Surviving Getting Sick After Traveling (with Brianne Miers) | 17

What would you do if...

You found yourself getting sick after traveling – after a year of back-to-back trips you become ill with a stomach virus that just doesn’t seem to want to go away. Nothing seems to work; acupuncture, expensive meds and even clinical trials at local hospitals.

About The Guest(s)

Brianne started her blog in the summer of 2015 with the goal of encouraging professionals to take time away from their busy lives to travel. She wanted to share stories of those of us who have responsibilities like jobs, homes, pets, as well as spouses and children, yet still make travel a priority to inspire others to do so too. Brianne is also very committed to travelling as sustainably as possible. For her that means supporting responsible companies by doing her research, leaving a light environmental footprint wherever she goes, and ensuring her tourist dollars stay within local communities by avoiding chain hotels and restaurants.

Ever had a trip go so spectacularly wrong it becomes a story you tell for years? That’s the territory explored in Travel Horror Stories Podcast, hosted by Christopher Rudder. This isn't just a collection of misfortunes, though. Each episode sits down with a diverse mix of guests-from seasoned travel writers and influencers to professionals in tourism and regular people who just ventured a bit too far off the map. They share their most vivid, gripping tales from the road, which range from the genuinely scary and tense to the downright weird, silly, and unsettling. The real hook is what happens after the story is told. Rudder and his guest unpack the experience, digging into what actually went awry, what the traveler did right in the moment, and what could have been done differently. It’s this blend of empathetic storytelling and practical reflection that gives the podcast its unique flavor. You’ll find yourself cringing, laughing, and maybe even learning a thing or two about navigating the unpredictable world of travel. Tuning into this podcast feels like swapping stories with a well-traveled friend, where every misadventure holds a lesson, or at least a really good laugh.
