In this episode, Travel Bubble speaks to blogger and teacher, Megan Griep. Despite not catching the travel bug until she was 25, now aged 32, she has certainly made up for lost time, describing herself as ‘addicted to travel’, having visited 80 countries since then. Originally from Wisconsin, USA she now calls Bangkok, Thailand her home having also lived in Mexico, Turkey and Spain.
Megan has travelled solo extensively and has a whole host of tales to tell from avoiding having to pay police bribes, sleeping in a tent listening to hippos and lions and a memorable eating experience involving raw whale and an overweight retired sportsman bending over. Find out where she went to swim in wine, eat a rolex and discovered that Gorillas and GoPros don’t mix by listening now.
You can also read all about her travels on her blog ESLVentures.com and you can follow her on Insta: @eslventures.
