    Table for Three: Solo Travel, Driving Tests & Dutch Bike Chaos

    What happens when you travel alone, your holiday plans suddenly change, and you start wondering whether €3,000 is better spent on a driving license or a holiday? Red Eye and Erratic Asthmatic get into all of it. The conversation starts with Erratic trying to reorganize a complicated trip after plans change and the realization that planning a holiday is already annoying enough without having to do it twice. That leads into the joys of travelling alone: no schedules, no arguing over restaurants, no waiting for someone who doesn't want to go somewhere, and absolutely nobody stopping you from booking a table for three when it's just you, yourself and I. The guys also debate whether the best way to plan a trip is simply to find the food first and build everything else around it. Then comes the €3,000 question. Should you spend thousands getting a Dutch driving license, or take the money and disappear somewhere for a week instead? From the cost of driving lessons and exams to public transport, car insurance, road tax and parking, the guys try to work out whether owning a car actually makes sense in the Netherlands. And naturally, the conversation ends up exactly where you'd expect: Dutch bikes. Shark teeth. Right of way. Crosswalks that apparently function more like suggestions. And the shocking revelation that Erratic hasn't ridden a bicycle in years despite living in the Netherlands. It's another episode full of travel problems, first-world problems, bad financial decisions, Dutch road survival and plenty of shenanigans. 🎧 Listen now
