S3EP4. Tahriib/ Journey to Europe ft. Guleid

Episode Summary

S3EP4. In this episode, I reconnect with Guleid, someone I first met in Hargeisa back in 2015. I never thought we’d being having this conversation all these years later about his harrowing journey from Hargeisa to Italy. He opens up about the path he took to get there — the hopes, the hardships, and the realities of migration. He reflects on what it meant to leave home, the experiences that shaped him along the way, and what life in Europe has taught him so far. This is a story about movement, ambition, and survival — but also about resilience, reflection, and navigating identity in unfamiliar places. Guleid also shares thoughtful advice for others who might be considering similar journeys. I’m deeply grateful that he chose to share his story with ISIRKA, and I hope you find it as meaningful as I did.
