Send us a textHoi An continues to enchant—and in 2025, it feels overflowing, more layered, and more revealing than ever. That's why I've chosen to revisit one of my most loved conversations on the show—this time with a fresh perspective, and a few heartfelt reflections from my recent trip.You'll hear from the delightful Sharon Sweeney, a long-time visitor to Hoi An who once co-created the popular website and map guide HoiAnNow (now retired). Sharon still returns regularly, drawn—as so many of us are—by the town's old-world charm and enduring spirit.As Hoi An grows in popularity, it's evolving in ways that bring both beauty and complexity. With more international travellers comes more diversity, yes—but also more crowds, rising prices, and the ongoing challenge of preserving tradition in a fast-changing world.In this updated intro, I reflect on my ow personal observations, what's new, what's shifting, and what still stops me in my tracks and gives me great joy. This episode isn't only about ticking 10 boxes ( as per the original show back in 2021 - S2-07)—it's about finding your rhythm in Hoi An, one authentic experience at a time.Stay curious, stay open—and let's rediscover the heart of Hoi An together.  The best way to connect with me is not via text, it is through the website www.whataboutvietnam.com website and email.Thank you for listening.

I am about to return to Burgundy for my third visit there and I can't wait! The region is wonderful to immerse in with wonderful food, scenery and amazing wines!On my last time in Dijon I met the wonderful Emeline Pin whose business Vino Dilectio runs tasting workshops showcasing the various wines of her region. I attended a cheese and wine pairing workshop and I loved every minute of it.Emeline and I chatted about the various things tourists could do in Dijon and Burgundy/Bourgogne, such as visit local villages, explore ancient castles, taste mustards and cheese, wander through vineyards. Dijon and Burgundy has great weather for travelling being not too hot, but be very thoughtful about what time of year to visit not just for the weather but also consider the harvest timing (it varies each year through August-September depending on the ripening of the grapes). During the harvest some activities may be postponed due to the important work that needs to take place.This chat with Emeline provided more than just some expert opinion on wine, Emeline chatted about places to visit throughout France, tips for the best types of restaurants to go to as well as ideas for visiting Burgundy as only a local can give.**Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website

Charlie Walker's adventures have taken him to the most remote and challenging places in the world. During this episode he shares stories from his epic 43,000-mile cycle tour, spanning across Europe, Asia, and Africa. But his adventures are not just taken on a bike - he has also trekked across Papua New Guinea, hiked in the Siberian Arctic, paddled down a tributary of the Congo River and recently cycled (or hike a biked!) through the Gola Rainforest in West Africa.These adventures haven't all been smooth sailing. Indeed, Charlie has faced moments of extreme hardship, including an imprisonment in a Siberian detention centre in 2022 - within weeks of Russia invading Ukraine. Charlie also reflects on the awe-inspiring moments he's been lucky to have due to his adventures - enjoying times of pure solitude and the feelings of being alone in a vast and empty landscape. We also talk about  the changing landscape of travel brought on by technology, and how much things have changed since he first started taking long distance adventures.You can follow Charlie via his instagram account - @cwexplore and his website - www.cwexplore.com where you can also purchase his books which I highly recommend!!  Big thanks to our sponsor Old Man Mountain for continuing to support the podcast.

I am so excited to share this episode with you all! And I have some big news to share with you! But first, I want to thank you for the way you have showed up during my book release. The pre-orders, the shares on social media and all the supportive messages and love have meant more to you than you'll ever know. Now let's keep going and get this book into the hands of as many people as we can. It is already changing lives! If you haven't ordered your book yet, you can get it here.   Now onto the show! My guest today is Jaime Fenwick, the founder of Bringing Inspiration Home, lover of slow and intentional travel, photographer and home schooling mom of 3.  Jaime loves the idea of bringing the inspiration of any kind of travel, and especially slow travel, home to her family and day to day life. One of the ways she does this is with her women's walking retreats in the Cotswolds of England. AND THE BIG NEWS IS: I get to team up with Jaime on this trip and you can come! Each aspect of these retreats are designed by Jaime. She is a gifted planner and detail oriented and has created these retreats to be so fulfilling in every way. First, it is a gift to have all the details planned for you. No decision fatigue! Jaime has all the details taken care of—where we'll sleep each night (quaint and cozy inns!) where we'll eat (local restaurants and pubs!) and the beautiful section of the trail that we'll walk through the Cotswolds. Luggage is ferried from place to place for us and we only carry a day pack and hiking poles. How incredible it will be to unplug, slow down from our frantic pace of life and enjoy in nature and together. For you it might be a time to find space to celebrate, heal, connect with your soul, with God, or with a friend. It might be a time to adventure, have fun, or seek creative inspiration. No matter what, I know it will be good for us, mind, body and spirit. Want to come?? You can get more details about the trip right here!  Where to find Jaime: Find Jaime's website here Find Jaime on Instagram here Find trip details here The Greta Eskridge Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Guest Saoirse Pottie first took to bikepacking as a way of enjoying the experiences of travel without the need for spending huge amounts of money.  Fair to say she has been hooked ever since and has also helped to generate a community around bike travel - especially championing and encouraging women to go on bikepacking adventures.We discuss Saoirse's adventures through Ireland which she used as a way to gain the confidence to take on her biggest adventure - a bikepacking journey through Africa from Cape Town to Rwanda. Since the Africa journey Saoirse has continued to embrace the spirit of travel and community - having recently ridden the Caraterra Austral from Patagonio to Ushuaia as part of a group of 12. I really appreciated her insights into how she first got into this mode of slow travel, why she believes everyone should take on a solo trip, what it was like to cycle through Africa and also the balance and joys which come with taking on journeys solo as well as with others. You can find Saoirse via her instagram - @going.pottie - and more about her bikepacking weekend in Ireland - it's sold out but you can join the waiting list!A link to the episode with Helen Dainty is hereYou can learn more about Saoirse's bamboo Boogaalie Bike here.Big thanks to our sponsor Old Man Mountain for continuing to support the podcast.

Maria Tawk made the decision to study in France a few years ago and moved from Lebanon to university in Aix-en-Provence. From dreaming as a child with her best friend about one day being in Paris together, to now living a beautiful life in Provence, Maria feels like every day she is living out the life she had only seen before in movies.It was lovely to chat to a fellow Francophile, who seems to now be where she has felt she always belonged, a place that feeds her soul. We chatted about the type of travel that many people crave now... the ability to reset and travel slowly, rather than ticking the travel boxes of the main tourist sites. Everyone wants to visit the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre or if travelling regionally, to see the lavender in the south of France for example. But to immerse in slow travel and connect with a place is very special. As I often say: allow the time and space for the magic to happen during your travel adventure. Maria and I chatted about our perspectives of slow travel... go to a place once and you will see it. Go to a place twice and you will feel it. If you get to go three or more times you will start to know the place from within, drink its wine, eat its food, talk to its people, spend the night under its sky... then that is the luckiest of all.Come and escape to France momentarily with us.**Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website

A slow traveler is about savoring experiences, not rushing them. We break down what it means to slow travel, create deep connections, and really enjoy your next trip! The full show notes, with links, resources we mention, and podcast sponsors, can be found HERE.

January 28, 2025 ~ Kelly Wolgamott, Vice President of Pure Michigan discusses the "slow travel" trend.

This episode is the first in Season Six of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast with me (Lou) chatting to Alex Ganipeau from The French Hack. After having many Francophiles get in touch with me about their upcoming intended travel to France, we thought it a good opportunity to chat about our experiences of planning trips to France in recent years but also plans for each of us with our intended trips coming up in 2025.With Alex being French, there is a different experience to me, as I travel as a tourist albeit a tourist with extensive experience traveling in France. For Alex I imagine all her friends and family want to see her! But apparently even for French ex-pats living elsewhere, they want to return to France and explore just as us foreign tourists. So the tips we touched on in this episode:* who is coming on your trip? (just me/ me & girlfriends/ me & my husband/ me & family including kids)* consider the ages and capacity of your attendees. This will impact your choices for the type of accommodation (eg: toddlers who many need a nap) or your mode of travel.*what region is on the wish list? Are there particular things some attendees have on their not-to-be-missed list?*what is the weather preference of the participants? I personally happen to dislike excessively hot weather, so I'll head to the south of France further away from the summer months. Weather preference is important when deciding on the region and time of year to visit.*luggage tips for road-trips and safetyI usually work out 1. what region I am going to be in and simultaneously 2. ascertain what sort of transport will be required for 3. the amount of participants and their capacities. I don't lock in anything until these three things are clearly sorted! Each thing can impact the other.After the transport and region is sorted I divide the planning into 3 separate sections:1. accommodation2. activities3. the boring but essential stuff (including but not limited to - check your passport is valid and has at least 6 months left on it after your return from your trip/ check visa requirements/ insurance/ finance including currency cards or banking/ medical check ups before travel and plan medication requirements)But mainly the most important thing is to plan ahead to allow time for the magic to happen. Without good prior planning the travel experience can be very stressful, but conversely with an itinerary that is too tightly planned with a rushed and full schedule, the possibility for magical moments will be severely diminished. Allow space in the itinerary for spontaneity. Immerse in SLOW TRAVEL!**Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website

This is Part 2 of Rob MacLennan's adventure from the UK to Cape Town. You can listen to Part 1 here.In this episode we pick up where we left off - Rob is about to leave Nigeria and head over the border to Cameroon - by speed boat! Has to be one of the world's craziest border crossings for sure.From there he continues down the western side of Africa. Gets lost navigating a 'short cut' through the jungle in Congo, connects with locals over the football in Angola and has one of the most physically and mentally intense experiences of his life crossing the Namib desert in Namibia.On reaching Cape Town, Rob reflected how this adventure was never about that end destination - but everything that happened in between. The stories of human connection the ones leaving the greatest impression on Rob. We also talk about mindset and post adventure blues with Rob sharing how pushing himself to his limits showed him his inner strength, what he could endure, but also the power of choosing to be positive.You can follow Rob via his instagram account - @robbo_on_the_roadOther guests mentioned in this episode:Wiebke LühmannFind out more about our Seek Travel Ride Lightweight Bikepacking Tour!Join me for a 6 night - 5 day tour through the Pyrenees Foothills.Dates - June 28 - July 04Start and Finish: ToulouseFind Out more and Book Your Spot Here Big thanks to Old Man Mountain for supporting this episode of Seek Travel Ride.

Ever wondered what it would be like to cycle through Africa? Well this is part 1 of a special 2 part episode featuring guest Rob MacLennan who in 2023 cycled from his home in the UK to Cape Town in South Africa. A journey of over 17,000kms and infinitely more experiences. In Part 1 Rob will share with us how he prepared for such a trip as a complete beginner, what he packed, how he worked out his route and some of the key experiences along the way. He crossed through Europe via France and Spain, and it was really from Morocco that the real adventure began. From there he cycled down through the Sahara desert - discovering the joy of melon milk! He also learnt how to push his limits, realising he was capable of more than he thought. He enjoyed exploring through West Africa, observing local life, battling terrible roads in Guinea while also enjoying some of the best coffee there.  Then in Nigeria things took a serious turn when at Christmas Rob found himself held at gunpoint by militia who mistook him for a government spy. His recollections from this harrowing event were eye opening - but as Rob said, were in no way the narrative that his journey need be remembered by. You can follow Rob via his instagram account - @Robbo_On_The_Road and be sure to tune in next week for part 2 to hear the rest of this incredible story.

Are you yearning for an experience that could transform not just your family's outlook on the world, but also improve your own as a parent? Are you curious about how different cultures parent their children? In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, the notion of slow travel can create the perfect environment for personal growth and connection. Join Elodie Ferchaud, co-founder of Boundless Life, and I as we navigate the world of travel for families.Elodie's journey started out as an expat family, where she observed the differences in parenting across cultures - Swedish, French, Japanese and American. Because of this cross-cultural experience, she was able to blend the best of all 4 parenting styles into her own version of mothering.Boundless Life stands out with its thoughtfully crafted communities in places like Greece, Portugal, and Bali, aiming to provide holistic family living solutions. These include schooling based on experiential learning and tight-knit support networks for parents and children alike. Elodie elaborates on how the Boundless Life concept allows families to experience life beyond traditional schooling and routines, fostering development through multi-age learning and personalised educational paths.One of the most evocative aspects of Elodie's journey is discovering the power of community—a notion unfamiliar to her until becoming part of the Boundless Life ecosystem. This support system proved invaluable, from day-to-day parenting challenges to moments of vulnerability and growth. Boundless Life's approach to education is innovative, emphasizing growth mindset and holistic child development through modular, multi-age learning environments. Kids not only partake in culturally immersive activities but also benefit from stable, supportive learning surroundings that mitigate the transitions typically associated with frequent relocations.

What's it like to Cycle from the U.K to Australia? Well in this episode I feature guest Malachi Frances, who is currently midway through his cycle tour doing exactly that. I caught up with Malachi while he was enjoying a rest day in New Delhi, to hear all about how his journey so far has gone.Malachi is a great testament to the fact you don't need years of experience in front of you to be able to take on a trip like this. Prior to setting off he had ridden his bike in Wales and quickly realised the possibilities available to him from bike travel. He then took to planning this longer journey and then set off. While he had planned for the majority of the tour to be undertaken solo, Malachi quickly learnt that you make fast friendships travelling in this style, and has enjoyed the company of many other bike travellers along the way. As a photographer he is also enjoying the visual journey which comes with this style of travel - and is hoping to put together a photo book by the end of his trip.

Celebrate our 100th episode with guest Madeline Hoffmann, as she shares her incredible cycle tour from Germany to Australia.I first featured Madeline for episode no. 1 of the podcast, in January 2023, when she had just arrived in Türkiye, having cycled there from Germany to meet her father for the very first time. In this episode I pick up where we left off, and hear Madeline's experiences after leaving her father's home, and cycling all the way back to Sydney, Australia. All up Madeline's journey took her through 23 countries over 15 months and we reflect on the adventures, challenges, and transformative experiences she encountered all along the way.  This journey wasn't all smooth sailing, she faced numerous challenges and setbacks.  When her visa for Iran was denied she instead chose to cycle home via the Middle East, which entailed cycling through the heat and desert of Saudi Arabia. On leaving the Gulf region she then continued in Pakistan and India, and it was while cycling in the high Himalayas that she was struck with a painful illness. She'd contracted  Chikungunya - a mosquito borne virus, which sparked reactive arthritis throughout her body. But despite this Madeline continued her journey through S.E Asia, before finally finishing off the final leg of her journey from Brisbane to Sydney.
