Tripping Up

Tripping Up

Tripping Up is a brand new comedy travel podcast that's all about celebrating the less talked about side of travel: when things go wrong. Each week, host Nina Clapperton chats with an interesting guest about a time when they tripped up in their travels. Maybe they got lost on your first solo trip. Maybe their skydive ended up with you yelling for the next two weeks when your ears wouldn't pop. Maybe they got rained in and discovered a hidden talent. There's only one way to find out! Subscribe to get new episodes every week. To have your story read by a guest in our listener mail segment, send it to trippinguppod@gmail.com You can support us on Patreon.
