EPISODE SUMMARY:

This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go we meet Chloe, a friend I met early into living in Dublin. We talk about everything from the shocking difference between Canadian and Danish student accommodation, going on 2 exchanges to countries that she didn't pick, moving her young family to Belgium, completing a Master's in Dublin, and identifying more as a Canadian when abroad than at home. 

Travelling through Life: A Podcast on the Go is a fun & quirky show from Travel with TMc that delves into all things travel & adventures from the road, in the air, & in between here and there. Make sure to subscribe for weekly updates!

This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go I chat with Calvin. His early years were spent in Germany as a military brat before returning to the US in Shreveport, Louisiana. We discuss how he handles being a picky eater while travelling the world, missing flights, and the language he'd most like to learn. Calvin also shares why he left a successful corporate career at 50 years old to travel the world and become a travel content creator...right before the pandemic struck. Last, we chat about the profound gratitude he has for his life experiences and new perspectives he's gained because of his connections and memories from years abroad.

This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go we meet Sim and Kartik of The Brown Vanlife. This amazing couple & their 2 energetic dogs drove the Panamerican Highway in their old self-converted Dodge B200 Tradesman campervan. From construction in a Toronto Home Depot parking lot to life on the road, Sim & Kartik’s story is incredibly inspiring. We discuss how they convinced their parents to embrace their lifestyle, how they fund their adventures as remote workers, & the unique ways they’ve documented their journey. We also chat about Sim’s phenomenal hospitality on the road, what home means, & the creepiest place they’ve ever slept.
