Jimena Serfaty joins Matt and they begin talking about meeting at the Extraordinary Travel Fest in Bangkok, and then discuss recommendations for spending time in Argentina.  Jime talks about her family’s immigrant history in getting to Argentina, including her Jewish heritage and her Dad’s Moroccan heritage, and describes her family’s recent trip to Morocco. She then talks about her experience growing up in Argentina during the economic collapse of 2001, her childhood desire to travel the world, and her first backpacking trip through Europe at age 18.  Jime then
takes us on her journey living in New Zealand for a year, seeing the Komodo Dragons in Indonesia, traveling through India, and moving to the UK.  Next, she reflects on spending time in Poland, visiting Auschwitz, and re-connecting with her Polish Jewish heritage.  She also talks about her

Mountains and the Avatar Mountains, and taking the TransSiberian railway
