Adam & Alun return to the TRIPOLOGY studio for another edition of Tales of a Trip.
This week, Alun relives his serendipitous couchsurfing experience in Nazca, Peru. The Ancient Gods were looking down on Alun, as they not only granted him a free night's accommodation, but a place on the couch of a leading expert on the awe-inspiring geoglyphs, The Nazca Lines. Alun's "perfect cultural exchange" awarded him the opportunity of flying over the geoglyphs in a light aircraft; he was even asked to record an English version of the presentation given at the Maria Reiche museum, which can still be heard to this day!
Stay tuned to hear our take on the common 'Backpacker Stereotypes'. Travel is for everyone, and many types of people inhabit the travel space, but do we have more in common than we first thought? Have we inadvertently become conformist whilst attempting to become the opposite?
