Coronavirus Complications with Becky Sampson

Seize Your Adventure

In this bonus episode, I catch-up with Becky Sampson. Four months after our initial conversation, coronavirus has changed plans for many. Becky tells me how it affected her round-the-world trip.

In today's episode we talk about:

• Walking the Coast to Coast Track in Australia - in 9 days!
• Taking epilepsy medication across international borders
• The limits on anti-seizure medication for long journeys
• The unwanted side-effects of Sodium Valporate
• Seeing orangutans in Sumatra
• Being surrounded by monkeys in Angkor Wat without tourists
• Deciding whether to come back to the UK because of coronavirus
• Struggling to be repatriated
• Flying over the mountains in Cambodia
• Planning hikes in the UK
• Plus, what does 'adventure' mean to Becky?
