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

The Nostalgic Vagabond catches up with Jason O'Tirnigh, an old housemate from those bitterly cold Toronto days of the 2013/2014 winter season. (Worst winter in over 40 years apparently. Pandemic tops it tough...) Jason is originally from Dublin and after...
episode 14: Boat, Bus, Plane or Train - Global Travel, So Much to Gain

episode 15: The USA and Life-changing Journeys - Ears Open For Some Funny Stories

episode 20: Travel Makes ME! - Someone I Want to be / Ought to BE

episode 22: Be Organised, if You Can - But You May Require an Alternate Plan

episode 23: From Marysville to Toronto - Travel Pushes You to Grow
The Nostalgic Vagabond has always been impressed with very young travellers. Kids, not even twenty who go abroad, solo, to live and work and grow up in an accelerated fashion (but in a healthy way) somewhere, in a foreign country. That really takes guts ...

On this final, full episode of 2020, the Nostalgic Vagabond Zooms-in across the pond to the USA, and to a little place in North Carolina to talk with one of the best talkers around, Tommy Gwynn. Both Tommy and Allan met at significant turning points in t...
