Two days in Azerbaijan

Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure

Hello :) So, as you know, I've recently been away for two weeks, ostensibly to attend the Traverse Travel Blogger Conference, which this year took place in Tbilisi, in Georgia. I've never been to that party of the world, and it'd always been on my list. I clearly went at the wrong time of year, but that's just what happens sometimes. This is going to be the first of a couple of pods about the trip, and concentrates mainly on talking about the conference itself, the background to why I went, and on my first couple of days travelling, mostly spent in Azerbaijan. Topics discussed in this episode are:

• I'm not running at the moment
• The Traverse Blogger Conference
• Niching out my website
• Background to my journey
• 4 flights and 5 airports
• One day in Baku
• Mud volcanoes
• Ancient and mediaeval rock art
• Fire Temples and Fire Mountains
• Impressions of Azerbaijan, including money, language, and queerness

A PDF transcript will be available shortly. As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I have a newsletter with extra content, and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution. I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over. Until next time, bye for now. :)
