  • Interview - Partners in crime - Talking to my lifelong tour guide friends

    In this episode, I am having a chat with my two beautiful friends Ruth Widl and Bernadette Andrey who were tour guides like me many years ago. They have been my companions on my travel journey and my life journey for many years. Our common passion is traveling and talking about it. I met Ruth because she was briefing me for my first ever trip to Egypt and Bernadette was part of the Kuoni New York City team. Find out how we started off and how we all ended up in Thailand together. We had lots of fun doing this episode.

  • I told a Greek pharmacist that my friend got bitten by a swordfish while riding her moped.

    In this episode, I am talking about how I dealt with wasps, strikes, and windsurf disasters. My season in Skiathos was a lot more challenging than I had expected and singing with a famous star was not initially on the program.

  • How a little girl from the Swiss mountains made her dream come true

    In this episode, I am talking about how I managed to get a job as a tour guide in Greece even though I was not only untrained but also too young and how it turned out to be my most amazing learning experience. When you know what you want, the universe will present you with the opportunities to do what you want. It was a long and very tiring summer but after this, everything else was easy and sometimes when we think that we are in a dark place, we think that we are buried but we are planted and during this summer in Rhodos, the seed to my life long globetrotting was definitely planted.

  • The journey begins - Life is beautiful and in the end we will only regret the things we didn't do.

    Welcome to my Podcast.

    My name is Elisabeth and I would like to invite you to join me and listen to my most memorable journeys.

    But how did all this start? I was definitely not born with a travel gene. I was born in a small village in Switzerland, but I realized very early that I wasn't cut out for village life. I wanted to see the world, and when I started learning languages at school, I knew that this was for me. I wanted more. I started working at a very early age, and my first job was clearing tables in a ski lodge and there were some American guys working with me and I was just so fascinated by the way they talked and started learning a few words and started being able to communicate with them a little bit.

    With this podcast, I want to entertain you and take you with me on past and contemporary journeys, it may prompt memories of a past holiday or activate your wanderlust. Let me remind you that life is beautiful and that in the end, we will only regret the things that we didn't do and not the things we did. Life is too short to stay in the same place all the time. We have nothing to lose and a world to see. So please subscribe to my channel, and if you have a fascinating story to tell, get in touch with me.
