 Indie Travel Podcast show

Summary: Today, the Indie Travel Podcast celebrates its 100th episode, and Craig and Linda celebrate their homecoming after three years of full-time travel. We decided to mark the occasion with a recap of our travels, and the life so far of ITP. So where have we been in these three and a bit years? 2006 February: South Island road trip (New Zealand) March: Hong Kong, Macau, and England March-August: Malta, and a holiday in Corfu (Greece) August-September: Sicily, Rome and North Italy September: Crazy Eurail trip through Switzerland, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands October-December: St Albans (England) December: Prague (Czech Republic) 2007 January: Scotland with family, Canterbury (England) and Paris (France) February: Italy, Austria, Hungary and Slovakia March: Austria April: Wales, England, Ireland and Austria May: Czesky Krumlov (Czech Republic), Austria, England and Scotland June: Belgium, Italy and Austria July: Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland August: Bursa and Istanbul (Turkey), England, West Highland Way (Scotland) September: Italy and Austria October: Austria, Romania and Serbia November: Croatia, Austria and England December: Malta and Germany 2008-2009 January: Seven countries in seven days – but mostly Germany, Austria and England February: Turkey, England and Austria March: Camino de Santiago (Spain) April: Spain, Portugal, England, Bulgaria, Turkey, Switzerland, Germany May: France and England June: Isle of Wight (England) and Spain July-August: Hastings (England) September: Scotland, England, Malaysia and Australia September 2008-March 2009: Perth (Australia) March-April 2009: Aussie trip, home to Auckland (New Zealand) The birth of a podcast During our travels, we realised that we'd learned a fair bit about how to travel well, and decided to share our new knowledge with the world. We started the podcast during our time in St Albans, and introduced articles, videos and the enhanced version during our time on the Isle of Wight. It's grown pretty steadily since then, and last month won the Best Travel Podcast category of the Lonely Planet Travel Blog Awards. We're planning to continue travelling, and of course to continue with the podcast. We hope you'll join us for the rest of the journey!
