Every now and then in our travels, if we’re lucky, we stumble into the kind of connections we carry with us, shaping how we see the world long after we get home. Do you have a story like this?
Whether it’s with another traveller, a trip leader, someone local we meet along the way – these are the serendipitous crossings of paths that really mean something. We tell these stories all the time on The Good Times (see some of our faves below), and now we’re looking for your stories for a new podcast we’re working on.
If you met someone on your Intrepid travels who showed you a different perspective, made you think twice about what’s important in life, taught you something about who you want to be – someone you’d love the chance to reconnect with – we want to hear about it.
Share your story via our form, and if it’s a good fit for our project, we’ll be in touch! Travellers featured in the podcast will receive a US$500 travel voucher to put towards future Intrepid travels.
