"Tourist or Traveller": a chat with Amanda Kendle
Episode 115
Wednesday, 23 April, 2025
Hello :) A month or so ago, Amanda Kendle had a natter with me, so she could make an episode of her Thoughtful Travel Podcast. Now that's gone live, I'm using the same interview to make my own version. We chatted for about 100 minutes in total - both our episodes are edited highlights! The discussion we had was a general one around travel, framed by a Buzzfeed quiz she found online. Because we're both Gen-X and still surf the web like it's 2007. But we used the questions to delve (a great word, sadly much maligned) deeper into the subjects raised. Topics discussed in this episode are: * Feeling low - ultramarathon blues or just the world being rotten? * "Why do you travel?" * "How do you think about budgeting for your trip?" * “What type of accommodation do you normally go for?” * “How long do you usually go away for?” * “What do you normally eat when you travel?” * “How do you usually pack for a trip?” * “How do you normally spend your time travelling” * “How do you usually feel after a trip?” * So are we tourists or travellers? A PDF transcript of this podcast is not yet available, because admin. As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I have a newsletter with extra content, and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution. 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. Amanda's edit of this chat can be found here. Until next time, bye for now. :)
