In this solo episode, I continue with my travel diary around the US in autumn/fall 2024. Having driven back from Pigeon Forge to Nashville, I checked into my Airbnb – The Best Man Cave ever – before heading on to see the show at the Grand Ole Opry for my birthday!

In this super quick quickie solo episode, I talk about my recent trip to Cambridge, to visit my friend Vicki and to attend two shows – a Little Big Town gig and Buffy Revamped. These shows – along with hanging out in the botanical gardens with plants and trees from all over the world, having lunch in an African restaurant, and listening to nostalgic playlists over dinner – helped transport me to d...

In this episode, I go off on a bit of a tangent on how we really can do anything we want (as long as we keep it legal, and no descending into The Purge, please!) – inspired by a meme and an Instagram reel.

In this episode, I talk about the pre-trip wiggins many of us feel right before going on a big trip, especially if it's for a long time or if you're travelling solo. This is the anxiety or overwhelm you might feel the day before or the morning of your flight, as well as the specific fears you might be experiencing to do with the trip itself. I also give you several things you can do to help conque...

In this episode, I bring you an interview I did on the wonderful Expand and Impact podcast with Violetta Znorkowski.  During our conversation, we talk about all kinds of things, such as how easy it is to keep promises to other people but not necessarily to yourself, what our ancestors would think – especially our female ones – about all the opportunities we have now, and how we can use that as mot...

In this solo ep, I discuss my past workations, writing retr...

In this episode, I talk about my recent trip to Cambridgeshire, where I was house sitting with my friend Caitlin. We looked after three lovely dogs and a lovely cat, and while we were working the whole time, we did manage to get out and do some touristy stuff – as well as meeting up with some friends for food, drink, and punting. In the episode I go into some of the fun things we did in the small...

In this episode, I discuss my recent trip (my third visit!) to the Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour in London with my travel buddy Deanna, who was visiting from Vancouver, Canada. It's such an incredible place, and as we were going around, I kept saying, 'I can't believe how much time, effort, energy, and detail went into making these films. And then I kept thinking: 'I don't even put this muc...
