At the time I went from Warsaw to Belarus, they issued a 5-day visa on arrival. So, I decided to spend 4 days in the country, since my flight out would have been a few hours too late. This five-day visa on arrival was changed one day after my visit to 30 days. It must have been because I made such a good impression on the government that they changed it. Belarus It has borders with Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia – and is a fairly unexplored corner of Eastern Europe. The...

WITAM Z WARSZAWY I think I said the latest episode that it was 2 weeks in Kraków and one week in Warsaw. It was not totally accurate: 22 days in Kraków and 4 days in Warsaw. But that’s how much I enjoyed my time there. Still, I also wanted to get a taste of the capital of Poland, and this is where we’re going in this episode. I’m going to meet an Englishman that has lived here for many years. I’m interested in hearing how and why he chose to live here and hear about the city and the...

Cześć again from Kraków, Poland! Welcome to the second instalment of my visit to one of my new favourite Eastern European cities. If you missed Part I of my time in Kraków then go back and listen to get up-to-date with what I am doing and why I am here. I pick up where I left off, speaking with my new friend and Walkative! tour guide, Thomasz – a giant among tour guides here in Kraków. Literally… he’s more than 2 meters tall. DENMARK AT FIFA WORLD CUP Before I let him go, we had to talk...

WITAMY W KRAKOWIE Since recording my last episode from Slovenia, I visited a few places in Europe on business which is why I decided not to post any episodes from that time. But just to keep you updated on my recent whereabouts: I’ve been recording interviews for the follow-up to the first season of The LEGO Technic podcast. In the first season we chart the journey of the design and build of a 1-8 scale Lego model of the Bugatti Chiron in 9 episodes. And in the second season for The LEGO...

Pozdravi from Slovenia! To kick-off my visit, I decided to take a free walking tour of the capital city of Ljubljana. I always enjoy walking tours in each city I travel to as they’re a really cool way to get more familiar with the area and its history. The tour guide spoke English very well and had a good sense of humour which made the walk through the small city highly enjoyable. We visited Ljubljana’s famous Triple Bridge and caught the sights and sounds of the cosy and car-less city...

DOBRO DOŠLI U HRVATSKU Let me recap my Balkan road trip so far… I started in Albania, then I went to Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and now, I’ve arrived in Croatia. If you haven’t heard the other episodes from this region, I suggest you go back and do that too. Croatia is a country in Southern Europe with a fascinating history, cultures, and a lot of incredible outdoor attractions and historic monuments. The capital is Zagreb and the official language is Croatian – that...

See pictures here. DOBRO DOŠLI U MOSTAR Again, I go by bus to my next Balkan destination. This time north from Kotor in Montenegro to Mostar in the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was one of the other guests at the hostel in Kosovo – an English guy called Edward, that recommended Mostar and Rooms Deny to me. There’s a river that runs through Mostar from the north to the south and cuts the city in two halves. Deny, the owner of ‘Rooms Deny’, the hostel I’d booked, came to pick...

Zdravo! In the last episode of the Radio Vagabond, I was in Prizren Kosovo. From there I took a 300km bus ride west to my next destination, Montenegro! It was a country I had never seen before and the trip took me back through Albania which borders this small but beautiful land. Before I get into the details of this leg of my trip, I must say that travelling by bus through the Balkans is a great way to get from place to place in this region. The bus is nice, it’s easy and best of all it’s...

Tungjatjeta from Kosovo! After an unexpectedly amazing time in Albania, my next stop was Kosovo - one of the youngest countries in Europe. As you know, my goal is to visit every UN Nation in the world, so technically Kosovo isn’t on my list. But my travels are not just about ticking off items on my list, it’s about embarking on adventures. And seeing as I was so close, I simply had to visit - and I was not disappointed at all! AN INTRO TO KOSOVO At the end of the Yugoslav Wars in 2001,...

Përshëndetje for the last time from Albania! As I mentioned before, Albania is a country that I didn’t expect much from initially but it turned out to be pretty amazing. If you want to know why I enjoy this place so much then be sure to listen to Part I and II if you haven’t already - it’s worth it :) A big part of why I enjoyed Albania so much is because I connected with Adam - a really great guy who works in the travel industry and took time to show me around. I would also like to...

PËRSHËNDETJE AGAIN FROM ALBANIA! It’s another day in the Albanian capital of Tirana and I am about to meet Adam and Elira Kadriu, a journalist from the Albanian online media and TV channel, Dritare, at the luxurious Tirana International Hotel. You might recall from Part I that Adam joked he would make me famous...and it looks like he might have been serious! We met in the outside café of the hotel and while the TV crew was setting up their lights and cameras, Adam finally let me in on what...

Përshëndetje from Albania! After my incredible journey aboard Nomad Cruise, it was time to get back to reality. Sadly, I was unable to join my fellow nomads in Santorini for a post-cruise reunion as I had already booked my trip to the Balkans, but I promised myself I would hang around after my next Nomad Cruise - yes, I was sure there was going to be a next one. So, after a sad ‘nomad goodbye’ in Athens, I hopped on a flight headed to a country that had previously never featured high on my...

Next week we're going to Albania, and it took me by surprise. See you Wednesday.

Welcome to the third and final instalment of my Nomad Cruise adventure, where I hopped aboard the Horizon cruise ship and sailed from Spain to Greece for 9 days with a bunch of incredibly talented digital nomads. If you haven’t already listened to Part I and II then go back and do so before continuing :) Let’s jump back aboard the Horizon! CRETE We arrived on the lovely Greek island of Crete on Saturday. I was really looking forward to this stop a little more than the others because a...

Ahoy again sailors! Welcome back to Season 5 of The Radio Vagabond. In the second instalment of the season, I re-join the gang of loveable nomads on Nomad Cruise 6 sailing the Mediterranean from Spain to Greece in 9 days. If you missed Part I of my Nomad Cruise journey, then be sure to go back and listen to the podcast or read the blog. Ready? Let’s hop back aboard the Horizon cruise vessel! We pick up where we left off in Part I, where I talk to Rod, Tilo, and Austin at the meetup I...

Ahoy sailors! Welcome to Season 5 of The Radio Vagabond. Join me as I embark on an epic 9-day cruise through the Mediterranean from Malaga, Spain to Athens, Greece with a large group of digital nomads. Are you ready to hop aboard Nomad Cruise 6 with me? Let’s go! After a minor hiccup trying to get on board the cruise vessel (I left my passport in one of my check-in bags…) I soon found myself making my way to the top deck bar for an ice-cold cocktail to cool off from the blistering Spanish...

The Radio Vagabond is back with new episodes next Wednesday. In season 5 you can join me in Europe. We're going to Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Poland, Belarus and The Czech Republic. But we start on a cruise from Spain to Greece.

This is something special – and something that has become an attempt to set a World Record. Before we kick off the next season of The Radio Vagabond, where I will be roaming around in Europe, you will get the entire fourth season as one long episode. And the good part is that there will be no interruptions from my sponsor and any other plugs for Facebook and all the other bits and pieces where you might look for the skip 15 seconds button. This is 100% all travel content seamlessly edited...

While I’m working on episodes for the next season, I’ll give you some flashback episodes that you might have missed. This one was recorded in January 2018 and is from my visit to Conakry in Guinea. Find pictures and more here: Surprise: I Fell in Love with Conakry. We will kick off Season 5 in September.

While I’m working on episodes for the next season, I’ll give you some flashback episodes that you might have missed. This one was recorded in May 2017 and is from my visit to Toronto, Canada. Find pictures and more here: On the Air in Toronto, Canada. We will kick off Season 5 in September.
