The Hello and welcome to the history of Vikings.

Before I introduce today's guest, I have two important things to tell you. If you enjoy the history of Vikings, then do me a favor

and write me a review. I would love to hear your feedback. Secondly, if you have any good episode

ideas, questions, or know someone who you think that I should have on the show, feel free to

contact me, as I would be delighted to hear from you. The easiest way to contact me is via my

email address, which is

Noah at the History of Vikings.com. Again, that's Noah at the history of Vikings.com.

Today I'm joined by Stephanie Craig, amateur historian and travel enthusiast, as well as the host

of the History Fan Girl podcast. Stephanie travels around the world full time, visiting historic

sites, hidden chapels, communist monuments, ancient cities, religious relics, or any place that is

beautiful, interesting, or weird. About a week ago, I actually had the honor of being a guest

on the History Fan Girl podcast, and Stephanie and I talk all about the Viking History of Denmark. So be sure to check that out. That was a really, really great episode. I'm sure you guys would enjoy that. But Stephanie, thank you so much for joining me today. Yeah, thank you. And thank you for coming on my show. That was really fun. Yeah. No, that was awesome. That was great. So I've been a fan of your podcast for some time and i actually listened to

an interview that you did with lee akamando who of course we had on our show of the viking age

podcast and i know he's been to some viking related places before but i've never actually been

to any viking related places in Europe, Scandinavia,

Norway, Iceland, anything like that. I actually just booked my trip next year to England,

actually, so I'll be sure to see some Viking-related places there, but I know you're a full-time

traveler. What are some of your favorite places, like Viking-related places that you've been to and that people should really go check out?

Well, first, congratulations on booking your first ticket. I think that travel is addictive. And the hardest one to purchase is your first one. And then they just get easier and easier and easier. Because it just becomes so much easier to justify the money

because you see how amazing the experience was and how much it affected you. So, congratulations.

That'll be super exciting. I'm excited to watch you and hear what you guys bring back in terms of

content. So, okay, so I'll back up.
