The Backpacker, with Aaron from The Netherlands

Sunday 28 Mar 2021

Aaron is our guest for this episode of Radio Daal. He was born and raised in the Netherlands. He studied computer programming and game development, but left the college halfway and started working in a warehouse. After a few years he moved to Australia to live as a backpacker. It was the beginning of a bigger journey for him.

I consider myself so lucky that I could meet Aaron. He’s so friendly, talking to him is so delightful and he always has some interesting stories to tell. Since he was a already an avid podcast listener, convincing him to participate in one of the episodes was rather easy, and I appreciate his trust in me for being our first non-Farsi speaking guest.
