In this episode of Travel Footprints: Minutes of Life Experiences, Pablo Serrano tells us about “Riding in the UK”, a cycling trip that took over 100 days and 6.000 kilometers. It was his first bike tour, and he made it across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland by himself. You can find out more on his YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuCixTdxUGr2GcihjGeS0kpU38cr16lYI. 

Today´s episode of Travel Footprints features Sarina, who spent five and a half months backpacking through South-East Asia. We find out what motivated her to embark on this trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Malaysia, as well as some of her favorite aspects of the whole experience. We hope this inspires some wanderlust.

ESC (European Solidarity Corps) is a program that gives young people the chance to volunteer abroad. It´s a chance to expand your horizons, learn about new cultures, develop various skills, and have an impact on a local community.

In this episode, we interview Filippo about his experience in Croatia, where he spent two months volunteering with children. He gives us an insight into what it´s like to work in a large multicultural team and what motivated him to do an ESC project.

Our volunteer Maryna has talked with this episode's guest Lorena Ferraz Cordeiro Gonçalves about her incredible country - Brazil, her approach to traveling, choosing souvenirs, and what all of us should take on the trip. Lorena has also shared many interesting tips about food in Brazil. Don't miss it out!

We continue our audio journey around the world. And this time Christina Valiullina (@christina_valiullina) will tell about her both perspectives: traveling in her own country - immense Russia and experience of living abroad (including Albania and Vietnam).  Christina will give recommendations for trips, which kinds of souvenirs are always better to bring, what to try in her home country, and share amazing facts about different places from all over the globe. 

In the past 2 years, we all faced the same problem: limitations of movement. Here in Hellenic Youth Participation, we hope the situation will go back on track soon. 

In the meantime, we would like to warm up the expectation of traveling abroad and inside your own country or even city. Exactly, that's why this episode has received the name "Both sides perspective". It has been divided into three parts, as its 3 international guests will share their views on the topic.

In the first part of the episode, our volunteer Maryna has talked with Stepan Bolotnikov, who comes from Estonia. Stepan gave helpful tips about traveling in his country, reflected on his experience abroad (including Russia, the USA, and Cyprus), recommended food to try, and many more things.

You definitely don't want to miss this fun and useful podcast out!
