About Type 2 Travel
From the publisher's feed
Type 2 Travel is a podcast of solo travel stories from the road, for people who’d rather come home with a good story than a perfect vacation. Type 2 fun is the kind that’s miserable in the moment and hilarious by dinner, and that’s the kind of travel we talk about here.
If your friends keep saying “maybe next year” and you’re starting to wonder whether you should just go without them, you’re in the right place. This show is for the curious, the slightly nervous, and anyone who’s been called “brave” for traveling alone when all they wanted was to see the world. You’ve found your people.
Host Laura Ericson left a 14-year career in higher ed to start a small-group travel company in 2021, and she’s been collecting stories (and minor disasters) ever since. On the show, she talks with solo travelers, local guides, authors, and people who changed their lives through travel. You’ll hear about language mix-ups, food you can’t pronounce, traveling after divorce, travel anxiety, and why the trip that goes sideways is usually the one you remember.
If you want to travel with us, we run small-group trips for solo travelers to places like Morocco, Colombia, Kenya, and Egypt. See upcoming trips and join the email list at type2travel.com.
