Summer heat, political sparks, and buried history—this week on Plus Forty Nine, we follow the flames, both literal and figurative. As wildfires rage in eastern Germany, we explore how unexploded WWII bombs are complicating firefighting efforts. Meanwhile, Poland reinstates border checks, the SPD pushes for a potential AfD ban, and Angela Merkel publicly challenges the Merz government’s asylum policies. Our guest is Theodora, founder of the travel app Velout. Raised in Germany by a Greek family and born in the U.S., she shares what it’s like to grow up between cultures She also let’s us know some of her tips on solo travel and why the road can be a path to personal growth.
