Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure


Feb 19, 2022

Hello!

This podcast episode talk about my recent week-long backpacking trip to Northern Ireland. However, it's less about Northern Ireland specifically, and more about the practical side of backpacking for a week in off-season while there are still Covid pandemic restrictions and admin to contend with. Though I do talk a little about some of the places and museums I visited. That said, the 'T word' probably deserves its own podcast at some point so I only talk about that in passing; indeed I think I mention Parkrun more.

Topics discussed include:
* Why this podcast episode, and that I have a cold
* Storm Dudley
* Why Northern Ireland
* Backpacker Hostels in Belfast
* Tourist Attractions Not To Visit In Bad Weather
* Booking museums in advance because of Covid
* Being the only person on a museum tour that you book in advance because of Covid
* Buying bus and train tickets not in advance
* AirBnBs
* Barefoot Parkrunning at Falls Park
* Pubs and cafes and why I have a cold
* Accepting drinks from strangers feels awkward
* It was all rather easy in the end

No contributions on this pod. Maybe I sampled someone else's pod. Maybe.
