  • Why we feel compelled to travel & the lifecycle of a traveller

    The second episode of The Well-Travelled Podcast is all about what fuels our wanderlust and love of travel: whether it's nature or nurture? Clever marketing or social media? The concept of FOMO or generational trends? I also discuss the lifecycle of a traveller and how our travel styles and preferences evolve through our different life stages, as well as talking through my own motivations for travel.

  • The travel industry, cabin fever and wellbeing amidst the Covid-19 pandemic

    The first episode of The Well-Travelled Podcast is all about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the travel industry and on people who love to travel. It covers my predictions for how the travel and tourism industry across the world will cope with closed borders and grounded planes, and how it might look when we start to travel again, after the lockdown. I also discuss my top tips for dealing with cabin fever if you're missing travel, and for maintaining your general wellbeing during lockdown.
