Do You Remember The First Time? No, I'm not talking about sex, though for some people it's something that happens at a similar time. Possibly at the same time, though I'm also not talking about holiday romances. That might be a future pod, but it's a subject I know nothing at all about, so probably not.
Rather, in this episode I talk about first travel experiences, and where the 'travel bug' comes from, because it must all come from somewhere, right?
As well as personal housekeeping (covid jabs, walking round Sheffield, voice recording), topics discussed include:
* Travel as a parental influence, and parents who travelled
* My step-dad in the Merchant Navy
* Maps and encyclopaedias
* My first trip abroad, to Denmark
* Family holidays in Scotland
* The effect of having penpals
* The Grand Tour, Gap Years, and Inter-Railing
* Yugoslavia, 1994
* "This Could Lead To Anywhere"
Contributions in this episode come from:
* Amanda (Not A Ballerina)
* Roo (Roo Loves Travel)
* Kylie (Between England And Iowa)
* Nat (NatPacker Travel)
* Kate-Frankie (This Could Lead To Anywhere)
