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 8: International Travel - An American Student's Perspective
On this episode of 'the Nostalgic Vagabond' podcast, I talk with Catie.
Catie is a very optimistic and adventurous student undertaking a Ba Arts at the University of Nevada. As well as working towards her degree Catie is an entrepreneur and recently started an online business. The self-proclaimed "risk-taker" of the family.
At only 23, and while studying, Catie has managed to save a bit of money and travelled internationally to 12 different countries so far, all over the world. Her passion has been found in travel.
In conversation, Catie and I discuss how young Americans view international travel (6:20) as she reflects on her initial trip to Spain on a study program (10:00). We also talk about those life-altering experiences and witnessing moments that shift original perspectives on the world, one's home, and one's self. Is travel addictive? We talk about that too. (18:30)
Catie is very committed to sticking to her travel budgets and is generous enough to share some tips (22:30) here especially when it comes to things like ticketing, eating, and sleeping (27:50). We talk about the idea of solo travel (35:30) and whether it's your bag (or not) but more importantly how travelling might improve you, (39:40) if you let it.
Catie has a podcast called, 'Let's Travel Baby' (48:50) where she shares her unique experiences and gives away tips on travelling within a tight budget...
Enjoy.
