| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, welcome to high brow. My name is Mina and I'm your host today. And I swear I was going to catch everyone up on my trip to Italy. But then the episode that I pushed out was the interview I did with Aubrey Gordon, which came in very last minute, but super thankful, grateful, blessed that she was able to appear because she's a very busy |
| 0:38.8 | person and she's writing her third book. So I was really excited to have that in the schedule, |
| 0:45.7 | obviously prioritize that. And then I had like a wedding dress expansion podcast, which those usually come out the same week as the week that I |
| 0:57.0 | produced the video, so obviously that had to come out. And yeah, I just haven't had the time |
| 1:00.5 | to talk about my trip to Italy, which was interesting to say the least. I don't know if |
| 1:08.5 | I'm a good solo traveler. I feel like I am definitely someone who needs conversation when I'm out and about. |
| 1:14.6 | I am someone who likes to experience experiences with other people. |
| 1:20.6 | I also like having my picture taken sometimes and I didn't really have my picture taken when I was there |
| 1:26.6 | because I just just I get too |

| 1:47.4 | never supposed to like hold your phone out and because someone with a scooter is just going to just |
| 1:51.3 | going to grab your phone. I don't know if that's just like an overinflated thing that American |
| 1:57.0 | tourists believe because I don't know. I can't imagine that Milan is more dangerous than |
| 2:04.9 | New York City. But yeah, I just like didn't really want to put my phone down anywhere. Also because |
| 2:09.5 | I'm in a different country. I'm in a foreign country. So, and I don't speak Italian. And so I feel |
| 2:15.5 | like if someone did steal my phone, that would be like a really |
| 2:17.9 | big disaster versus if someone stole my phone here, it would be a disaster, but I could just like |
| 2:23.6 | figure it out. Like I know my geography. I have like that internal GPS. Like New York is a grid |
| 2:29.5 | system anyway. So very easy to figure out where you are. And then, you know, like, I know where the Apple |
| 2:35.5 | store locations are. I know how to get home. Things are not that difficult versus if I lost |
