Join me, Allan Hill (the Nostalgic Vagabond) for weekly one-hour~ish travel talks with unique and interesting travellers / adventurers who Zoom-in from all around the world. In conversation, we share compelling personal stories of trial, triumph and sometimes tribulation from journeys, exploring this world and its cultures, languages and landscapes. None of us claim to be experts, we aren't necessarily pros, we are regular people like you. But we decided to say, “YES!” Decided to step outside our comfort zone and have a go at creating our own journey, going our own way. You also don't have to be an expert or professional, all you need is to say, “Yes!” Commit. And go on your own journey – your own way. You can be a traveller too! Hey - Maybe travel could help you discover, your best you. And you can also follow me, @thenostalgicv

episode 13: Sorted Your Work/Life Balance Yet? Do You Need a Reset?
The Nostalgic Vagabond catches up with Jason O'Tirnigh, an old housemate from those bitterly cold Toronto days of the 2013/2014 winter season. (Worst winter in over 40 years apparently. Pandemic tops it tough...)
Jason is originally from Dublin and after spending some time working in Canada he has found himself in New York City, the USA. He's living out his dream, a welcomed member of this crazy, concrete-jungle metropolis.
Zooming across the pond, Allan and Jason reflect on their past travel experiences. Jason shares a few stories from exotic adventures in India and Russia as well as the joys found in new escapes closer to home. Wilderness regions on various sections of the Appalachian Trail, which stretches the entire Atlantic coast of the US, have become the "go to" destinations for periodic city breaks for Jason in these seemingly never ending quarantine days.
During this global pandemic international travel is uncertain and more difficult for all of us to find our own ways to hit reset, regain our creative brain, or get out of a rut.
Domestic travel is still possible and North America is a wonderful place for this.
Hear Jason's remarks on how travel to all kinds of places, some far away and others not so far away at all, is a great way to find a balance in work-life or with life in general. He's also got some interesting tips on productivity for creative freelancers or anybody working from home, especially out of necessity these days.
