Take a Wander with Shebs

Always a 'Plane Ticket Away'


Listen Later

I sat down and spoke to David about some of his travel experiences. David took his first trip with his parents to Ibiza when he was 18 months old (not that he can remember that). But from an early age, he was fascinated about travelling the world one day as he never went away with his family after that trip.

I discussed with David his current situation as he was meant to be in China with his partner teaching English. I spoke to him about where he sees himself once we go back to some normality. I also spoke to David about what Covid-19 has done for the tourism industry and the repercussion it has had on the lives of people in countries around the world that are reliant on tourists visiting.

David did talk to me about his love for Africa. A few years back, he spent a good few months exploring the continent. Because he loved it so much, he drove back down a few months later after he returned home.

We spoke about what his future travel plans are going to look like, with South America being high up on his list as he hasn't quite made it to that part of the world yet. The Middle East is a place he loves, and he would like to go back there as well.

David has a passion for photography. He sells a lot of his work on the Shutterstock and Alamy websites. We went into detail about the style of work he does and post-production as well.

I had a magnificent time talking to David. He was a real no-nonsense type of guy and spoke to me on a very high intellectual and rational level. I look forward to more of David's journey and seeing if he does make it to South America.
