Group travel needn't involve being
shuttled around on 50-seater coaches, taken to the major sights to
snap your instagram pics, then...back on the bus to do it all
again.
In this podcast,
host Natascha Mirosch talks with Lisa Pagotto, founder
of Crooked
Compass who offer small group trips to
some destinations that are definitely off the well-trod tourist
path.
But, if you're usually an independent traveller, why would you
consider group travel? It's one of the questions that Natascha
poses to Lisa. They also discuss how the pandemic has shifted the
way many people want to travel, who are the people who take small
group tours, the cultural, economic and environmental advantages of
travelling this way, as well as the destinations her company covers
and more.
Lisa's just returned from
Georgia, a country that's high on Natascha's bucket list, so they
chat about it, including the top sights (turns out Georgia's
mountains outdo the Swiss and French alps for hiking and
wildlflower spotting.)
And wait until you hear what
intrepid traveller Lisa's favourite travel experience ever is - we
can guarantee it's somewhere you don't
expect!
