S1, Ep1:


Travel and mental health, pulling a sickie from half way across the world, being a national newspaper columnist but not being able to afford the bus, and the healing powers of El Camino de Santiago. Financial services consultant turned travel writer Paul Thomas Bell is this week's guest.



Laura speaks to fellow broadcaster and travel writer, Paul Thomas Bell.  He talks pulling a sickie from the other side of the world, trekking twice across El Camino de Santiago, and how travel has been with him during some of the darker periods in his life.


You can also expect to hear about the irony of having a national newspaper column but being broke, the unexpected people you can expect to work with in a call centre, and Paul's plan to give the lesser known destinations the spotlight they deserve.


During this episode, Laura asks the question: "Do some use travel as a way of 'escaping' their mental health issues - and is that necessarily a bad thing?" Find out what Paul has to say about that and so much more.
