1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Hello :) Earlier this week, I had a chat with my friend V, because she'd recently gone on a trip abroad for the first time this millennium, and she wanted to talk about how it felt on her YouTube channel. I said, well that might make a good podcast episode, you know, the whole 'this is what it's like to travel abroad properly for the first time as an adult', might be useful for other budding world travellers, so we recorded it for both. Topics discussed in this episode are: * Housekeeping: Running, Hiking, Well-Dressing * Why did V finally take a trip abroad * Anxiety around border security * Being a sighted guide for a blind travel blogger * How V felt on her first plane this millennium * Alcohol and no food makes V an ill girl ... * ... so she forgot how to read English! * Cultural differences and how Hamburg feels very safe * Hamburg Airport was a breeze * Could she do this again? * The moment V really felt she was actually there * Business travel doesn't feel like leisure travel * Packing angst * What's next for V? A PDF transcript of this podcast is available, though at the moment it's quite raw. As always, if you have anything to say about the topics, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know.&amp;nbsp;I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over. There are no contributions in this pod. However V's YouTube channel is here, and I also ought to link to Blind Girl Adventures (Sassy Wyatt's blog), as she gets mentioned a lot in the episode. Until next time, bye for now. :) Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure https://barefoot-backpacker.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/41198295/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/201660460
