I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 726. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about castles and Celts, hikes and beaches, steam trains and rugby, as we go. and

Beaches as we go to Wales.

I should be heading to Wales. Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Let's talk about

Wales. I'd like to welcome the show Portia or Pipp from pip and the City.com and the Wales

bucket list.com as well as the Travel Goals podcast and Portia has come to talk to us about whales, the country, not the animal.

Porsha, welcome to the show.

Thanks so much for having me on, Dioffam Bauer.

Oh no, we're getting into Welsh already, okay.

I'd throw a little Welsh in for you.

Well, and what is your connection to Wales?

Are you from Wales then?

I am.

I am born and bred in Cardiff or Kyadiev, as we say in Welsh.

In Northern Wales.

Yep, and that is the capital of Wales.

I actually spent quite a lot of my 20s traveling outside of Wales and moved back

when I was 30 and I've spent the last few years, sort of like still traveling a lot as a travel writer,

but also spent some time developing my

own Wales travel website as well.

Excellent.
