| 025 - 4 Things to Consider Before Couple's Travel | 11 Mar 2021 | 00:23:21 | |
In 2019 1,500 U.K. citizens were polled in a survey commissioned by exclusiveprivatevillas.com. It found that one-fifth of couples who attempted to go on a holiday together prior to seven months ended up breaking up. What’s more surprising is that of those people, 8 percent said they broke up before the trip was even over! So, what is the best length of time to be together before travelling as a team? A survey conducted by Visit Anaheim has found that 10 months is the perfect time to consider that romantic getaway. Can’t wait that long? Before you make the jump and book that trip here are 4 things to consider before travelling with your partner. We want to hear about your adventures!

| 023 - Seven Remote Work Visas to Consider in 2021 | 11 Feb 2021 | 00:22:59 | |
2020 was an unexpected struggle but 2021, at least for the time being seems like it’s turning itself around. With major vaccines being approved globally we’re starting to see the world re-open to the idea of visitors from afar. One of the ways countries are trying to increase tourism is through the introduction, or for some the re-introduction, of visas specifically designed for Digital Nomads. You may be thinking “but Kayla, I’m not a digital nomad” and to that I say, “not yet you aren’t”. Today on the podcast I’ve compiled a list of some of the countries with visas for remote workers and what you need to do to get one, but first, welcome to the season 2 premiere of Kayla on the Road:the podcast.

| 014 - Smell, Memory, and Travel | 17 Sep 2020 | 00:20:40 | |
Smell is a powerful thing. So powerful that one whiff of an old cologne can bring you back to the memory of an old flame. In the same way, one sniff of a favourite food can bring you back to an important memory or the first time you tried it, possibly even to the streets of the country you tried it in. Today I’m feeling nostalgic for traveling so while we were out grocery shopping on Andrews lunch hour we decided to pick up the ingredients for Pho. Join me in the kitchen today as I chat about smell, travel, and why your nose can be your best friend in a world without travel. Welcome to episode 14 of Kayla on the Road: the podcast.

| 008 - A Simple Guide to Travel After Covid | 28 Jul 2020 | 00:23:35 | |
Is anyone else feeling like their feet are itchy? I’m sure I’m not the only one who wants to get on a plane and explore a new place for a bit. I’m getting so tired of the same sights and sounds. Earlier this year the entire travel and tourism industry was tipped on it’s head as borders closed and countries shut down. Never in our lives have we ever seen something like this before. Needless to say, getting back on the road will not be as easy as it once was. Let’s take a look at travel in the age of Covid-19. Welcome to Episode 8 of Kayla on the Road: the podcast. Covid-19 and the effects that came with it hit me hard! I was actually out on the road when stuff started to shut down all over Canada and getting home was a constant loop of booking a flight, getting a cancellation notice, and getting on the phone with a representative. Since returning home airlines all over the world have been filing for bankruptcy and airlines right here at home have closed some of their routes permanently to deal with the losses attached to the lack of business during the worldwide Covid-19 shut down. Needless to say travel in 2020 and beyond will look a little different than before. We want to hear about your adventures!

| 007 - When We Put Our Life in Storage and Become Digital Nomads | 21 Jul 2020 | 00:45:55 | |
Hello, and welcome to episode 7 of Kayla on the Road:the podcast. I’m your host, Kayla, and today with me I have wonderful fiancé Andrew. This is Andrew’s second time with me on the podcast, hopefully our audio is a little better for you this time, but Andrew is also our money man when it comes to budgeting and saving for trips. Andrew and I have been working and traveling together since 2017. Sometimes he’s the one working and other times I am so we’ve both had the opportunity to play tourist and business-person while away from home. In fact, it was 2017 when we actually cancelled our apartment lease, packed everything into a storage locker, and decided to live from business trip to business trip hopping from hotels to airbnbs and more.

| 006 - Hostels, Hotels, and Homestays | 14 Jul 2020 | 00:28:52 | |
Hey friends, it’s me, Kayla and welcome to Episode 6 of Kayla on the Road: the podcast. Have you ever wondered what the difference between a hostel and hotel was? Have you ever considered a homestay? More of the AirBnB type? This week I’m sharing some advice and recommendations when it comes to accommodations abroad. Like always, this is my experience. Obviously if I had more money to spend on lodging I would be bunking up in a tree house overlooking the jungle or a villa on a white sandy beach with my own private pool but that is not the case. Where I lay my head at night usually isn’t the most important thing to me but without a plan and solid communication with your accommodations you could end up wandering the streets begging for a room when you do not have the mental capacity to organize your thoughts, let alone a new bed.

| 005 - My Experience Traveling with an Anxiety Disorder | 07 Jul 2020 | 00:29:19 | |
Hey friends, and welcome to Kayla on the Road:the podcast. This is episode 5 and this episode is all about anxiety. I’m not talking about the anxiety that travelers get when they are in a new and different place, in the grand scheme of things we’d all be better off calling it travelers worry or travelers fear. I’m talking about the all consuming feeling of weight and discomfort that comes with the constant worrying associated with an anxiety disorder. For the longest time I was afraid that my anxiety was going to stand in the way of my traveling, after all, I hadn’t experienced an anxiety attack during the first 20 years of my life, and if I had, I hadn’t recognized it as such. Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat, there is no one way to handle anxiety, I simply want to share my story and my experience with you so that if you are feeling similar you can take the steps to properly prepare yourself to travel as someone who suffers from an anxiety disorder. I truly believe that it is possible to get off the couch and onto the road without letting anxiety control your every move.

| 004 - Your Guide to a Rainy Day Abroad | 30 Jun 2020 | 00:24:44 | |
Hey! Welcome back to Kayla on the Road:the podcast, episode 4. A couple weeks ago I wrote an article for my newsletter about travelling during the rainy season. Andrew and I have a history of travelling while the weather isn’t perfect BUT it allows us to spend a little bit less money and travel during the off-season, but after spending all that money to get to your destination, the last thing you want is to be trapped in your hostel or hotel room all day. Today, I’m sharing my favorite rainy day travel activities, courtesy of several very and I mean VERY rainy trips. Grab a beer, and let’s get started! We want to hear about your adventures!
