Welcome to A Backpackers Guide to Travel, a podcast for those who love to travel and those who dream too. I am your host, Billy, and each episode I am joined by a fellow backpacker as we discuss their travel experiences and the lessons they have learned.

A Backpacker's Guide to Travel #8 | Little Miss Organised - Lauren Houlihan
This episode's guest is Lauren Houlihan, the most "sensible" person I have ever met (if you know Lauren, you will realise this is a huge lie!). Lauren and I lived together whilst I was completing my Teacher Training and became particularly close after her spending a day trying to cook a frozen pizza. Listen to Lauren tell this story and her interrail adventure as well as how she has "convinced" her boyfriend to ditch the lazy beach holidays for city-breaks which follow a strict itinerary, including lists, timings and lots of walking (hint - he didn't have much choice in the matter).
