 182 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.799 beautiful colors that I love, And yeah, I think that 183 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.039 that could be blue and red. 184 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.600 That's really wonderful. So first we'll talk about the colors, 185 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.559 then we'll talk about the powers. So what what sort 186 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:44.840 of shades or hues of blue and red? Would you want? So? 187 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.840 Not very dark red, like going towards that maroon red.

I'm very firm in my faith 243 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.519 as a Christian. I love God. So being baptized on 244 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.320 the nineteenth of March twenty twenty three, that was my 245 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:53.480 greatest accomplishment.

It was 253 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.639 a time of joy and just a very beautiful and 254 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.039 churching moment in my life. 255 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.000 Were you wearing a white robe? 256 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.240 No, we wore black pants and a black shirt with beautiful, 257 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:32.080 beautiful writing. 258 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:37.279 It's about and how many other people were baptism with 259 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:40.399 baptized with you on that day. 260 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:46.240 Sure, I can't remember the number, but probably about thirty 261 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.919 to forty people if I'm not mistaken. Wow. 262 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.559 Yeah, that's an assembly line. 263 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.039 It was the most wonderful thing to experience and have 264 00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:00.840 others and you know, being the line. It was adults 265 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.879 and watched them and then they watch you and celebrate you. 266 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:05.320 It was it was incredible. 267 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:07.399 Did you have butterflies? 268 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:12.639 I had tears. I had butterflies. I felt God's presence. 269 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.679 It was an all a consisting moment. My mother was 270 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:20.080 in the distance with friends, they were watching. Just a 271 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.360 very very special moment in my life. 272 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:28.320 Yeah. Now, do you consider that this is a born 273 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:34.600 again act for you? Or was it a coming of age? 274 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:38.639 Now I'm a Christian without the whole sense of you know, 275 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.919 you know, it's an important thing to do in life, 276 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.519 but choosing God and choosing Jesus Christ is a different 277 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:48.320 thing altogether. 278 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.879 So for me, it was it's it's it was just 279 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:56.960 the next step in my journey of faith. I was 280 00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.720 saved in twenty nineteen when I accepted Jesus Christ savior 281 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.919 and this was just the next stick. This was just 282 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:06.799 the next stick in my faith. 283 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.519 So yep, I love how we language that you know 284 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:16.039 that I accepted him. I've been toying with the phrase 285 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:21.320 of asking him to accept me. Yeah, I think. 286 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.519 I think that's I hear where you're coming from. But 287 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.919 he's always willing to He's always willing to accept you 288 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:29.960 when you're willing to open up to him. That's what 289 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:30.440 I believe. 290 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.960 I completely agree with you, But I do like to 291 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.799 play with language and look at it from different points. 292 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:39.360 Of view, of course, which is what I absolutely admire 293 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.039 about you, because you're very open minded and look things 294 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.679 at different You open so seeing things at different points 295 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.799 of view in that which is very very special, Yes. 296 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.600 And by talking about it openly and as candidly as 297 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:55.480 you're willing to, we start to hear what your perspective was, 298 00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.240 what your experience was. And these are profound things, things 299 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:02.639 that I don't know that anybody ever asked you these 300 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.400 questions before, and if they did, I don't mean to 301 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:10.160 be mundane and redundant. But the point is, I think 302 00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.680 in the minutia, you know, it is how we really 303 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.640 learn not only you know what other people do and think, 304 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:19.160 but how to love them more dearly. 305 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:23.640 You know, Yeah, you touched on that exactly. It's about 306 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.359 communication and learning about the next person and accepting them 307 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:31.079 for who they are and being open to learning. It's 308 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:32.759 how it's going to make the world a better place. 309 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.279 It would help resolve so many things if we just 310 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:36.920 communicate it and open them more. 311 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.960 Absolutely I appreciate that. And now about your other greatest 312 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.559 accomplishment four years in business? Can you tell us what 313 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.720 you do, how you got started, what your challenges have been, 314 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:51.319 maybe some of your victories. 315 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:57.079 Sure. So in COVID, I was working for a marketing 316 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.240 PR company that came to an end, and I thought 317 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.599 to myself what it is? In January, I was like, 318 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.480 what am I going to do? And I had people 319 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.119 contacting me in a freelance space and saying, could you 320 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.079 help me with this? Could you help me with social media? 321 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:11.039 Could you help me with some content? Could you help 322 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:13.680 me with a strategy? And I thought to myself, you 323 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:16.880 know what, there is something here. I think it's time 324 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.599 that I'll start my own company. And so I started 325 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.160 my company, Phoenix Media. My friend said to me, use 326 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.240 Phoenix Media because your journey you are rising from the ashes, 327 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.519 you are rising into the person you were meant to become. 328 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.279 And so I started Phoenix Media, and I help my 329 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.920 clients to build brands that they love and also attrack 330 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:42.440 their ideal clients through social media marketing, social media strategy, 331 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:50.400 and content creation. Challenges. Sure, as an entrepreneur, we faced 332 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.880 so many challenges, but I think with me is the 333 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.799 thing is that I keep going and I keep pushing 334 00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:01.160 and persevering, keep networking, meeting people, getting my business out there, 335 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:05.200 just doing everything that I can and having wonderful conversations 336 00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:09.039 and collaborations with people. Challenges is whatever you are chopping. 337 00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:14.079 You are faces when there are slow months. Obviously, instead 338 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:15.920 of working a nine to five, there are some days 339 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.920 you work a whole twelve hour day because as a solopreneur, 340 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:21.799 you are putting everything into your business if you don't outsource. 341 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.920 But I do believe that those challenges are actually are 342 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.279 actually learning learning curves for me because it's helped me 343 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.839 reach this four year mark that I'm approaching in that's 344 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:34.480 a big deal. 345 00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.559 I appreciate it. Being an entrepreneur. I started my business 346 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.559 a long time ago, But the first five years they 347 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.240 always say is the toughest. The first is the worst. 348 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:46.279 But if you can make it five, you've got a 349 00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:48.119 fifty percent chance to make it to ten. 350 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:51.079 There we go. I've got one need to go. 351 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.920 There you go, So thank you for that.

Second in 380 00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:44.200 San Francisco in the States, and then London and Germany. 381 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.680 The reason being Censorinie. First is the movie Mama PM. 382 00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:53.359 I fell in love with the beautiful white the cliffs, 383 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:57.279 the beautiful white buildings, and the blue the blue roofs, 384 00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:01.039 and the beautiful ocean. I love Nate, I love the ocean. 385 00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.920 I love the seaside. And every time I watch a 386 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:05.880 movie and I see or somebody says they've been to 387 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.440 Athens or they've been to Santorini more, I just fills 388 00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:12.119 with so much love because that's where I definitely wanted 389 00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:15.640 to go. And also in my family, my great great 390 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.279 grandmother on my mother's side was Greek, so in a 391 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.440 way there's a bit of family heritage in that direction 392 00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:20.880 as well. 393 00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:26.880 Santorini. That's great. What are maybe some obscure places that 394 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.039 most people wouldn't think of, but you really want to 395 00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:29.519 go there. 396 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:34.799 I think for me, I want to go to all 397 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:40.960 the picturesque places that the touristy places, so really just 398 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:43.799 those that are mentioned where else, I'd love to go 399 00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:49.880 to Brazil. That's where my first focus is right now. 400 00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:55.680 Where in Brazil, I guess weird Degenia. 401 00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:02.960
