The Nostalgic Vagabond

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 3: Archaeology - 3 Interesting Places My Work Has Taken Me


On this episode of 'the Nostalgic Vagabond' podcast, I catch up with Dr Martin Goffriller.

Martin was a guest on the first series of the podcast, during the height of the pandemic last year. His episode titled, 'Thinking Road Trips' was well received by some of you so I decided to have him on again. This time to talk about his current vocation as an Associate Professor of Archaeology, working at a tertiary education institution in China.

In conversation, we discuss three interesting places in the world Martin has explored as part of working in the field of Archaeology:

Beautiful Butrint in Albania (5:30)

Oman, in the middle-east (11:00) and,

the central Asian state of Kazakhstan (20:30)

which links up nicely with stories Martin shared about his epic road trip with Momo across Eurasia in the previous episode. Martin reveals the fate (30:00) of his beloved Toyota 4-Runner too.

Martin offers some commentary on quarantine in China and gives an insight into general life there (31:00) and how life has changed over the last decade or two from first-hand accounts (38:30) from his unique travel experience...

Enjoy.
