Chloe Ennis spoke to me about her life and travel experiences, as well as talking to me about her condition, which has affected her life since she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

Chloe spoke to me about where her love for travel initially started from. We talked about how that initial experience moulded her into the person that she is now. We also spoke about her life, in general, growing up and her struggles. The discussion involved getting liked and respected.

We spoke in-depth about her condition, fibromyalgia. When she got diagnosed with the disease, she talked to me about its impact on her daily life, as there are days she struggles to get out of bed. We spoke about how she had been treating it, as there have been many trials and errors with Western medicine. The biggest game-changer was when she went on an ayurvedic diet, as you will find out what the diet consists of.   

Chloe also spoke to me about travelling with the condition in the future. We talked about how that can impact her life on the road.

I also spoke to Chloe about some of her memorable places, as she has a special place for India and South Africa. She discussed the different cultures and values compared to the Western world.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my talk with Chloe, and I wish her the best of luck as she lives with the condition.

I had the pleasure of sitting down and speaking to entrepreneur and TV personality, Paris Norriss. In our discussion, we talked about his education, work, travel and becoming a host of his own travel show, Guy in Dubai.

Paris discussed with me what it was like growing up and having a few family holidays. This left him wanting to travel more. He went through to university, studying Business studies and focused on finance. He explained why he went down the financial route. When he graduated, Paris told me it was tough to get a job due to the financial crash in 2008.

We discussed Paris leaving the U.K. to move across to Dubai and why he decided to take that leap. He explained that this wasn't a difficult journey as he has travelled and lived in numerous countries globally. He discussed his business ventures in Dubai and the success he had endured.

Paris then spoke to me about his transition into becoming a TV host. He details how he went about this and what it took to develop his concept for his show, Guy in Dubai. The show has seen success and airs worldwide on Amazon Prime, OSN Streaming, Apple TV and Tubi. He also explained how he got airline deals, and the show can be seen on Emirates, British Airways, Etihad Airways, Saudi Airlines, Aer Lingus, Iberia, Level Airways & SpiceJet. You can also watch it at Dubai Airport. We discussed his future plans for more series and talked about whether he plans to film outside of Dubai.

Paris spoke to me about his love for adventure-seeking. He also talked about having a junior athletics career.

It was a delight to talk to Paris, a very courageous individual. I look forward to seeing what he gets up to in the near future.

What is it like to talk to someone who has conquered all 7 continents and not even turned 30 yet? Well, I got the chance to speak to Hope Weaver, someone who had embarked on a boat to Antarctica a day before her 27th birthday to complete this achievement.

Hope is someone I travelled with all over Morocco back in March 2016, as we met on a group tour. Since then, we have remained friends, and I thought it was time she shared her remarkable journey in her life with the world. 

Hope, and I discussed what it was like for her growing up and where that initial love for travel came from. Growing up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where many Amish reside, she spoke to me about being questioned on why she was travelling as not many did from that part of the world. 

We spoke about when I first met her and how she was a fearless solo traveller looking to explore and learn about new cultures.

Hope managed to conquer all 7 continents and to do it under 30. That alone is a feat not many people achieve in a lifetime, let alone under 30. Some of the biggest travellers and bloggers in the world haven't succeeded in doing so. You will find out whether this was a goal of hers and what it was really like to travel to Antarctica. Was it all worth it, and what did she learn from that experience? 

Hope spoke to me about trying out different food on the road and how she always looks forward to that part of her travels.

We also spoke about her engagement and wanting a destination wedding-her thoughts on relationships, and perhaps why many people who travel are still single.

She told me about some of her hobbies and what else she would like to conquer when travelling.

It was a joy speaking to Hope and reminiscing at times. She is a courageous, ambitious and determined individual who seems to be heading to the moon with her mindset.

I look forward to seeing the next chapter in her journey, and it was a delight having her on the show.

I had the honour and pleasure to sit down and speak to photographer, Roberta Marroquin about how she got into photography, travelling, and her secret to sustaining her long career.

Coming from Monterrey, Mexico, we discussed what it was like growing up in Mexico. We discussed her education and why photography was such a passion for her from an early age. Roberta discussed going to university and studying in England and France, of all places, to learn her trade.

Roberta talked to me about graduating and making it into the field by freelancing at the beginning to build up a portfolio and moving across to New York in 2008 to pursue a one-year certificate programme at the International Center of Photography. Ever since then, she has lived in the city and lived her dream.

We also spoke about the key to sustaining a long career as a photographer and where she sees the industry as it is today and its future.

We spoke about some of her travelling assignments as she has travelled to places like Syria, China, Bhutan, Kenya, and Japan. We talked about The Snowman Trek she did in Bhutan and how that was one of the most challenging and most satisfying moments in her travelling and photography career.

Roberta and I discussed what she does outside of her work and travel.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my talk with Roberta, and I look forward to seeing what else she has to offer in the world of photography. Perhaps one day, we can be on an assignment taking photographs together.

Ravi spoke to me about his early life in India before getting the opportunity to move to the United States of America. He talked to me about his education and his early desire to travel.

We spoke about the travel industry and the impact the 2020 pandemic has had on the travel industry. We talked about what airlines, hotels and hostels may do going forward. We also discussed potentially carrying a certificate to travel. Similar to having a Yellow fever certificate to travel to certain parts of the world.

Ravi talked to me about some of his exceptional experiences. As he has been to 186 countries, there are countless ones to choose from, but he did narrow it down to a couple of memorable ones.

I asked Ravi whether he had plans to write a book about his journey. He said he had no plans for now. We did talk about the blogging world vs the vlogging world. Whether blogging has seen its shelf life or whether both formats can merge.

We also spoke about some of the friendships Ravi has made on the road. He talked to me about how difficult it is to keep in touch with so many. He also spoke to me about getting 500-plus messages a day due to the high volume of followers he has. He does state that it is impossible to message everyone back. We also discussed how he grew his following, as he has two successful YouTube channels, Ravi Telugu Traveller & Soaring Eagle Trots. His Instagram isn't too shabby, either.

Ravi discussed with me how he goes about funding his travels. This included whether he has had the opportunity of getting sponsored etc. We also discuss how he travels. Ravi isn't a backpacker, as it's not the way he likes to travel, but has respect for those who travel that way.

Ravi talked about his love of travelling back to India, as he states it's a country where you can discover so much every time you travel there. He spoke to me about what he has plans for in the future, as he has only a handful of countries left to see. Ravi did say that he has seen 48 States in the U.S. as well.

He has another passion which is watching movies. He talked about his love for Indian films. 

I thoroughly enjoyed my talk with Ravi. I look forward to the day when he conquers all the countries.

Mike and I sat down and talked about the year, which was 2020. We discussed what took place for Mike on a creative level, his journey in the travel space and what he has installed for 2021.

Mike and I met through a panel we were both involved in at the end of 2020. During that discussion, we spoke about the importance of diverse storytelling within the travel industry. During our one-to-one talk, we went in-depth about where Mike's love for travel came from and what led him to form 'Travel with Meaning.'

Living in Los Angeles, Mike was in the entertainment industry as a talent agent representing many different people in the sector. Mike came to a crossroads and realised that he wanted to get away from the industry, and so he did. In his own words, he went on a walkabout and travelled to Australia to find his meaning in life. Since then, he hasn't looked back. 

We went into detail about the mindset Mike now has, and he believes that travel will have an impact on everyone's lives and careers in some way, shape or form. He had that curiosity, and his passion for travelling, storytelling and community building led him to launch, Travel With Meaning in 2017.

He talks to me about the fact that creating Travel Talk Live was a way to bring like-minded travellers to recreate the feelings that he experienced on the road. From these talks, his idea is to build an authentic community to inspire and encourage others to travel.

In the spring of 2019, he launched the Travel With Meaning Podcast to continue to grow his community.

Mike also spoke to me about what’s installed for 2021. In general, he said most people would be aiming to break out as they would have been exhausted from just being stuck at home.

We also spoke about some of his memorable experiences and what he likes to do outside of his work and travel. I also talked to him about his relationship and the support he has from his partner.

I thoroughly enjoyed my talk with Mike. There is a lot to admire about him. Taking the leap of faith and going on to do something he now loves takes courage, and I applaud him for it.

I look forward to seeing what else he does in the future, and I wish him the best of luck.

I had the honour and privilege to sit down and talk to Ryan Pyle. Ryan and I had a comprehensive chat about his life and career up to the present date.

Ryan spoke to me about how he initially fell in love with travelling. He told me that his mother was a travel agent, and his household always had magazines such as National Geographic, which got him curious about travelling at a young age.

Ryan spoke to me about going off to university and studying International politics at the University of Toronto. His idea of studying this subject was a way of maybe working abroad and also gave him an interest in other countries. He also played basketball at a pretty high level whilst he was at university and did look at becoming a pro.

After getting his degree and not making it as a basketball player, he decided he didn't want to hang around Toronto and see how his life played out and went to China on a 90-day trip. When he returned home, he decided that it was a place for him to go and live.

This is where Ryan got into writing and photography and pursued a journalism career. During his time in the news media, he got his work published in some well-known publications, including the New York Times. He got mentored by Howard W. French, of all people.

When the 2008 financial crash happened, Ryan spoke to me about his transition from news media to television. He talked about it taking some time and had to self-fund a few expeditions, but he eventually started working with the BBC, Discovery Channel and Amazon Prime. 

Ryan has won numerous awards for his work in journalism and television. Most recently, his accolades have been at the Asian Acadamy Awards, which is the equivalent of the Emmy or the Bafta awards for his tv work. We also spoke about the future of television travel documentaries and what Ryan may have to do to continue his television career.

Ryan also spoke to me about his public speaking and how he started that, and why he loves doing it. He talked about doing a mix of paid and free talks.

He is also an author and has books such as, 'India Ride: Two Brothers, Two Motorcycles, One Incredible Adventure: Two Brothers, Two Motorcycles, an Incredible Adventure,' and the book which he recommends people pick up if they are going to read about him, 'Sacred Mountains of China: An Epic Human-Powered Adventure Through a Remote World.'

As Ryan made his name in photography, I had to ask him about the state of photography today. He had an interesting viewpoint.

We also talked about relationships and whether it's possible to have one when you have a lifestyle like Ryan's.

Stephanie and I spoke about her life and career up to the present day. Stephanie worked as a television reporter for nearly a decade covering the news and being a weekend anchor until she decided to leave the role in September 2020.

We spoke about where her initial love for travel came from. Stephanie became fluent in Spanish and then went on to live in the Dominican Republic and Colombia. She also lived in Colombia while participating in a Fulbright Programme.

We spoke about her book 'Blacktrekking-My journey living in Latin America,' a memoir of her journey in Latin America, and why it was important to share her story.

Stephanie spoke to me about her blog, Blacktrekking. Her aim is to share family travelling experiences and motherly tips. She also talked about the importance of wanting to highlight destinations that focus on Black History and Culture. We spoke about some specific trips of hers on this. She is also looking to perhaps write a children's book to educate them about Black History on subjects that aren't covered in school.

Stephanie is married, and her son was born in June.

We discussed some of her hobbies, which include Salsa Dancing and working out in the gym.

It was a pleasure talking to Stephanie. I wish her the best of luck on her blog, and I look forward to seeing what she does next.

TravelUnity discussion
https://youtu.be/84afWmgrlpk

Katherine spoke about how she started off her writing career and how she became successful within a couple of years.

I discussed where her initial love for travel started with Katherine, and I spoke to her about some of her transformative travel experiences.

Katherine used to be based in New York but moved across to Wyoming during the lockdown. She does state it was temporary. Even though she couldn't travel internationally after March 2020, Katherine travelled across the State on road trips.

She spoke to me about how her life was completely different before she started writing about travel. She worked in advertising and knew it wasn't a career path she wanted to continue in. Katherine told me that she started off being a high school reporter, which is where her passion for journalism came from.

Katherine talked to me about how you can start writing about anything and everything, whether about fashion, politics etc. and then eventually fall into a topic you want to write about. It's about building that writing portfolio in her eyes.

Katherine also discussed with me the need to write objectively as well. She explained that many travel blogs are too subjective, and many bloggers need to start thinking about writing objectively as they can influence people worldwide. She clarifies that there isn't much policing in the blogging industry, leading to one-sided views.

Katherine has had her work published in major publications such as Forbes and Tripsavvy. When it comes to travelling, she has been to all four corners of the world. It has been non-stop for the last few years for her. Katherine plans to travel more when the world opens up again.

When she isn't writing or travelling, Katherine loves to socialise with her friends and family. Katherine also loves to read a good book.

I thoroughly enjoyed my talk with Katherine. The time flew by, and I reckon I could have spoken to her all day about her life and career.

I look forward to seeing what else Katherine accomplishes in the near future.

Jules Hatfield and Christine Williams spoke to me about how they started a successful blog, Don't forget to move, a podcast, Not So Bon Voyage together, and evolved into brilliant entrepreneurs.

Jules is from Melbourne, Australia, and Christine is from San Fransisco, California, USA. They both now live in San Fransisco. I asked them where their initial love for travelling started and how that led them to the lives they have now.

We discussed how they first met. They stumbled across one another in Peru, South America. They were both travelling solo and connected with a local organisation to help people after a big earthquake in the country. They both said the relationship escalated very fast, and ever since then, they got married and have now travelled all around the world together.

We discussed what it takes to start a blog and what it takes to keep it thriving. We also talked about how a digital nomad's life could be a norm in the future, with how everyone has worked remotely during 2020.

I spoke to them both about their successful podcast and why they decided to talk about travel mishaps. They felt as though it was an area that would be more of an interest for listeners and something that isn't covered in other podcasts.

They both spoke to me about some of their adventures. We also talked about what the future may hold for them with aspirations and goals.

It was great to have them on the show. They are both down-to-earth individuals with a great sense of humour. I look forward to seeing the next chapters of their lives and careers.
