Podcasts about strangers abroad

In this episode, Candice is joined by traveler and writer Adrien Behn to discuss how she discovered herself through traveling at different stages of life. They break down the ways in which patriarchy discourages women traveling (nonetheless solo) and how even bumps in the road can lead to a more independent, confident sense of self. Adrien not only tells her real lived experiences from her times abroad in her interview series but also hosts a narrative podcast based on the true stories of two extraordinary female journalists who raced around the world in the 19th century.

How can we look back in history to find inspiration and motivation for our next move forward? Today, Adrien Behn joins me to talk about the incredible journey of Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland, two female writers who raced each other around the world in 1889. Adrien Behn is the host of the Strangers Abroad podcast and the newly released non-fiction narrative podcast, A Race Around the World: Based on the True Story of Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland. In this episode, Adrien gives us an overview of how their incredible adventure began, her creative process for developing the podcast, and how she relates to it as a world traveler herself. We have a deeper conversation around the art of storytelling, finding your voice, and the lessons from this journey that can inspire us today.

Episode 116. "I really want other people to go out and live the most adventurous life that you can, and to fill your life with stories, because it's so easy to live the same exact year over and over and over again.” ~Adrien Behn It's The Creative Impostor's 5th birthday!!!

Reviews: http://ratethispodcast.com/creative The Creative Impostor Collective: http://www.thecreativeimpostor.com/community The best travel experiences are the most personal. Adrien Behn certainly proves that point. As the voice and vision behind Strangers Abroad, Adrien has crafted a podcast that plays like a series of immersive travelogues-as-intimate-conversation. In the process, she's archiving the experiences that make travel so seductive and inviting listeners to take a chance on connecting with the unknown. In her quest to connect with the unfamiliar, Adrien's travels remind her of the common thread that binds us all. Her approach is clear-eyed and grounded, as one would expect from a backpacker practiced in the arts of budgeting and making do.  “I sometimes think travel is really hard work because it can be very confronting and put you in a pressure cooker in a good way.”  Adrien reminds travelers - especially women - that the pressure cooker is what makes trips off the well-worn path worth the effort. And while she's not advocating that anyone wander through Latin America with their soon-to-be-ex, she is suggesting that expansive growth takes place in the most unlikely travel circumstances. Pushing past the physical and mental boundaries of our comfort zones is a challenge anytime. During a pandemic, it can feel downright impossible. Adrien's exploring several creative options to rev up her flow (feminist porn anyone?) but not forcing any of those endeavors too seriously. For the woman who published her first episode of season 2 of Strangers Abroad on the same day that New York City went into hard lockdown, low-key and local travel options offer the same mind-expanding experiences as future global adventures. It's all about the deeper connection. Head over to Adrien's crossover episode on Podcast Envy for insight into how she crafts such evocative audio adventures.

Episode 074. “I make this show because if you just boiled me down into a soup, I'm a storyteller." ~Adrien Behn Behind every podcast with a lush soundscape is a creator who’s spent hours extracting just the right notes from her recording of an ambient flute. Adrien Behn is that podcaster. As the voice and vision behind Strangers Abroad, she takes an exacting approach to her work. The result is ear candy for the pandemic-ly paused adventurer, a layered travelogue that speaks to the power of global connection on an intimate level. All of that pre- and post-production labor begs the question why do this?  In a media landscape packed with flawless content at the expense of realness, Adrien’s stylistic stories highlight rather than hide her vulnerability. She applies the same generosity of spirit to her show, reveling with her listeners in the unglamorous realities of travel and exposing the messy/beautiful process of growth that happens outside of the comfort zone.  Want more? Adrien’s crossover episode on The Creative Impostor is coming soon. Subscribe now for a “travels with my ex tale” that proves her fearlessness in real life as well as behind the mic.

Hello everyone and welcome to A Pretty Normal Podcast, a show that reimagines what society considers normal. Each week I interview different guests about the topics they're most passionate about.This week I had the opportunity of interviewing Adrien Behn, host of the Strangers Abroad Podcast, a narrative travel podcast about a solo female backpacker who interviews strangers she meets while backpacking. I always love interviewing digital nomads and travelers because they have amazing experiences to tell and while were all still daydreaming about the day when we can return to traveling and vacationing without fear of coronavirus why not live vicariously through their stories. So make sure you go check out the Strangers Abroad podcast, Adrien is an amazing story teller and the quality of her show is superb. You really feel like you're right there with her as she takes you around the world meeting new people. In this interview we speak about her experience as a solo female traveler, her episode titled worried where she describes her experience with sexual assault while abroad and she gives advice to other women who are considering travelling by themselves. Subscribe to the show and follow us on Facebook // Instagram // Twitter // YoutubeRemember to leave us a rating and review if you enjoy the content brought to you every week.

This week I am joined by the lovely Adrien Behn, a professional storyteller, public speaker, writer, and world traveler. She’s been featured in The New York Times and BuzzFeed listed her podcast, Strangers Abroad, as one of the best travel podcasts of 2017. Strangers Abroad started out as a series of conversations that Adrien had with the wonderful people she met while backpacking throughout Latin America for 5 months and in her new season she delves deeper to explore topics such as loneliness, anxiety, and identity.In this episode, Adrien shares her experiences as a solo traveler and how she lived abroad for 7 months and never paid for a bed (on top of making rich connections with locals). We also get into some unexpected conversations about the creative process, the complexity of strangers, and finding yourself and your identity in loneliness.LinksLatest episode of Strangers Abroad: AloneAdrien Behnwww.strangersabroadpodcast.comInstagram @strangersabroadpodcastStrangers Abroad Podcastwww.adrienbehn.comAdam Gavinwww.adamgavin.comInstagram @adamgavinhello@adamgavin.com

This mini episode is the prologue to the second season of Strangers Abroad.    We all experience moments of anxiety during or around the planning of our trip .    The planning.    The packing.    The waiting.    And then the day arrives when our flight is about to take off. Carry us to far off corners of the world. Maybe new adventures or repeating affairs.    But that anxiety doesn’t leave.    Getting to the airport.  Going through check-in,  security,  finding the gate, smooshing yourself onto the plane  and finding your seat.    But then there is the fear of leaving all that you once knew.  Saying goodbye to loved ones. Putting your normal life on pause.  Every familiar sound, smell, and comfort will be thousands of miles away, and you don't know what you are getting yourself into.    This episode explores the stages of anxiety we experience before we take off and how to buckle up for what is coming next.

This week we present two stories from people who had disastrous moments with their own genitals. Part 1: Lonely after her move to New York City, Adrien Behn finds a friend in her copper IUD. Part 2: While recovering from prostate cancer surgery, Dana Strout finds a creative solution to his incontinence. Adrien Behnis a triple threat storyteller: she is a podcaster, writer, and live story performer. She has been featured in the New York Times and has self-produced her first podcast, Strangers Abroad, a narrative travel podcast. You can find her performing around the city or in her kitchen making pies. Dana Strout is a Maine native, with roots in this state going back over 300 years. He is a practicing attorney in the Camden/Rockport area, specializing in construction law. He is a photographer working in 19th and early 20th century processes, and was an on air programmer for many years on WERU Community Radio. He currently lives with his wife Dorie and two cats in Camden, and enjoys gymnastics, a warped sense of humor and a good story. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is a sample clip of Strangers Abroad by Adrien Behn

We have finally arrived at our final destination, Peru, where I find the people who are so similar to me I was surprised we aren’t blood-related. This episode is with my chocolate soul mate, Jen, whom I shared a room with while working at a chocolate shop in the south of Peru. The friends you meet on the road are a special breed- they see you at your most uncomfortable, your most scrappy and sometimes desperate because of the extremeness of living life abroad. While we were living together, Jen got her backpack stolen and I got painfully sick; we experienced each other at more overwhelming points that not even our own mothers would have known how to handle. When you are abroad, you open yourself up to the curveballs of the world-testing your resourcefulness and perseverance. You don’t even know who you are in these situations or how you will respond. So, when you make friends who witness you at this simultaneously euphoric and tumultuous point in your life- and they still like you afterward- it is a bond like no other. These microwave moments weather your relationship because of experiencing each other in extremes. She understands a part of me that my oldest friends don’t. Jen has cunningly found ways to stay on the road while pursuing her creative career. Find out how she does it in the newest episode of Strangers Abroad!

Today's podcast is with Adrien Behn. Adrien is the host of the Strangers Abroad podcast. Strangers Abroad is a series of conversations Adrien had with the wonderful and weird people she met during her journey to Latin America in 2015: a 5-month, 5,000 kilometer adventure spanning 10 countries, hundreds of people, and countless stories. If you want to hear a first hand tale of booking a one way ticket and winging it then this is the podcast for you. It’s an honest example of long term backpacking: the successes and struggles, the screw ups and spontaneous adventures, and all the mundane moments in between. This podcast aims to illuminate how when you travel it becomes so clear how interconnected we are. Those you expose yourself to become part of you and vis versa from the taxi drivers, helpful locals, fellow volunteers, or the people you sit next to on a bus. Although I may have known these people for a few minutes, hours, or fortunate enough to spend months with them, we are now part of a larger story....

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala Are you about to finish university and have a future that is unsettlingly open? Are you afraid you don’t have a clear direction and are nervous about leaving the structure of school? Are you uncertain on whether you should take a little time to go find yourself and journey to someplace new? These were all questions that were plaguing Lisa from Germany, who I met on a tiny boat late at night in Lake Atitlan Guatemala. We talk about her research, her decision to travel and be out of her comfort zone. Hear her story and reflection about choosing to travel a distance corner of the world instead of jumping right into a career- and the rewards she would have never received had she stayed in her homeland.

Tulum: Mexico Have you ever felt that all the gadgets and things you have bought for yourself still leaves you emotionally unsatisfied? Have you ever thought of selling everything you have to hit the open road?Ed and V Noriega were having those same feelings too. They realized that they were running out of time to see the world before committing to the biggest responsibility of all:children. So they sold all they had ( profitable companies and all their tech toys) to go and explore other corners of the world. They have made a vow to not have children until they have been to 50 countries together. Listen to “ 50 Countries before Kids” and see whether the choice to abandon their stable lives to explore for a few years has paid off. Hear their story on Strangers Abroad!
