EP 6 | My solo trip failed: Shit happens and life is a humbling thing...

08/05/22 • 52 min

Today I come back with a fresh episode after the disaster that was my attempt at my first ever solo trip. In the last episode I harped on about the importance of getting out of your comfort zone and hence why I thought trying solo travel would be the most rewarding thing I could do for myself this year. Well. I was wrong. It was a shitshow and about as far from what I expected. Today I recap all that went down and why it ultimately came to and end. One thing I can say I have learnt is that shit happens whether you stress or worry about it it will happen anyways, probably worse than you could have perceived, so don't waste even more time worrying about it!

EP 5 | Don't get too Comfortable Dear

Today's episode was recorded the day before I set off on my first ever solo trip and I wanted to remember and share with you some of the emotions that were running through my head in the lead up. The reason for this trip was linked to one of my core beliefs, that the whole point of life is to put yourself outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself, in order to achieve personal growth. So this is what I am discussing today. I was on a boat trip and talking to a guy from Ireland when he said, "I don't want to get to comfortable, cause when you get comfortable it means you have a boring life" and that definitely resonated with me. So this episode is me advocating getting out of that gosh darn comfort zone (within reason of course).

Enjoy :)

EP 7 | What I learnt from my failed solo trip : How to make tough decisions, Not playing the victim, The pressure of the now, and much much more.

Today, we unpack all the loose ends of my recent failed solo trip. We delve into all the answers and conclusions I've come to from my myriad of studies into what the heck happened. I looked to famous figures, new creators and past experience to answer the burning questions I was left with and I've compiled it all into a handy 1 hr to save you all the time and money that I did not. Today I give you my ideas in retrospect on how to make tough decisions when you don't like either option, why playing the victim is only disadvantaging YOU, the immense and superfluous pressure I think COVID has put on "the now" and many other thoughts.
