The Worst Traveller

This week I chat with my girlfriend, Sabrina, about our completely different travel styles and what it's like to travel with me.

I end up turning into the guest about a third of the way through when Sabrina starts asking me interesting questions, and I spill secrets on some of my pet peeves with different guests on the podcast!!

Sabrina used to work in Disneyland Paris as a performer, and although we weren't allowed to talk about it as such on the episode, you can check her out on Instagram to see her adventures over there!

This week I chat with someone who is taking on one of the most amazing endurance cycling adventures I've ever heard of, and as a result there are plenty of intense, edge of your seat stories in this episode!!

After leaving his job at an airline amidst the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, Andrew Mortensen turned to what he knew best: the open road.

In support of The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention non-profit, he's cycled nearly 9,000 miles, first crossing the United States coast-to-coast before pedaling south to Mexico with his eyes set on South America.

Andrew's three months riding have brought many unexpected hurdles, from ravenous dogs and robbery to severe illness and injury, but also have been immensely rewarding, full of breathtaking scenery, immense kindness, and more than $6,500 raised to date for The Trevor Project.

If you are able to, please do donate to the cause HERE.

Find and Follow Andrew on Instagram to keep up to date with his adventure.

In this episode I reveal the details of my first ever solo trip at just 14 years old, and how that led me on to plan my next one, the following summer, to Japan. 

It involves conversations with a major language barrier over the phone to a Japanese hotel, and planning on busking in a place where it's illegal and I fail to realise my singing inability!

Enjoy!
