Seasonal Work plays a huge role in the lives of many backpackers. Passionate about organic farming, sustainable agriculture, permaculture, and often volunteering to acquire knowledge and new skills, travellers use seasonal work as a way of earning money whilst experiencing the world.
However, it doesn’t always go smoothly!
In this episode, Adam shares an embarrassing experience he's tried hard to forget. In 2019, whilst living in Hong Kong, Adam was gifted a rare opportunity to work for a prestigious wine producer in Burgundy, France. Intending to learn as much as possible and prepared to work himself into the ground, his enthusiasm quickly turned into overindulgence. Unsophisticated, uncouth, unbelievable!
Alun & Adam also discuss a lovely email from a lovely listener. Maintaining relationships with family and friends whilst travelling is incredibly important and far from straightforward. Technology has made regular communication much easier over the past few decades, but it's often more complicated to spend quality time with loved ones. Tune in for tips and advice on how to stay in touch with people whilst on the road - We even hear the thoughts of Alun's lovely Mum!
