Surviving as a Picky Eater while Travelling with Calvin Chronicles

Have a travel question? Text us and we’ll tackle it on an episode! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2455874/fan_mail/new] This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go I chat with Calvin. His early years were spent in Germany as a military brat before returning to the US in Shreveport, Louisiana. We discuss how he handles being a picky eater while travelling the world, missing flights, and the language he'd most like to learn. Calvin also shares why he left a successful corporate career at 50 years old to travel the world and become a travel content creator...right before the pandemic struck. Last, we chat about the profound gratitude he has for his life experiences and new perspectives he's gained because of his connections and memories from years abroad.

Solo Female Traveller Hospitalized in Thailand with Kaila

Have a travel question? Text us and we’ll tackle it on an episode! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2455874/fan_mail/new] This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go I chat with an extraordinary woman named Kaila. She's a recreational therapist from Toronto, Canada who makes the most of her holidays, exploring locally and internationally. We chat about the impact of growing up in a family that hosted international students, which led to her first solo international trip to Colombia at age 14. We also talk about the not-so-great side of travel, like being hospitalized in Thailand. Kaila's curiosity has led her to learn Finnish, Spanish, and how to travel with points and miles. You're going to smile the whole way through this episode!

Have a travel question? Text us and we’ll tackle it on an episode! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2455874/fan_mail/new] This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go I chat with a man I met on a RyanAir flight almost 7 years ago. Jin is a talented filmmaker from South Korea who moved to LA for film school. We chat about an outrageously expensive gin and tonic in Rome, finding calm in Okinawa, the music that accompanied family road trips, vacationing with friends on the isolated island of Guam, and why NYC is infinitely better than LA.
