OH THE PEOPLE YOU MEET with Michaela Guzy in New South Wales, Australia
G'day! I'm Michaela Guzy, founder of the content house, OhThePeopleYouMeet focusing on PEOPLE, PLACES + PURPOSES. We create + produce this exclusive series, "OH THE PEOPLE YOU MEET with Michaela Guzy", which shifts the traditional show model from host to curator, in order to empower our local hosts to share their own stories + promote inclusivity.
We curate REAL PEOPLE who you can actually meet when traversing the globe -- including local chefs + winemakers to artists, djs, changemakers and even the legendary Dr. Jane Goodall. My focus is how to go sustainably + who to know when you are there.
Each episode we take digital nomads and armchair travelers alike on a journey of a lifetime to immerse themselves in the characters, culture + cuisine that will forever transform your perspective and give a true sense of place.
In this episode, we will journey to the Australian state of New South Wales with a population of 7.8 million people and 2/3rds of the population living in the vibrant capital city, Sydney, the largest city in the country. I am excited to introduce you to our local hosts who will take us to lesser explored neighborhoods for a street art tour, craft brewery, shopping for Aussie designers and to eat the most Instagrammable cake. Sydney is home to the annual lights, ideas and music festival VIVID attracting talent and travelers from across the globe. On our way out of town and into the Blue Mountains, we will meet local chefs, chocolate and cider makers. Plus we'll make a special pitstop at the botanical gardens and meet an aboriginal artist. We found endemic Australian wildlife in the Wolgan Valley while we rode horseback in a field of kangaroos.

The series is founded on empowering local hosts to share their own stories. Executive Producer + Curator of Local Hosts, Michaela Guzy says, “After all, viewers won’t be meeting us personally on their trips, they will meet the people that we’ve carefully curated to bring the destination to life. I’m confident that we’ve selected a cast of REAL and inspiring local people that are excited to welcome travelers authentically to experience their homeland.”
Guzy adds, "New South Wales, Australia is chocked full of diverse PEOPLE, PLACES + PURPOSES that will forever transform you. In this episode, I am excited to introduce you to lesser explored neighborhoods on a street art tour, and a local shopping tour! Plus, I will introduce you to the brains + heart behind the annual lights, ideas and music festival VIVID attracting talent and travelers from across the globe. On our way out Sydney and into the Blue Mountains, we meet local chefs, chocolate and cider makers. Plus we'll make a special pitstop at the botanical gardens and learn from an aboriginal artist. The highlight of this journey was hands down riding horseback in a field of kangaroos at sunrise - a filmmakers dream come true!"
