This week’s Prime Time is a treat, with the fabulous Fiona Dalton sharing her 'grown up gap year' and what it was like to travel solo. This is inspiration for all of us.
What a great podcast, Fiona's story really resonated. I retired in July and just spent 3 months travelling around Europe/UK on my own and with family and friends. All I can add is to say that her tips will be so valuable to those yet to do it. So, travel by train, book self catering, stay longer in each place and be flexible. And yes, be careful of flights out of Dubrovnik, I got to the airport at 10am Monday morning and finally flew out Wednesday evening at 8pm. And as Fiona says, be the first to say "Hi I'm Bob or Mary", that way you will make friends as I did in my 3 days in Dubrovnik airport. Safe travels.
Love this podcast and travel adventures . FYI - On the topic of library apps I know access free Sydney Morning Herald 7 days a week through Borrow Box and most Australian magazines through the Libby app- also free 👌🏻
I have just decided to take a gap year! Started 1 nov! I am however married and whilst I have the adventurist spirit my husband does not! I have chosen the next 3 months to focus on healing myself from work stress and anxiety issues! Meditation and yoga, focus on getting my health back together and then after that am looking to travel and visit and stay with friends for about 2 weeks at a time - I ride a Harley so am very keen to just get on the bike and let it take me to wherever! This podcast is so inspiring!! Thank you for sharing 🧘♀️🙏
