This episode's guest is Lauren Houlihan, the most "sensible" person I have ever met (if you know Lauren, you will realise this is a huge lie!). Lauren and I lived together whilst I was completing my Teacher Training and became particularly close after her spending a day trying to cook a frozen pizza. Listen to Lauren tell this story and her interrail adventure as well as how she has "convinced" her boyfriend to ditch the lazy beach holidays for city-breaks which follow a strict itinerary, including lists, timings and lots of walking (hint - he didn't have much choice in the matter).

This episode's guest is Rae Heath, another one of my close friends from my time at Tyler Hill Summer Camp. Listen to Rae discuss her amazing experience as an Au Pair in Italy and how that opened up the world of solo travelling to her. We also touch on how important it is to write a journal whilst travelling and how using work can provide opportunities to travel.  Absolute Scenes - https://open.spotify.com/show/0mvNV0ogeiKuPIRipTG41i?si=9p2lQ3JPRxGStvO9AYEm8Q  Intro Music  Total Happy Up And Sunny by Sascha Ende  Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/555-total-happy-up-and-sunny  License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
