In this episode of Busy Gallivanting, we’re diving into some of the biggest travel pain points—those unexpected medical mishaps that turn your trip sideways. Join me and my travel partner-in-crime, Kate (@katherinehere on Instagram), as I revisit the time I managed to sprain both ankles on a solo trip to Costa Rica (yes, both!), and Kate shares the intense story of how she stepped in to save a man’s life on a mountain in Switzerland.
From clumsy falls to heroic saves, we unpack the chaos, adrenaline, and sometimes painful realities of travel mishaps that don’t always make the highlight reel.
Whether you’ve faced your own travel pain points or just want to hear wild, true stories of what can go wrong—and how to survive it—this episode is for you.
🎙️ Plus: What it’s really like to get injured solo abroad, how to stay calm when emergencies happen, and why sometimes the hardest part of travel is just staying on your feet.
