    # 5 - Gringo with Luana Dias
    Apr 18 2016
    In Rob's final podcast from Brazil he chats with Luana, his new found friend who shares her love of travelling. She explains why she would prefer to earn less working in hostels across the world, than keep her well paid job as a lawyer. They challenge each other on personal improvements they both want to make before they meet again. There's also some confusion over where one of her four mothers' lives and Rob's regret over never having tried one of Luana's cakes (not a euphemism).
