135 - Nightlife on Your Travels

Ever painted the town red one night on your travels? Episode 135 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast is all about the nightlife you've experienced on your travels - whether you hit a nightclub or bar or, my personal favourite, a karaoke box in Japan! Along the way through these discussions my guests and I discovered that exploring the nightlife is also a fascinating study in cultural differences.

My first guest today is Whitney Taylor who experienced an Indian nightclub in Agra, and certainly discovered a couple of significant differences between our local Aussie nightclubs and Indian ones - and had a wonderful evening.

Next up I chat with Dan Johnston, who currently calls Prague in the Czech Republic home and has also spent time living in Germany. We discuss some of the cultural differences in nightlife experiences between countries like Australia and Canada, and the European model.

Finally I speak with Kate Toon who, like me, doesn't always get out and about at night when she travels because if you're travelling solo as a woman it's not always simple - but she did have a very interesting evening out in Cusco, Peru, while she was on a group trip - you'll have to listen to find out exactly what went on there!
