What would you do if... while white water rafting on class 6 rapids in Zimbabwe, your raft hits a rock and tips over? Suddenly you find yourself choosing between letting go of the raft and drowning or breaking your arm making it difficult to swim.  About The Guest(s) Talek's blog was created to inspire your travels and to explore experiences in interesting locations. What she brings you are thoughts on how to immerse yourself in local culture, food, history and people. Website: Travels With Talek Resources. Tips & Tricks: International scale of river difficulty Class 6 Rapids (Extreme and Exploratory Rapids) are rarely attempted and often exemplify the extremes of difficulty, unpredictability and danger. The consequences of errors are severe and rescue may be impossible - Wikipedia As a result Class 6 Rapids are pretty much illegal world wide. Research the tour organization providing the rafting experience. Look for reviews and compare outfitters. Visit the local tourism bureau/office and mention that you want to go rafting and ask them to recommend a reputable company.

In a recent episode I spoke with Talek Nantes from Travels with Talek. In our conversation we talked about the different foods that we've tried around the world. I addressed this topic more in depth in a blog post that I wrote not too long along titled, The Craziest Foods That I've Eaten (So Far)! And this will be the post that I'll be reading today. I hope you're not eating anything while you listening to this!

In this episode I'm joined by Talek Nantes, creator and author of the travel blog Travels with Talek. Talek is the epitome of the phrase 'Born Traveler'. With her first travel experience occurring when her mother moved from Cuba to New York City while she was pregnant with her. Since then she has covered a lot of ground! As of the recording of this podcast episode, she has a list of 110 countries that she has visited thus far! Much of her travels have involved getting off the beaten path and immersing herself in the places that she visits. Instead of all-inclusive resorts and tourist hotspots, she opts for bustling marketplaces, local foods, and having conversations in the local language. Now she shares these experiences through her blog to inspire other travelers to seek out similar experiences. During this conversation I was surprised to discover that her and I have covered similar ground. Not only have we been to some of the same cities, but we've also eaten at some of the same restaurants. We also discuss the topic of immersion more in-depth. Talking about how moving away from the touristy areas and getting off the beaten path leads to amazing memories and much personal growth. This was a conversation that I really enjoyed and found very valuable, and I hope you all will too!

Talek Nantes has a lot of experience traveling the world and makes five to six international trips every year. Her mother traveled from Cuba to New York while she was still pregnant with Talek and owned a travel agency; this exposed Talek to the world and she does not remember a time where she wasn’t learning about different people and their cultures. On this week’s show, Talek has some age-old advice for the newbie traveler as to what to do when you've stepped foot in a foreign country and things to be aware of so you don’t get ripped off!   Key Takeaways: *What inspired Talek to travel solo? *What was Talek’s big ‘ah-ha’ moment when it came to solo travel? *So many women think solo travel is something only ‘college-aged’ women do. Not true! *The more time passes, the less likely you are to travel alone. *If you’re afraid of danger, start slowly, travel to countries that speak English or travel within the United States. *It’s easier to travel these days with the use of technology! *When Talek travels to a new country for the first time, what are some of the things she does to get familiar with the surrounding areas? *Talek has been to over 100 countries and does about five or six international trips a year. *What was Talek’s trip to New Zealand like? *Where has Talek traveled to, throughout her life? *What advice does Talek have for those who might not feel very comfortable traveling to China? *What kinds of resources does Talek like to use while researching for a new trip? *Do your research, but don’t over-plan! It takes some of the excitement out of it. *Always asks how much something costs before buying it. It may sound dumb, but very rarely do we do this consistently. Talek spent $80 on a manicure because she didn’t do this. *Don’t be afraid to be a bit assertive and impolite. Sad to say, but people try to take financial advantage of women because they don’t think they’d protest. *What’s next for Talek?   Mentioned in This Episode: Transformviatravel.com Transform via Travel on Facebook @GoSoloLive on Twitter Email: Jennifer@TransformviaTravel.com Patreon.com/gosololive Possumpete.com.au/ Skyscanner.net Momondo.com Rome2rio.com   Connect with Talek: Website Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram   Leave a Review: Did you like this episode?
