Travelling Solo: What To Expect From A Trip Taken Alone

What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

Chapters

As Juan prepares for his VeeCon trip to the US, we analyse the pros and cons of travelling on your own.

In Episode #298 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: the new t-shirts that we're giving out to supporters of the podcast, why I'm being a fence sitter on this topic, the decision making processes one needs to think about, my first meal of Chorrillana in Chile, places we would absolutely not go whilst travelling solo and the details of Juan's upcoming very first solo travel plus my learnings from 14 months alone across Latin America.

A big thanks to Brando (from the SLIEK podcast), Anthony (from S.O.N.G podcast) and Dave Jones (from Podcasting 2.0)!

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
