In this episode we get an insight into the life of a boxer fighting abroad, what it is like to live in India to teach music and which uncommon country's cuisine Hannah thinks is her favourite in the world.There were so many interesting stories from this episode of Travel Talks, from learning about the unison clapping in Poland, how much time boxers give themselves to acclimatise to fighting abroad and what it is like to meet the Dalai Lama.Thank you so much for choosing to listen to Travel Talks, this really is a passion project of mine but if you would like to hear more episodes then subscribing and leaving a review really does help to motivate me.If you would like to hear more from the show then you can follow Travel Talks on Instagram (@TravelTalksPodcast), YouTube (Travel Talks) and Twitter (@TravelTalksPod).Listen to more episodes: https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/travel-talksTravel Talks is available on all major podcast streaming services, it would really mean a lot if you could give the show a listen and subscribe if you enjoy it.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/travel-talks.
