We picked a great time to launch a travel podcast — just before the coronavirus became a global pandemic! We discuss the impact the lockdown has had on us as well as how calm and civil it has been in Bariloche, Argentina. The primary focus of Episode 4, however, is a review of the seven myths surrounding long-term travel. And here they are:

It’s expensive (or you have to save up a lot to do it)You have to speak the languageHuge risk and/or not safeIt’s only for a lucky few; “must be nice”It isn’t sustainable; it will run its courseIt’s too hard to be away from friends and family; would miss them too muchYou’re always on vacation; everything is so glamorous

We debunk the myths and share our experiences during our nearly 20 months on the road.
