Hello :)

This episode is about Luxury Travel. This isn't a topic that comes naturally to barefoot backpackers in general, but sometimes even we put on our metaphorical shoes and drink free champagne.

Topics discussed in this episode are: * Running Training & Rate of Percieved Exertion * Future potential backpacking trips * What it means to be a 'barefoot' backpacker * Flying business class on Air Europa from South America * Short-haul business class travel isn't really worth it * Flying business class on Emirates from Sri Lanka is * We need a middle ground option - like a train * First Class on UK Trains is nothing special * Eurostar is nice I suppose * Business hotels * Afternoon Tea, but not yet at the Ritz * {bonus} Helicopter Rides over a volcano - the ultimate luxury experience

A PDF transcript of this podcast is available.
