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 14: Boat, Bus, Plane or Train - Global Travel, So Much to Gain
The Nostalgic Vagabond is a fan of serendipity.
If open to it, a traveller can accidentally discover something good. And friendship can often be that good thing.
Allan Zooms-in to London to check in with good friend, Jade Nicholson-Lamb. In 2017, Jade and Allan bumped into each other randomly, twice, in one of the most beautiful places in the world - Lake Bled, in Slovenia.
In just a day or two, a strong connection can be created. This often happens on the traveller's trail but once back home, back to the routine of normal life, these friendships can sometimes fall away. Not the case here...
Jade shares a refreshing and honest perspective on solo travelling for a female in her early twenties from her experiences Inter-Railing in Europe. She also talks about her six-month Central American adventure in 2018 where she continued to develop, grow in confidence, learned to really live, and figure out who the woman is that she wants to be.
Jade has an interesting take on what it means to be an ethical and responsible traveller too.
Jade tells of her recent summer vacation in Greece. She explains what it was like to travel during these Covid-19 times. Just note that the observations and experiences were accurate at the time of recording and due to the nature of this global pandemic, any trip in the future may be different.
