Do We Have to Settle Down? Popi Sibiya on Travel, Marriage & Being Choicefully Childfree

What happens when you stop building your life around the milestones you were told you should want  and start asking what you actually want instead? Travel creator and digital anthropologist Popi Sibiya has built a life defined by curiosity, adventure and a willingness to take the road less travelled — literally. Over drinks at the A2B Café, Popi and I talk about the choices that have shaped the life she lives today: travel, freedom, home, relationships, marriage, being child-free, taking risks and deciding what “enough” looks like when you’re not following the traditional blueprint. We get into what she was really searching for when she first started travelling, whether constant movement can ever become another comfort zone, the things she's learned about herself from seeing the world, and what it means to build a life that actually feels like your own. Because maybe there isn’t one right way to do womanhood. Maybe the real adventure is figuring out yours. 🥂 This episode of According to B is powered by Bernini. ✰ TIMESTAMPS✰ 01:00- Coming up 01:18- Intro 02:44- Bokang introduces Popi to A2B 03:41- Game: The starter- for the plot 22:31- The main: The conversation 23:14- Who Popi was before the content 25:12- Why Popi chose to teach english in China 26:20- What prompted Popi to leave China and move back home 29:48- The moment Popi realised being a travel creator could be a job 33:22- How Popi decided to monetize her content 34:50- Popi on comparing her life with other peoples 37:20- Popi’s perspective on romantic relationships, marriage and kids 48:03- Popi on whether she believes the man she wants exists 51:12- Popi on living her dream life 51:55- The realities of being a travel creator 53:26- How sustainable The Popi Show is right now 56:58- Advice for corporate version of Popi 57:55- Popi’s message for the woman who doesn’t know what the next looks like 59:48- Dessert:Popi is gifted her Bernini tote bag 01:01:01-Outro ✰ SOCIAL MEDIA ✰ Bokang ➜ Instagram: @sheisbokang-https://www.instagram.com/sheisbokang  ➜ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sheisbokang    The B Word ➜ Instagram: @thebword_za -https://www.instagram.com/thebword_za  ➜ Tik Tok: @thebwordza https://www.tiktok.com/@thebword_za  Guest Popi ➜ Instagram:@popi_sibiya- -https://www.instagram.com/popi_sibiya ➜TikTok: @popi_sibiya- https://www.tiktok.com/@popi_sibiya  ✰ LISTEN ON ✰  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0XnqZ7b...
