    Nabil Tarazi

    In April 2007, after 13 years of running a company in the technology sector in London, Nabil Tarazi packed up his suits and ties along with the rest of his life, bought a backpack, and went east. His journey through Australia and South East Asia became the foundation for what was to be EcoHotels, the company he established in 2009 with a vision to create unique experiences for travellers in natural areas, surrounded by local hospitality, and with a kick of adventure.

    Salua Qidan is a craft heritage researcher, curator and product designer, focused on the traditions of the Levant’s dressmaking and textiles.

    Trained as an architect in Jordan in the mid 1990s, she started her career as cofounder of SYNTAX, a multidisciplinary design company in Amman, Jordan, where she specialized in book and exhibition design for art, culture and heritage projects.

    Through her work with various cultural institutions she found herself drawn to the heritage of crafts in Palestine, Jordan and Syria. A pivotal moment for her was the start of her collaboration in 2012 with Widad Kawar, the leading collector and authority on the heritage of Palestinian and Arab dressmaking, designing Kawar’s seminal book Threads of Identity.

    In 2015 Salua became a founding team member of Tiraz — The Widad Kawar Home for Arab Dress, where she continues to serve as Creative Director. At Tiraz, Salua immersed herself in the knowledge gained from experts and scholarly sources and her numerous encounters with embroiderer women and other craft makers who are keeping the Levant’s fast-eroding traditions and techniques alive.

    In 2020 Salua founded Folkglory, a project inspired by her heritage journey. Through Folkglory Salua designs contemporary products for heritage education and traditional craft enthusiasts. Blending original research, curation, documentation and product development, Folkglory aims at spreading the indigenous knowledge and skills embedded in the Levant’s rich dressmaking traditions to a global audience. Folkglory’s first collection of embroidery kits was launched in 2021.

    Born in Germany to a Palestinian father and German mother, she moved to Amman aged 15, experiencing both a culture shock as a teenager, but also the beginning of a journey of understanding the roots of the Arab Palestinian and Jordanian side of her heritage. She lives and works in Amman.

    استمرارًا على ردود الفعل الإيجابية التي تلقيتها في المواسم السابقة، بدأت بدعوة الضيوف والتسجيل منذ ديسمبر ٢٠٢٢.

    في هذا الموسم قدرت أستخدم كاميرات أفضل مما ساعد على تسهيل عملية التحرير بشكل كبير. كما قدرت من تحديث الميكروفونات وأذرع الميكروفون. مع هيك، استغرق الإنتاج كثير الوقت أنا متحمسة لإستخدام أدوات تحرير تعتمد على الذكاء الاصطناعي للموسم الرابع! يمكن أدعو أكثر من 6 ضيوف، مين بيعرف!

    بكفي احكي عن الاستوديو، أنت هون لمشاهدة / الاستماع إلى القصص الملهمة التي سيشاركنا بها ضيفات و ضيوف هذا الموسم. لدعم

    The third season of The Detour Podcast is finally out!

    Continuing on the positive feedback I received on the previous seasons, I started inviting guests and recording back in December 2022.

    I managed to use better cameras this season which enabled the editing process to go much smoother. Also, I managed to upgrade the mics and mic arms.Still, the production took a lot of time and I am hoping to use AI-powered editing tools for the 4th season next year to be more efficient! Maybe invite more than 6 guests, who knows. Also, i will get someone to help me out to be able to record myself better :-D

    Enough of the geeky studio talk, you are here to watch/listen to the amazing stories this season's guests will share with us.To support this effort, please share the episodes you found personally inspiring with your friends.
