Adobo Yarn
The podcast is about navigating the migrant life as Filipinos in Australia, discussing culture, food, experiences and adventures. "Adobo" represents the rich and layered nature of the human experience. Just like adobo can be adapted with different ingredients and methods, our lives are a blend of diverse influences made rich through the stories and culture that we bring and the new traditions that we create.
"Yarn" symbolises the sharing of stories and experiences. We are weaving a narrative together, connecting with each other through the threads of our personal histories and perspectives.”

Ep 14 - The Balikbayan Journey: Old Memories, New Realities
What's it like to be a balikbayan? Join Anna and Razel as they chat about the balikbayan experience, exploring what it truly means to be a Filipino migrant returning home. This episode travels from their childhood memories of eagerly awaiting those treasure-filled balikbayan boxes from relatives abroad, to their present-day realities of navigating that same journey themselves. Razel shares stories from her recent trip, including the often-comedic dance through Manila's airport security, and the surprising customs conundrum that allows delicious bukayo into Australia, but sadly, not everyone's beloved longganisa. Tune in for relatable tales of cultural connection, unexpected challenges, and the enduring pull of the motherland.
