76. The Travel Clinic: What Nobody Tells You Before You Travel ft. Kwena Baloyi
Loading player...
Most people think travel is simple. Book a flight, pack a bag, and go but the truth is, a lot can go wrong before you even leave the country. In this episode, I do something a little different and connect with my friend, Cultural worker & Traveler, Kwena Baloyi to construct a Travel Clinic that's answer questions people are too afraid to ask out loud. From visas and passports to solo travel fears, travel insurance, and common mistakes that could cost you time and money.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, confused, or unsure about travelling, this episode will give you clarity and confidence.
What we cover:
- What you actually need before you travel
- Travel mistakes that can ruin your trip
- The truth about solo travel
- Why travel insurance is essential
- What first-time travellers always get wrong
The information shared in this episode is based on personal experience and is intended for general guidance only. Travel requirements, visa regulations and health recommendations change frequently. Always check the official requirements for your specific destination and nationality before you travel.
