About this episode

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!
