This episode is one that will leave a lasting mark on your heart. An immigration love story, pre internet and with it's own challenges, the migration map has marked this family long before our guest was birthed earth side. Alejandra Villacís shares her stories, alongside that of her parents - who are still madly in love with each other to this very day. Listen as we chat about:

• Planning and plotting marriage through the birth of a child via love letters and a great desire to be together.
• Realising that sometimes being apart is much harder than being together through tough times and finding a little bit of comfort in your patch of home.
• Random job opportunities alongside an encyclopedia in your head.
• Supporting others within a community space, without needed to be in their exact situation.

There is so much more to this episode besides just the stories we hear. I invite you to reflect and think about how much of your own identity, migration perhaps or general outlook on life can be found within this audio experience.

This episode has now been transformed into a chapter of its very own inside the book series Stories with a Sunday Roast. It weaves together the memories that were shared during the podcast conversations with my personal experiences.

Unlike the podcast, the carefully crafted stories and mouth-watering descriptions of roasty meals will transport you to another level as you turn the pages.
