Welcome to Episode 097 of my “Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure” podcast.
This episode is about Luxury Travel. This isn’t a topic that comes naturally to barefoot backpackers in general, but sometimes even we put on our metaphorical shoes and drink free champagne.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
- Running Training & Rate of Perceived Exertion
- Future potential backpacking trips
- What it means to be a ‘barefoot’ backpacker
- Flying business class on Air Europa from South America
- Short-haul business class travel isn’t really worth it
- Flying business class on Emirates from Sri Lanka is
- We need a middle ground option – like a train
- First Class on UK Trains is nothing special
- Eurostar is nice I suppose
- Business hotels
- Afternoon Tea, but not yet at the Ritz
- {bonus} Helicopter Rides over a volcano – the ultimate luxury experience
You can listen via the feed above, or via Spotify, or on your podcast app of choice. Let me know if it isn’t, by the way, and I’ll see what I can do. In addition, a PDF transcript of this episode is available.
