EP10: How the digital era has changed travelling off the beaten track
Listen now
Description
Each 10th episode I will pause the travel stories and talk about some historical facts, some travel tips or interview a fellow avid traveller. This episode is about the advantages and disadvantages of travelling in the non-digital era. I look at how the introduction of the internet, mobile phones and digital cameras have changed the way we travel. This includes reminiscing on the lost art of letter writing, the challenges of using a phone on an exchange and the old film cameras and SLRs in comparison to what we have today.
