Travelling Through Conversation

Travel is like this: you might plan day one, but then just see where it takes you. That’s how I approach the podcast too. Twenty recordings in, we’ve now got a logo. The artist, Ludi, who also features in the France episode, created it. My favourite part is how Morocco and Spain seem like they’re about to smooch. What do you like about it?

The Argentinian man in this episode went out one Sunday and ended up traveling across Europe. He's still at it. How?

I’ve been robbed a few times while travelling, but the second time it happened, I was actually happy. Why? I learned from my mistakes the first time around. June, what do you do when you get mugged?

Rome - a capital hotspot for people like us, and probably your next-door neighbour too. But what do you do when your neighbour's actually from Rome? You record a podcast together. Meet mine - his name’s Richard. And yes, you guessed it, this episode wasn't built in a day.

I once had a girlfriend who left me for India, and since we’ve lost touch, I can’t ask her about South Asia. A few years later, I embark on my own adventure. Today, I’m joined by Aishwarya, who’s frequently Out of Office. We chat about the unpredictability of travel and dive into whether India is a safe place for women to live or visit. Without my ex’s perspective, I’m especially eager to hear from a true native instead!

The closest I’ve ever come to Belgium was nearly booking a flight to Antwerp during a dissertation meltdown. Thankfully, I passed my degree, but I never made the trip to Western Europe. Four years later, I’ve forgotten my thesis title, but I’ll definitely remember the name of today’s guest — even with the 8.4% beer we’re drinking. Meet Julie.

Standing at six foot six, Peter is the kind of towering presence you’d typically encounter at a festival. But today, he's here on the podcast instead. With a contagious laugh and a tale to tell, he’s the first Dutch bloke to bring a tear to my eye. So, settle in and get ready for a memorable episode!

I’m on holiday in Torquay, and as family trips go, this one’s been unique—I’ve ended up doing some Acro-Yoga around the corner from the hotel with a sex coach from Poland. Since this is a travel podcast, is sex like travel?

When I think of Turkish experiences, I can confidently say I’ve had a kebab, a haircut, and maybe even throw in a cheeky turkey sandwich - why not? But for someone from Turkey now living in the U.K., what still connects them to their roots?

This time last year, I rubbed shoulders with Oasis’s frontman in an airport lounge before flying to the U.S. for a three-month adventure. A year later, I’m with a Thai Poet, hunting for a pub on Songkran, the Thai New Year. First round’s on me. As you were.
