That time we got deported from Somalia

When most foreigners travel to Somalia, they usually have armed security and bullet proof cars. Lakshmi, along with her friend Khadija, did something few tourists ever do---they traveled overland across the whole country and stayed with a local family in the capital city, Mogadishu. They planned to just stay for a week but ended up enjoying it so much that they stayed for over a month---until they wound up detained and deported.

In this episode, Lakshmi and Khadija will share stories they've never told before from their adventures in Somalia and talk about a side of Mogadishu that is rarely shown in the media.
