Shitty Breaks with Ben Aitken


Listen Later

This week we talked to travel writer Ben Aitken about his new book, Shitty Breaks: A Celebration of Unsung Cities. Over the course of a year, Ben opted to “travel in the wrong direction", visiting twelve of the least visited cities in the UK and Ireland. With an open mind and a rather unusual bucket list, Ben encountered alpacas in Bradford, tested ski slopes in Sunderland and drank in the only Wetherspoons without a name. In today's episode he demonstrates that, with the right approach, anywhere can make for a great holiday. After all, it's people who make a place.
