Passports and Postcards

It is hard to believe that here we are just released episode 78.  I have had over 50 different guests and we are not done yet. As countries start to list travel restrictions, and people once again travel, we have learned that more and more people are looking for experiences.

We review the reason why people may travel and we encourage you the listener, that if you have a travel story, a destination or resort that you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to me...

In this bonus edition, I talk about the need for a Carnet de Passages en Douane while travelling in a vehicle from country to country.

I have been following many adventure motorcycle riders such as Itchy Boots, Girl on a Bike and On Her Bike just to name a few. I have also previously interviewed Tiffany Coates and Elspeth Beard who encountered the Carnet on their travels.

Jonna Jinton, a young youtube artist and more. Jonna is an accomplished photographer, singer, painter, blogger and video artist. Jonna left the hustle and bustle of Gottenberg and moved to Grundtjärn, very north of Stockholm in 2010 with little money and no job. The first winter was the hardest, however, it was here that she found her passion, her husband and the best life she could have imagined for herself...

A public statement from the host of Passports and Postcards. Putin and his Military through the aid of the Belarus leader have invaded Ukraine and it is now day 7 and the Ukrainian military and civilians have taken arms to protect their country, their homes and their families. 

I do not agree with any country invading another. I don't care if it is USA, Canada, UK , France or any other country. War is not the answer.

We need to stop the war in Ukraine.

Get involved. 

Just to let you know that I do not have a show for you. You may want to give a listen to some shows you may have missed. I have a new show with a guest coming out on March 26, 2022, and am lining up future guests. 

I want to thank each and every one of you for listening.

Imagine riding solo around the world on a BMW R80gs. Some might think the task too daunting but not my special guest today. Tiffany Coates is a renowned adventure rider who has travelled several hundred thousand miles and much of this with her partner "Thelma".

In this show, we talk about the bike and after all those thousands upon thousands of miles how well one gets to know their motorcycle inside and out...

Join me in conversation as I welcome Elspeth Beard, an award-winning architect. Elspeth has many amazing architectural accomplishments under her belt, however, the one that I love the most is the Munstead Water Tower that was built in 1898.  Elspeth purchased through auction in 1989 and fought local council and won on appeal to be able to build her dream home. It did take 7 years to build.

Elspeth learned at a young age that as long as there is a will there is a way...

Join me in conversation with Katara Sky,  Medicine Woman. Imagine working in an industry where you could travel at the drop of a hat. Being a Chartered Accountant, Kat was able to travel on a whim. Kat has travelled to some 65 countries.

Kat and I discuss the importance of having a proper VISA when entering a foreign country and ensuring you have enough blank pages in your passport...

I sit down and speak with Dawn Miller, Speaker, Trainer and Coach. Our conversation takes us on a journey on why and how people travel.  Dawn's deep appreciation for the Caribbeans and  Caribbean music has taken her on many journeys and most if not all have been as a solo traveller...
