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 19: Don't Need a Complex Plan - Long-term Travel with Richard Ozanne
'JUST GO! COMMIT! SAY YES!'
The Nostalgic Vagabond has heard advice like this echoed by many travellers. It's very assertive advice though. Perhaps not ideal for people who may respond better to a more persuasive rather than authoritarian demeanor.
'Try it... Why not?'
This sentiment is echoed by Richard Ozanne, a Guernsey native, a brave and independent traveller.
Richard decided to experience travel and so he saved up and embarked on a journey. He wanted to, at least, try it out. Starting in places in the USA somewhat familiar and understood, it was an ideal place to find comfort in the traveller lifestyle but Richard wondered how far he could take it. His thoughts were, the worst that could happen if it wasn't working out, he could always just come back home.
Richard's epic 15-month journey took him around the world, hopping through three continents. And he successfully carried out his plan for the 25th year of his life. Just travel...
This is one example of long-term travel. You can design yours in your own way. Why not?
