After a much needed break the Departure Lounge Podcast is back!! And we are back with a bang! New format of the podcast, new guests, new conversations and new studio!
For this reason a re-introduction is definately needed; Tillyah explains her personal journey that led to why her blog became a thing - 'Travel with Tillyah' which led to the Departure Lounge Podcast being birthed, reborn and why it is now here to stay.
The Departure Lounge Podcast - great conversations whilst preparing for new destinations/new journeys.
