The Thoughtful Travel Podcast

Welcome to Episode 1 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast! This episode has some great stories about both successes and failures when trying to get something to eat or drink in a country where English is not the first language (and one where it is!). Everybody who’s travelled has struggled with this situation many times, and I got to chat with several travellers who’ve had both fun and frustrations. In this episode, I talk with Linda and Craig Martin about their tricky experience trying to order red wine in Slovakia; Stephen Henson shares a friend’s tale about trying to ask a simple question at a Taco Bell store in China, along with some of his own mishaps (even in other English-speaking countries!); and finally, Kristy Morton and I lament the difficulties she had ordering in a French patisserie as well as the lack of language learning that seems to take place in our home country of Australia.

This is the preview episode of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast with Amanda Kendle. Each episode will feature chats with travel writers, photographers, travel bloggers and other travel lovers about topics centred around why we love travelling and what we learn from it. This episode introduces both me and my new podcast, and includes a story of my own about that time I ended up in the Zagreb bus station in the middle of the night … and why it was a turning point. The Thoughtful Travel Podcast launches on 25 March 2016 so make sure you subscribe to catch all the new episodes. You can tweet about it with #thoughtfultravelpod - and tweet me @amandakendle - or comment at the Not A Ballerina Facebook page. I so look forward to talking travel with you all!
