Hello :) Well, you may be pleased to know I survived my trip to SE Asia. But it was a close-run thing as you'll hear at the start of this episode. Anyway. It's Christmas. I should do a pod about this time of year. And this is one I've cobbled together at the last possible moment. I think I might well whine a bit more than usual in it. But it's fine; this isn't my time of year by definition.

Finding the right balance between travel and life can be hard. Especially as we get older there is more and more pressure to follow the traditional life path, which – let's be honest – doesn't include tons of world travel.  Amanda Kendle joins us to have an honest discussion about how we've made travel fit into our lives, while balancing work, finances, and other commitments. GUEST: Amanda Kendle is a travel podcaster, travel blogger, social media consultant and trainer.

In Episode 3, Sarah interviews Amanda Kendle. Amanda Kendle is a seasoned professional in the social media space and has had the podcast, The Thoughtful Traveller. Amanda started a blog 17 years ago. She was encouraged to start travel blogging, initially for someone else and then her own. Her experience dates to 2010 in the social media space and she now offers support to sole traders, creatives and small businesses teaching them the best ways to promote their work on social media. As well as running workshops and masterminds, she also teaches social media at Murdoch University (where she taught Sarah in 2021).   As an avid traveller, she runs The Thoughtful Travel Podcast, something which she initially entered as a blogger writing for others about travel. “Consistency is the key to success with a podcast – it is one of the most important factors. It can be a lot of work but it is worth the consistency as the connections you build are so deep and long lasting”. “People are listening to you in their ordinary lives”.   Amanda shares some of her best tips when it comes to pitching yourself as a guest on podcasts. She suggests that you: Make sure you are aware of the podcast and its content. Listen to several episodes so you know the format and provide a sensible pitch. Pitch yourself in relation to the podcast content – how are you relevant? What can you offer to the podcasters' listeners? What is your expertise, what is unique and useful? Don't be pitching them multiple times in the same week simply because they have not replied to you. Give them a chance to respond. Check if there are pitching guidelines and make sure you follow them. If there are none, consider dropping them a quick message on socials and ask. Follow them on socials and follow them to create a relationship and connection. Know your work and how this aligns. Consider what you can share and how it can allow people to connect with you.   Here is how you connect with Amanda: www.amandakendle.com – find her podcast here facebook.com/amandakendleconsulting instagram.com/amandakendle linkedin.com/in/amandakendle twitter.com/amandakendle

Welcome back for Season 2 of The Better Travel Podcast! What does “thoughtful travel” look like? What are some concrete things that we can do to ensure that we make the most of our travels while also remaining sensitive to the impact of our presence as visitors? Two guests offer their expert insight: Amanda Kendle, a travel writer and host of the Thoughtful Travel Podcast, and Emily Thomas, an associate professor of philosophy at Durham University and the author of a fascinating book on the philosophy of travel. We also have a new installment in our language lessons series! Ilihia Gionson of the Hawaii Tourism Authority joins the show to teach Paige some beautiful words in the Hawaiian language.

This week I chat to host of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast and owner of Amanda Kendle Consulting, Amanda Kendle. Amanda is a leader in the Australian Travel Podcast scene. I connected with Amanda through the Australian Podcasters Collaborative, and we hit it off instantly over our shared passion for travel, and talking! Amanda has been running her social media and blogging consultancy business in Perth since it began by accident when her son was tiny. She's also a confessed travel addict and has been publishing The Thoughtful Travel Podcast for more than five years and her travel blog Not A Ballerina since 2005. In this episode you'll learn about how podcasts can have a huge impact on your personal brand, create a loyal fan base and also grow your business!

Hello! On this episode I talk a little about aspects of environmentalism, including direct action, clean water, plastic bottles, cliff erosion, and the UK rail network. While writing the script I realised there were a whole myriad of related subjects like palm oil, deforestation, agriculture, motoring, sustainable travel, and lifestyle changes that would better be served being in their own podcast. Think of this pod therefore as being 'Part One' - Part Two will be episode 51, in three episodes time. Topics discussed include: * Why this pod is three weeks late * How to dress for an awards ceremony when you're a cynical hippie * Why is pod isn't about London * Climate Activism and Direct Protest * Clean water around the world is less common than you think * Water in plastic bottles and plastic sachets * It all feels that something's not qu(wh)ite right * Recycling in the UK * Cliff erosion on the Norfolk Coast Path * Short flights are sometimes necessary, and sometimes not * This should be the age of the train ... * ... but not every train is a good train There is one contribution in this episode; several clips from an interview-type chat I had with Amanda Kendle, of the Thoughtful Travel Podcast. A PDF transcript of this episode is available. As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. The pod has a Facebook group you can join, too. I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over. Until next time, bye for now. :)

Why do you podcast? Yes, plenty of selfish reasons are important if only to keep you podcasting. But does it go deeper than that? I asked the community and was blown away by the responses I received. Garret Godfrey says his show, Good Patron, explores “...how we can better support the bands & musicians we love.” Dr. Carrie Gillon says her show, Vocal Fries, exists ”...to highlight the fact that judging language is judging humans in racist, sexist, classist ways, and more.” Susan Ni Chriodain says: “Over 80% of people are disengaged in the workplace. In Life Beyond the Numbers, conversations are about how to have a more fulfilling work-life.” Travel podcaster Amanda Kendle says that her podcast, The Thoughtful Travel Podcast, “...connects to my whole kind of life/career purpose, which is sharing the value of travel as a tool both for personal growth and to make the world a better place.” Martha Lawton of Squanderlust says her show's purpose is: “To help people overcome fear and shame around how they have managed their money, so they can face where they are now and change it for the better.” Neil Hedley of The Snooze Button says his show is “... an effort to save people from the hucksters who would capitalize on ignorance by pushing ridiculous solutions that don't actually help people.” Gary Arndt sums up the purpose behind Everything Everywhere Daily with: “I'm trying to combat ignorance. Too many people just don't know much about the world around them. How it works and how it came to be.” And Andrew Clews says the Motoring Podcast wasn't started for a goal, but that: “As we've gone on, we have found ourselves fighting misinformation/lack of understanding…” Again, there's no requirement to do that. Podcasting just for fun can certainly be quite fun. But if building something bigger with a true community around it, it's probably worth your time to figure out the bigger mission your podcast plugs into. ----- Boostagram Corner Thanks to James Cridland for the Satoshis!

The first stop on our Australia series tour is the largest state of them all, Western Australia! Taking up more than a third of this enormous continent, WA has a lot of space and it needs a lot of time to explore. Luckily we have Perth local Amanda Kendle to help us tackle this mammoth location! Emma has also been to the lovely state of WA three times, so the two had wonderful chats about exploring the gorgeous and less frequented spots around the state. From tree top walks, to sunsets over the beach. From the most Westerly and Southern point, to the tippy top! We cover as much as we can. We'd love to hear your stories too! Make sure to join the conversation in the Lovelly Travels Community on Facebook.

Konnichiwa! Whether you love Japan or are planning your first visit, you need to listen to this episode! We have not one, but two guests, both of whom have lived in Japan. Amanda Kendle, travel writer, social media lecturer and podcaster at The Thoughtful Travel Podcast was an English teacher in Japan, while Jane Lawson, cook book author and travel writer who also lived there, now leads tours to the country. In this fun, tip-filled episode we discover their favourite places to visit, eat and stay and how to navigate the sometimes confusing cultural mores of this fascinating country. 

On this episode of the Travel Around Table, the group discusses how we, as travelers, can be more mindful of the people, culture, cuisine, and general destination we are lucky enough to explore. It all comes back to proper etiquette, and with this conversation we dissected multiple areas where we can be a bit more thoughtful while traveling.

Today we’re going to explore the land down under – Australia. As an extra bonus we will also enjoy a listener’s favorite travel memory. What is it about Australia that captures our imagination? We had hoped to explore parts of Australia until COVID-19 forced a change in all of our plans. So we did the next best thing, we traveled vicariously through the stories of our Australian friend and fellow travel journalist, Amanda Kendle – host of The Thoughtful Travel podcast. Amanda gave us some insights into her West Coast city of Perth, and how Australia has handled COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter protests; especially as they relate to the Aboriginal population. There’s something so nourishing about revisiting a favorite travel memory and we think that we can all use a little boost to our spirits right now. So we thought—since we can’t travel now—certainly not the way we use to—that it would be nice to enjoy some of our favorite travel memories. Enjoy a special travel memory from Visionary Womenpreneuer founder, Donna Price. Do you have a favorite travel memory that you’d like to revisit? If so we’d love to share it on an future World Footprints podcast. Email: ProductionTeam at World Footprints.com for more information. Join us as we explore the land down under on World Footprints with Ian and Tonya Fitzpatrick.

Flight shaming, voluntourism, mega cruise ships, sustainabilty - all current hot topics in the travel world.  In this episode of ExtrvaVirgin podcast, we talk to Amanda Kendle, podcaster at The Thoughtful Travel Podcast about the positive and negative impacts of travel; environmental, cultural and economic. Which destinations are taking the effects of over-tourism seriously and implementing strategies to control its impact? We discuss 'slow' travel', voluntary tourism and whether Airbnb has a positive or negative impact on communities.  In the end, do we need to give up travelling or can we be more mindful travellers? Amanda certainly believes the latter and offers her own views and tips on how travellers can tread less gently on the earth.       

Having lived on three continents and travelled to over forty countries around the world Amanda got the travel bug early on in life. An avid writer it only made sense that a Travel Blog would follow, and her other passion 'talking' allowed for a natural progression to becoming a Podcaster. Now an established travel aficionado Amanda shares her passion and experience on the Global Travel Channel. A great insight to how this mother combines her passion for seeing the world with many useful tips for bloggers, podcasters and travellers. Check out Amandas work at https://www.notaballerina.com/

It’s two years since I launched The Thoughtful Travel Podcast for my fortieth birthday. (Because why not do something crazy like launch a podcast for your fortieth?!) For the two-year anniversary, I decided to turn the tables and instead of getting other people’s stories, I asked my Thoughtful Travellers Facebook group to ask me the questions!They came up with many and varied questions and I had a lot of fun answering them - and I got my friend Kristy who featured in the very first episode of the podcast to interview me. Hope you enjoy it!Links: Thanks to Kristy Morton for interviewing me - https://kristymorton.com My post about my love for green tea - https://www.notaballerina.com/2014/11/really-like-green-tea-lessons-japan-meeting-locals.html My "18 for 2018" list - http://www.amandakendle.com/18-things-2018/ Thoughts on privilege - https://www.notaballerina.com/2012/05/two-egyptians-and-my-privilege-to.html Mina Mahrous, the Egyptian blogger - http://www.somedayillbethere.com/2012/04/no-not-everyone-can-travel-a-bubble-burster/ Join our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers Show notes at https://notaballerina.com/90 

Cody and Nicole are back to help Hayden as he unpacks season five, discusses his favorite overarching travel themes, highlights his favorite moments of the season, and looks forward to the epic upcoming changes of season six. [link] In this unpacking and season five finale of the Travel Stories Podcast, Hayden is joined again by Cody and Nicole to reflect on the past season of episodes. They discuss their highlights from the past few months and what they thought of their guests and the stories they shared this season. They also share flashbacks to their favorite moments. You’ll remember this season featured Kinga Phillips, Rachel Rudwall, Amie and Matt Leichtfuss, Derek Loudermilk, Amanda Kendle, Juliana Dever, Yann Ilunga, Kristin Addie, Taylor Zajonc, Dana Newman, Eric Trules, Mark Wolters, and Rolf Potts. The gang shares their favorite episodes and moments from this season. In between ramblings that get entirely off-track, discussions about their lives, and opinions on travel, the gang actually discuss the themes that they see cropping up in every episode of the season, and how those travel motifs make the season and the journeys richer and more flavorful. They talk about their own lives and goals, the connections Hayden made this season, how the gang makes adventures out of their everyday lives, how Cody composed his scores this season, and which animal Hayden should choose as his familiar. They also discuss how skepticism might play a hand in their understanding of travel stories, those that have inspired us this season, the power of solo travel, whether or not Christmas should be every day, and the concept of “being enough” for travel. Hayden, Cody, and Nicole tear this season apart and examine every bit they can reach while also teasing one another and joking until the main thread of conversation has been completely lost. The team also discusses past guests and fans from previous seasons, travel opportunities for anyone and everyone, and their favorite themes from the season. Their finish of the season focuses on the upcoming season, and our biggest season-to-season changes to date. Coming up next season is a total shift, because Hayden will be traveling around mainland Europe on his motorbike, discussing his upcoming daily travel vlogs, his interviews with strangers he meets along the way, and his own explorations of themes he comes across in his travelers. Listen to the whole episode to hear Hayden explain his goals for season six. We hope that you enjoy the break, and (even more so) that you enjoy our upcoming season six!

Travel changes a person. Adapting to an entirely new culture and people not only alters the traveler while they live in that culture, but also changes them irrevocably when they return home. Getting used to the world around you is an important travel step, and one Amanda Kendle is intimately familiar with. Amanda lived in three foreign countries during her twenties, and is the master of slow travel. During her lifetime, she’s developed a travel mentality that can be summed up in one word: “thoughtful.” She fosters the more cerebral aspect of travel, using her thoughts to rationalize and relate to her experience. Host of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast, Amanda shares her thoughts on reverse culture shock, cultural adaptation, and returning home. Lessons from Japanese Vegetables Amanda once lived in the Kansai region of Japan, and, one day, was given an opportunity to visit this old home again. The only downside, though, was that she was sent with a guide who was to accompany her all week, and she was not the kind of person who liked to travel with others, preferring to do her own thing. As it turned out, her guide was a 68-year-old woman named Mariko who had spent thirty-odd years guiding foreigners around Japan. As such, she had amazing stories to tell, and words of wisdom for everyone. When Mariko and Amanda experienced an earthquake together, and visited the earthquake memorial in Kobe, Amanda learned that Mariko was a survivor. She remembers well what she learned from Mariko and her Rincon vegetables that day: “You have to look through to the future, because that’s the only way to get through life.” Slow Travel: Experiencing a New Culture Abroad There is no one utopia in this world; there are good things and bad things about every place you can travel to. Hayden and Amanda talk about the pockets of the world they enjoy traveling to, and how they prefer to look for the reality of a place, beyond the plastic. Hayden enjoys going over to “the other side” for a day. Amanda discusses adapting your travel style to your life, and Hayden shares a well-executed metaphor comparing travel to experiencing a play on stage with the actors. The two of them explore the main differences between passing through somewhere, and living in the place. Amanda discusses the reactions of people around her. The longer she lives in a place, the better she understands it, and she believes that spending a longer time in one space lets you better understand the nuances and quirks of a culture. Truly, travel wouldn’t be the same without the trial and error of learning new cultural experiences - learning what’s rude, what’s not, what’s the correct way to act. Getting over those cultural speed bumps is the best way to adapt to the realities of different places, and immerse yourself in a new culture. Coming Home: Adapting to Reverse Culture Shock Adapting to and overcoming reverse culture shock is a major part of experiencing slow travel.

It is no secret that I love travelling and that it is a big part of my life. My family and I packed, donated or sold everything we owned in Australia to head off on a year adventure through North America, where we didn’t pay for accommodation. This time last year, home for us was a log cabin, in the middle of the Northwoods of Wisconsin, in a town called Clam Lake, which has a population of 37 people. We learn and grow so much when we travel, and this is what my guest today, Amanda Kendle, and I really dive into – those lessons on the road and how we can implement them into our daily life. In this episode we discuss the beautifulness of short-term perspective, making changes in your life even when things are great, travelling slowly, and choosing the bigger life. Amanda is the host of the Thoughtful Travel Podcast and also has the travel blog, Not A Ballerina, which she has run for over 11 years. I hope you enjoy x www.liveimmediately.com

We "met" Amanda online (how all good relationships begin these days), when she reached out and asked us to be guests on her podcast, The Thoughtful Travel Podcast. Of course we said yes, and bonded instantly with Amanda. She's lucky enough to live in gorgeous Australia (accent envy!) and we chatted across the miles in this episode. She also encouraged our obsession with animals by showing us the #quokkaselfie hashtag on Instagram.
