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 4: How to be Successful in Couples Travel
On this episode of 'the Nostalgic Vagabond' podcast, I talk with Katie and Gaurav. Together they are the "Third Culture Nomads". Katie and Gaurav have been travelling together ever since they met in Singapore.
In conversation, we talk about what travelling was like for these guys individually, (9:00) before they were a couple and then how travel has defined (12:00) their relationship.
Usually, my guests are solo travellers but in this talk, we focus on factors of maintaining a healthy travelling partnership (14:30) as well as a healthy relationship, in general, I think. Katie and Gaurav talk about the learning opportunities that exist in their relationship (30:30) and the gains which can be made through communicating feelings and perspectives to your partner (39:30). We talk about how we can change and evolve as travellers in the types we are and in the journeys we take, like train travel (48:30) which these nomads have grown to love.
A little bit of tried and tested advice is always good and I probe these guys for some useful tips. (55:30)Towards the end, Katie and Gaurav explain exactly what their name "Third Culture Nomads" (72:30) means...
Enjoy.
