Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure


Sep 25, 2021

Hello!

This podcast episode is all about 'Get Outside Day', created by the Ordnance Survey to encourage and help people to, well, 'get outside' more often. The principle behind it is that they believe getting outside more helps you live longer, stay feeling younger, and allow you to enjoy life more often.

Topics discussed include:
* Settling into Glasgow
* How I resembled an upturned turtle
* What 'Get Outdoors Day' is
* How getting outside helps my mental health
* "Forest Bathing" and how woodlands are important to me
* "Earthing" and how being barefoot is important to me
* Saying 'hello' to random people on city streets
* Meeting people in parks
* An introduction to Parkrun
* Treasure Hunts, both physical & virtual
* Water bottles
* "The Good Life" and massive vegetables
* Sarah's "Reverse Commute"

Contributions in this episode come from Zoe (Splodzblogs), Maja (Away With Maja), and Sarah (The Urban Wanderer).

A PDF transcript of this episode is available.
