At the Extraordinary Travel Festival in Bangkok, I sat down with three fascinating travelers who each have unique perspectives on seeing the world.
Lakshmi Parthasarathy is a solo female traveler, challenging stereotypes and embracing adventure beyond traditional expectations. Raiiq Ridwan, a doctor in the UK traveling on a Bangladeshi passport, shares insights into navigating visa restrictions while still making his travel dreams come true. And Joel Olson, a dedicated explorer, has a deep appreciation for history and culture that fuels his passion for discovering the world.
In this episode, we discuss:
✔️ Overcoming travel restrictions and visa challenges
✔️ What it’s like to travel solo as a woman
✔️ The power of storytelling and history in travel
✔️ Why going beyond the tourist trail leads to the best experiences
Do you have a story about a travel challenge you’ve faced? I’d love to hear from you! Send me an email at listener@theradiovagabond.com, leave a voice message at theradiovagabond.com/contact, or DM me on Instagram @radiovagabond.
