Welcome to Episode 118 of my “Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure” podcast.
Earlier this week, I had a chat with my friend V, because she’d recently gone on a trip abroad for the first time this millennium, and she wanted to talk about how it felt on her YouTube channel. I said, well that might make a good podcast episode, you know, the whole ‘this is what it’s like to travel abroad properly for the first time as an adult’, might be useful for other budding world travellers, so we recorded it for both.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
- Housekeeping: Running, Hiking, Well-Dressing
- Why did V finally take a trip abroad
- Anxiety around border security
- Being a sighted guide for a blind travel blogger
- How V felt on her first plane this millennium
- Alcohol and no food makes V an ill girl …
- … so she forgot how to read English!
- Cultural differences and how Hamburg feels very safe
- Hamburg Airport was a breeze
- Could she do this again?
- The moment V really felt she was actually there
- Business travel doesn’t feel like leisure travel
- Packing angst
- What’s next for V?
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.
As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I now have a newsletter you can subscribe to, containing extra content, and it’s where I’ll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution.
I also now have a Patreon! If you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over to my page and donate to me!
There are no contributions in this pod. However V’s YouTube channel is here, and I also ought to link to Blind Girl Adventures (Sassy Wyatt’s blog).
Until next time, bye for now. š
