Navigating Travel Troubles in Europe: The Traveller Files

Welcome back to Talk'n TRM: The Traveller Files, where we explore the unpredictable world of business travel through the eyes of those who've navigated the highs and lows. In this episode, we join seasoned traveller Vanessa Harrison as she regales us with her rollercoaster of travel mishaps during the first quarter of 2023.

Vanessa's tales range from delayed flights and unexpected accommodations challenges to the frustration of lost luggage and the nerve-wracking experience of delivering presentations without essential resources. Through the hurdles, Vanessa finds inspiration in an unlikely place—a lipstick advert becomes a symbol of resilience, urging her to keep going despite the travel chaos.

Our host, Bex Deadman, admirably reflects on Vanessa's unwavering resilience in the face of adversity. Bex explores the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and finding inspiration in unexpected moments during the tumultuous journey of business travel.

The episode also delves into the unique challenges faced by contractors like Vanessa, who often find themselves excluded from the loop when it comes to travel planning. Bex shines a light on the ensuing questions about where the responsibility lies when things go awry, emphasising the need for clear communication and inclusive planning.

As Bex shares her reflections, she underscores the inevitability of travel mishaps and the importance of having a solid plan in place to navigate through unforeseen challenges.

 

Join us for another episode of Talk'n TRM: The Traveller Files, where each tale is a lesson, and every journey is a risk worth exploring.
