  • #66 - Bolivia
    Adventures and mishaps await in this intrepid land

    "Couldn't remember the place we visited on the way to Bolivia, in Peru, near Lake Titicaca - it was Puno! And then we did a trip to visit the Uros and Taquile Islands, floating islands, highly recommend:

    https://www.peru-explorer.com/puno/uros_and_taquile_islands.htm

    Hostel Loki in La Paz is a must:

    Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca is like a dream and must be visited, make sure to check the boat schedule!

    Copacabana is where you go to get to Isla del Sol, worth a one night stay:

    Salar de Uyuni is incredible, and a tour is recommended:

  • #65 - A real life Farmer - Trav Carter
    Visiting the sheep farm from episode 24!

    Listen to our first episode with Millie here on the podcast!

    https://open.spotify.com/episode/4J8cp81N7syvSI7elfzw9L?si=ku6AAPZ6QvGe1Vc5gTYirg&dl_branch=1

    As mentioned in the podcast, Millie and Trav's closest town is Serviceton (population 120) and then Kaniva (about 20 minutes away, population 800).

    They are located 2km east of the South Australian border, 20 minutes into South Australia is Bordertown (population 3,000).

    They are in the West Wimmera in Western Victoria. That's the general area if you're into looking at maps and learning more about this region of Australia.

    She arrived to Australia 27 years ago, worked as a tour guide in Australia and NZ for 12 years and lived on a sailing yacht for 5 years and sailed the South Pacific!
    She canโ€™t stop being amazed about the miracle of life and love to keep her home and heart open for travellers.

    Travel to Iran!

    About this episode!

    We pick up with Wilma leaving Iran as the revolution began. She then travelled to Saudi Arabia to earn some travel money and visits Iraq, Syria and Turkey before heading back home to Germany.

    Following the most pleasant divorce in recorded history, Wilma started searching for a new job. Narrowly avoiding London, she set off for a new job in Hong Kong at 23.

    Facing a new set of challenges in the far east, Wilma learned how to parachute with the ghurkas and taught her parents how to eat with chopsticks. Also lots of weekend trips in South East Asia.

    Again, Wilma returned to Germany to learn some more about English before heading off to Jakarta, purchasing Javanese furniture and homewares to export back to England.

    Travelling around Indonesia, Wilma learned to love the country and still goes back whenever she can. Having to leave basically overnight she learned the importance of getting work permits!
