    Ep10: Moving a cat from Malaga to Scotland by plane, train and automobile

    Today I'm talking about how I (eventually) managed to move my cat from southern Spain to northern Scotland - a trip that involved two people and a cat flying from Malaga to Paris, one person and a cat staying there while the other person flew onwards to London, renting a car in London and driving through the Eurotunnel back to Paris, all three then driving from Paris back to the UK and all the way up to Scotland. Crazy? Yes. Necessary? Also yes.  I'm your host Kelly O'Brien, and this is These Corners of the World.

    Ep8: Wild Safari Stories (Part 2 - Tanzania!)

    A few years ago, I spent an amazing month travelling between Kenya and Tanzania. A large part of that time was spent on safari. This is a podcast about that experience. If you haven't yet seen part one of Wild Safari Stories, check it out here: https://youtu.be/tKXRSWX2vwU?si=qWkPSGxSGPYgfjYD Here's the full itinerary of my epic safari: Nairobi - Great Rift Valley viewpoint - Narok - Masai Mara National Reserve - Lake Nakuru - Amboseli National Park - Namanga - Arusha - Tarangire National Park - Hell's Gate National Park - Tarangire National Park - Ngorongoro Crater - Olduvai Gorge - Serengeti National Park - Lake Manyara - Arusha - Kilimanjaro - Nairobi The safari was organised by Erick from Ewamann's Safaris, and cost me a total of $1,720. In this podcast (which is two of two continuing podcasts!) I talk about the Tanzanian part of the trip, from Arusha to the Serengeti, and back to Arusha and Kilimanjaro. As expected, it includes encounters with elephants, lions, vultures, hippos, and more. I'm your host Kelly O'Brien, and this is These Corners of the World.

    Ep1: The psychology behind why I travel so much

    As a fetus, I went to France. I didn't go anywhere else (of note) until I was 18-years-old when my mother once again took me to France. I was hooked. Within a few short months, I had maxed out two credit cards and went to live in New York City for three whole months.  This podcast takes you through my childhood as I (inexpertly) attempt to psychoanalyse the reason behind my love of travel - a love that prompted me to quit a job I loved to go and see the world. 79 countries later, I ask the question: what's behind all this? And will it ever stop?  I'm your host Kelly O'Brien, and this is These Corners of the World.

    Trailer: An Irish girl travelling the world - 79 countries and counting

    I'm Kelly O'Brien, a writer, travel blogger, and former journalist who's on a mission to visit every country in the world.  At the time of writing this, I've officially visited 79 countries... so I'm almost halfway there!  My love of travel started when I was around 18-years-old. Before this, I'd only ever been to my home country and to a convent in England.  This podcast is an effort to capture the inner workings of my mind - I share travel tips and tricks, country-specific advice, my top tourist attractions, funny anecdotes from my travels and, of course, go off on quite a few rants and tangents. Please join me on this crazy adventure!  I'd also love to connect with you, wherever you're most active:  - Instagram  - YouTube - Facebook - TikTok  - X (Formerly Twitter)  - On my website www.thesecornersoftheworld.com
