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 20 - Ganda ng Sydney and beyond. Road trip with a side of adobo yarn
Hop in, mga bes! In this episode, Anna and Razel are trading their usual backyard chika for a road trip adventure across New South Wales (and a bit of ACT!).
We're putting on our tour guide hats and taking you to the must-see sights, from the iconic sparkling Sydney Harbour and the sunny vibes of Bondi and Manly beaches, all the way to the majestic Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains. We’ll share our unfiltered Filipino takes on these Aussie landmarks, the best scenic routes, and of course, the most sulit spots to stop for a quick bite!
We're also venturing out to sip and swirl in the lush vineyards of the Hunter Valley, soak up the country charm of the Southern Highlands, and take a detour to the nation's capital, Canberra.
And because you can't go home without a pasalubong (souvenir!), we've got the inside scoop on where to grab the most unique and truly Australian gifts to bring back home. Whether you're a recent migrant planning your first family day trip, or a visitor just trying to figure out what to do, this is your guide to experiencing the beauty of Sydney and NSW, all with a comforting Adobo Yarn flavour.
Join the conversation! What's your favourite Aussie road trip memory? What's the one souvenir you regret buying (or not buying!)? Let us know!
