In this episode, we welcome our first guest onto Podcast 117, Leikyn Bravo. Leikyn is a passionate traveler and musician. She has performed her music in over 50 countries, was listed in New York Weekly's 30 under 30 in 2021, is a Berklee College of Music graduate, and has recently finished her first national tour.

The discussion centers around our experience with the Couchsurfing app, which is what brought us together.

The conversation then takes an interesting turn as we explore the transformative power of travel and how it has influenced Leikyn's music. 

We also delve into Leikyn's musical journey, discussing her biggest influences and the challenges she has faced as a woman in the music industry. We touch on the importance of representation and the need for more female voices in the industry. 

Towards the end of the episode, the mood lightens up with a fun game of "Guess the Lyric" and we reminisce about our past times in Los Angeles. Overall, the epsiode is a delightful mix of travel, music, and personal experiences, providing listeners with a unique perspective on the world.
