Sailing around the world with children - Patrick Shulte
Episode 43
vendredi 8 juillet 2022 • Duration 46:02
I love speaking with people who've made travel a central part of their life. Whether that’s regular trips to various corners of the world, or in the case of today’s guest, spending the last 20 years in near constant motion.
Patrick Shulte, who has been blogging about his travel experiences on his long running travel blog Bumfuzzle.com, joins me just before setting off for his next adventure. Patrick isn't planning your regular international trip, however. Patrick and his wife are about to sail around the world for the second time - this time taking their two children along for the ride.
I loved having this conversation, and I think you will too.

Have you read Kathmandu?
You visit a restaurant in a far-away city, only to find you’re on the menu.When young backpackers go missing on the trail through Nepal, no one bats an eyelid. After-all, high in the Himalayan mountains, Kathmandu’s a haven for those who want to “get lost.”
Back in England, Leo’s down on his luck. He’s jobless, crippled by anxiety and obsessed with an ex-girlfriend he hasn’t seen in years. Asked to track down a wealthy politician’s daughter in Kathmandu, Leo thinks his fortunes are on the turn.
Escaped from her family and travelling the world, all Allissa wants is to be left alone. Running a hostel for the victims of people traffickers, she hopes the surrounding mountains will keep the world away.
In a bid to prove himself, Leo sets off on a twisting train through Kathmandu’s labyrinthine streets. But, when the investigation leads to a sinister backstreet restaurant and a storm makes escape impossible, he may have bitten off more than he can chew.
KATHMANDU is the first of Luke Richardson’s international thriller series. If you like fast-paced mysteries, then you’ll love this explosive debut.
A visit to Canada with Ted Cragg
Episode 42
vendredi 24 juin 2022 • Duration 50:36
Podcast host and tour guide Ted Cragg joins me today to talk about his homeland, Canada.
Ted hosts the TRAVEL PODCAST THE WORLD SHOW. He talks with to other travel podcasters about their shows, their inspirations and the behind the scenes process that make their shows complete. Ted had me on his show a few weeks ago, and I enjoyed the conversation so much that I wanted to have him to talk to you.
During this episode, we talk through a whole fictional trip to eastern Canada, taking in the cities, the wilderness, mountains and lakes.
You can tell, during this conversation that I come from a such small country, as I don’t think I really understood quite how large Canada actually is. It really seems like you’d need several trips to do it justice, unless you’re going for multiple weeks or even months.
We talk about some cultural highlights of a trip around the country; how you’d be best to get around the place; what corners you might want to explore depending on what you’re looking for; and why Canada makes such an interesting travel destination.

Travelling solo but not alone with Caroline Sande
Episode 31
vendredi 4 février 2022 • Duration 50:15
Caroline's a blogger, brand creator, event organiser and, like me, a bit of a travel advocate.
Back in 2018, she set herself the target of getting travel on firmly on people’s agendas. Using SkyScanner and her social media accounts, she took the bold step of organising group day trips to various European destinations, for complete strangers.
She would meet her group – often black twenty something women who had wanted to travel but didn’t know how to get started – at the airport, and set off for a 12 hour trip to one destination or another.
During the last two years she’s grown her brand Travel, Eat, Slay into a collection of articles, and launched travel accessory subscription service TravelBoxx.
We talk about how you can start travelling, even if you’re short on time and money, how travel inspires great friendships and the importance of promoting travel to underrepresented communities.

How to travel in 2022
Episode 30
vendredi 21 janvier 2022 • Duration 17:19
It's 2022 and I feel so ready to travel again, what about you?
In this episode I talk about how I plan to make travel a big part of the year ahead, C-word or no C-word. Sure, it'll be different than it used to be, but that doesn't mean we can't do it.
It's time to get out of our isolated little boxes and see the world, who's with me?

You are where you go with Caitlyn Lubas
Episode 28
lundi 22 novembre 2021 • Duration 38:29
Today I’m talking with a lady who’s been around more of the world than I think I can name! She’s visited 70 countries, and every continent on the planet.
I know what you’re thinking – that must be a whole lifetime of travelling, right?
But no, Caitlyn Lubas is in her twenties!
And now she’s turned her wealth of experience into a brilliantly titled book. 'You are where you go' is out now!
Our conversation meanders through some of the destinations she would recommend, why she thinks travel is so transformational, and how you can make long term travel work as part of a balanced and successful lifestyle.

The crazy side of Asia with Ty Hutchinson
Episode 27
mardi 2 novembre 2021 • Duration 01:00:13
Ty Hutchinson is the author of the USA Today Bestselling Abbey Kane FBI Thriller Series. In 2013, Ty realised his job as an author allowed him to live wherever he wanted, so left the US and has been exploring Asia ever since.
This conversation started life as a live broadcast for the readers of my novels. Every Wednesday at 5pm UK time, I talk with an author about their writing, inspirations, and taste in booze. I call these conversations, pretty creatively, Books & Beer! You’ll hear us discuss comments from viewers live too.
We discuss why Asia appeals so widely to us in the “west”, why it makes an inspiring backdrop for thriller novels, and some things you probably shouldn't try while there...

Family Travel with @Itzafamilything
Episode 26
mercredi 6 octobre 2021 • Duration 44:25
Mea and Corritta got bitten by the travel bug on their honeymoon, and refused to let their want to become parents slow them down.
Hanging out in Mexico for the last year due to travel restrictions (I can think of worse places to be!) they're now planning a trip to Asia.
I found this conversation so inspiring, because as I’ve shared before, I got married this summer, and my wife has two pretty grown up children. Whilst I still want to do a fair bit of solo travel – I’ve always done it that way and love it – this interview has made me think that maybe I should embrace experience of travelling with family.
Mea and Corritta also make it clear that when it comes to travel, there are no excuses. If you want to go and do that trip, then there's a way to make it happen.
