About Arijana:

I'm Arijana, a travel journalist.While I was slowly fulfilling my childhood dream of traveling for the last few years while working as an assistant in the production of a travel documentary show and filming of some cool events such as a car rally, balloon rally and promotional video guides, I only started full-time traveling and content creation for myself in the start of 2020. I share my experiences along the way and inspire others to travel more and smarter.

Robin has the pleasure to have 2 guests in this episode! The two sunshine and laughs girls: Lulu & Alison from the 10K Dollar Day podcast. They discuss imaginary luxury traveling, more traveling and...their upcoming mega - project of course!

About Lulu and Alison:

From the moment Alison Burns and Lulu Picart met in a theater rehearsal in 2011, they knew they wanted to work together forever. The next few years granted that wish often, and the pair performed in several regional productions, created their own duo cabaret, toured the country singing with Disney composer David Friedman, and were even roommates during their off-Broadway run in 2014.

While both Alison and Lulu are accomplished actors, directors, and writers, Alison is also an award-winning choreographer, and Lulu works a creative consultant, often in music supervision. All of this performance and production experience have helped make the 10K Dollar Day podcasts and YouTube channel a success.

Outside of this venture, Alison continues to direct and perform, plus run a full-time performance coaching business. Lulu will be seen on Broadway in 2021 in the revival of 1776.

I was born on a snowy day in Michigan (I'm just guessing, but since it was winter, it's a pretty good guess). I loved playing let's pretend and creating things; at my 4th grade birthday party I wrote a play and made all my friends participate in it. (No performance = no cake.) I pursued a degree in photojournalism but detoured  into a music career. Four albums, over 1000 shows, many car miles and a few awards later, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in... acting and writing. (You thought I was going to say music, weren't you?)

While comedy is my main thing, I also do voice-overs, TV and film. Some of my favorite projects include playing a harried employee on Stevie TV; being a delusional girlfriend in a Matthew Hussey video; helping people navigate their Google Pixel 4 in an explained video series; and voicing the character of Yu Yan in Swan Princess 10: A Royal Wedding.

My journalism roots run deep though - I still write, mostly romantic comedy films, comedy TV shows, and sketches. My scripted comedy podcast, Ex Pat, debuted in March 2020 on all major podcast platforms. My comedy sketch, Happy Divorce-aversary, was featured in the 2018 National Hispanic Media Coalition’s industry showcase.

When I’m not creating, you can find me playing in a dodge ball league or geeking out over tabletop and video games.
