Hello :)

This episode is the first example of something new I'm going to develop - storytelling vignettes. Three or four little pieces, connected only by the vaguest of theme, telling little stories about my travel past that are too short for a full episode. Over time I hope they'll develop and become much more 'storylike' rather than what feel like 5-10 minute podcast extracts.

The three vignettes this time are: * My first international backpacking adventure (1994) * My first backpacker hostel experience (2012 or maybe not) * My first flight (1986)

A PDF transcript of this podcast is available.

As always, if you have anything to say about the topics, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I have a newsletter with extra content, and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution.

I also 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.

I wish to thank my penpal Jelena for the introduction and for her contribution in vignette one. In addition. during the episode, I promote the Deck Of Many Aces actual-play D&D podcast.

Until next time, bye for now. :)
