Travel to Oaxaca, Mexico – Episode 174 Transcript

back to page 1

Sarah: Ok. It should be pretty obvious. I would say mescal, chocolate and chile.

Chris: All things to eat or drink. Ok.

Sarah: All things to eat or drink. That’s why I’m telling you that’s why you should come to Oaxaca – the little things.

Chris: Interesting. Ok.

Sarah: Yeah.

Chris: Well, thank you so much for coming on the show. We’ll put a link; I think you’ll have a new blog up by the time this comes out. We’ll put a link to your new blog. I think you’ve got an article coming out about which cantina’s to go to. We’ll also put a link to that. Thank you so much for coming on the show and telling us about your current adoptive home city of Oaxaca.

Sarah: Well, Thank you so much for having me and enjoy your trip in Oaxaca.

Internet Resources

In Internet resources today, I’m going to recommend a new podcast, which is focusing on travel gear and gadgets called Road Gear, and it’s from the makers of the Amateur Traveler. I’ve just put out the first episode today. It’s a video podcast. So check that out. I’ll put a link in the show notes or you can just go over to AmateurTraveler.com. Hopefully this is something I’m going to be able to keep up. I’m not quit sure – my schedule is very busy.

Community Notes

And speaking of busy, I got an email today from Stacey who says, “I’ve been listening to your podcast for quite some time now and I really enjoy it very much. I do however have one question. I often listen to your show on my iPod while driving so I don’t always have the opportunity to look at the photos shown during the podcast while listening. I have on several occasions visited the Amateur Traveler website to try and look back at the photos from a particular episode but I can’t seem to be able to access them. Am I missing something? It would be great if the photos were available to scroll through.”

And I had to write back to Stacey and say unfortunately I have not taken the time. It would probably take another hour at least to put the photos also up on the site so that’s not something that I’ve done yet. One thing I might suggest though is when you get home, get back from the gym or in Stacey’s case, home from your commute, you can bring up the show on itunes if you’re listening to the show that has the pictures and then just scroll through quickly. You don’t have to listen to it again but you can get an idea of what pictures I used and that would be one way to do it right now.

And then thinking of things that I don’t have time to do, one of the things that I’m looking at potentially doing. I talked to some of the other travel bloggers I know and one of them at least has a intern who helps her out with a number of things. I would love to do something like that and would be glad to train someone on Internet marketing and podcasting and blogging and those sorts of things. If you think this might be something you’re interested in, then lets have a conversation. Contact me and we can figure out whether it’s mutually beneficial. Probably I would be looking for something like a three-month commitment and could even do something where we sign papers if it was a student and you were trying to get credit for class. But I think we could do something that would be educational and helpful for me at the same time. I can’t really hire somebody right now because I haven’t got advertising revenue from the show to support that. So let me know if that’s something that is of interest to you.

Also, if you’re interested in blogging for the Amateur Traveler, I am always looking for guest bloggers. So again let me know if that is something of interest to you.

Thanks to Cindy the Amateur Traveler intern for transcribing this interview
