Travellers Tales
If you love food, eat food, like food, and think about food then this is one for you. Ian the food connoisseur returns!
On this episode, we pull back the Soviet Curtain with the Beard of Belarus. Andy shares what it’s like being a teacher in Minsk, why the Prime Minister gave lockdown the proverbial middle finger, and why the Belarusian capital is now this brummie’s home away from home.
Nicolai was Rich's first proper travel companion. They travelled down the east coast together 8 years ago. In this episode Rich finds out he's been out travelled and outmatched as an explorer and that Nicolai has been robbed a crazy amount of times whilst travelling. He also worked in European Parliament in Brussels. Got trapped and lived in an airport for 2 days because the USA wouldn't accept his temporary passport and met the love of his life in Chile. We go to Istanbul, Netherlands, Brussels, Chile and a whole bunch of other destinations. With the beer flowing, don't skip this one!
Nicky, Jo, and Chloe once a year fly over to Sibiu in Romania to volunteer for a charity called SHARE. The three are registered occupational therapists and help out at the centre every year. We touch on many subjects throughout the podcast and they tell me how lovely the country is.
Share is a UK charity that has been providing funding, projects and support to Romanian people for the past 27 years. It was set up by Steve and Mandy Hughes as a charity in 1991 – then called the Hawksley Christian Romania Trust.
