111
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: week is also a movie, I suppose, but it's Lady

112
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: Gaga's CHROMATICA Ball, which is now stan So it's a

113
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: concert film of her most recent tour, which is the

114
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: CHROMATICA Ball, which is the tour for the album that

Speaker 2: came out in twenty twenty, which is her most recent album.

116
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 4: But Lady Gaga is.

117
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: Easily one of the best live performers I've ever seen.

118
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: I think I've seen her three times now, but she

119
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: hasn't toured in Australia since twenty fourteen, So especially for

120
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: Australian Gaga fans, it's just an amazing opportunity to, you know.

121
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 4: Experience some crumbs.

122
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, get like one little straw of a concert from

123
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: her and hold on to it for as long as

124
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: you can because I don't know when she when or

125
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: if she'll ever come back.

126
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, she's just so talented.

127
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: And also if you've never seen her live, it's like

128
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: an amazing opportunity to I guess get that experience.

129
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, it's really cool.

130
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,520

Speaker 5: Woo okay, jumping into our secret savvy travel tips.

136
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: Is planning your cash money?

137
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: Like, I know budgeting for a holiday is important, it's

138
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 5: also a little bit boring, like it's not necessarily fun,

139
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 5: but I do think it's the first steps because it's

140
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 5: literally going to be the source of truth of how

141
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 5: you're doing your entire holiday. And when you're planning your holidays,

142
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 5: you want to look at your budget because there is

143
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 5: no one set rule of how much you'll need, because

144
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 5: it does depend on whether you want to go bougie

145
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 5: or you want to go budget, or maybe you want

146
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 5: to have different tiers like saves, bend, splurge your holiday.

147
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 5: But some things you do need to take into consideration

148
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 5: when planning a travel budget is your flights, your travel insurance,

149
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 5: internal transport like flights, trains, ferries, accommodation like how much

150
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 5: is your budget per night? Is there a certain place

151
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 5: or your itinerary that you want to splurge for something

152
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 5: a bit nice and take into consideration places that are

153
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 5: a bit more expensive, like, for example, Paris is fuck off. Yeah, Like,

154
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 5: looking at accombination Paris, I was.

155
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: Like, oh no, I think Paris is always expensive, but

156
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: the Olympics doesn't.

157
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 5: I'm going to go live with ratitude yeah, like gratitude bye.

158
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,960

Speaker 4: We can put the single beds together.

161
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 5: And then of course you're spending. So those are the

162
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 5: ways that you would break it up. So you would

163
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 5: break it up in terms of your budget as per

164
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: those categories, and then that can kind of help you.

165
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 5: And then one thing with your budget is, like we

166
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: said at the start of the episode, have a buffer

167
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 5: because you'll be like, yeah, I went into Europe being

168
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 5: like one hundred bucks per night, right. My silence speaks

169
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 5: all the and I actually think it's very rare to

170
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 5: even find hotels for that price. Now that you know

171
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 5: hotels or airbnbs for that price that you know are

172
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 5: a decent location with decent reviews, and you know all

173
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 5: the services that you want there definitely are some out

174
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 5: there for sure, of course, but yeah, I had a

175
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 5: rude shock when I looked at some prices.

176
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I just think.

177
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: As well, your security and your safety is so important,

178
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: So that's also something to factor in when you're looking

179
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: at the cost of accommodation especially.

180
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 5: I think it's good to set your dream budget and

181
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: then have a little bit wiggle room in.

182
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 4: It, yeah, exactly.

183
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And because they are like a few different components

184
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: in your travel budget, it's really good to build it

185
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: out in an itinerary in Google sheets or whatever, you know, Excel,

186
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: whatever you prefer, And then that way you can have

187
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: everything listed out.

188
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: You can do it per day.

189
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: Per night, and then also per person if you're traveling

190
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: with a friend or with a partner, and then also

191
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: have links to all of your confirmations for your hotels

192
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 2: and activities and flights linked in that to a Google Drive.

193
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: So then that way you're not like.

194
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: Oh, wait, fuck, where's that hotel accommodation receipt?

195
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: I don't know where's this invoice?

196
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: You have the receipts, Yeah, so you've got everything there

197
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: and it's all in one place. And then as well,

198
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: then you can really keep track of how much you're

199
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: spending across your flights, accommodation, and activities to get more

200
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: of a big picture idea of how much you're spending.

201
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: And if you're sticking to your.

202
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 5: Budget, then you're going to want to organize your packing.

203
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: So why is this the hardest part?

204
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, seriously, I am on a journey of trying to

205
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,479
Speaker 5: be a better packer. I think I'm good with the necessities.

206
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 5: I'm not very good with the nice to haves, And

207
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 5: that's the two categories that like you put your packing into.

208
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 5: So organizing it in two tiers of absolute necessities. If

209
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 5: you don't bring this on the trip, you're fucked, and

210
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 5: nice to have of Yeah, I'm glad I brought it,

211
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 5: you know. So absolute necessities for your international trip includes

212
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 5: obviously your passport. But you need to check the expiration

213
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 5: date on your passport because you need a buffer on that.

214
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 5: So I didn't realize this until really recently that for

215
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 5: a lot of places to travel to you need six

216
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 5: months left on your passport as a minimum, Like for

217
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 5: America and Bali, you need to have six months. If

218
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 5: you have less than six months but you're going next month,

219
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 5: you still can't go. Yeah, which is wild and you

220
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 5: need to check it depending on where you're traveling to,

221
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 5: because everywhere has different kind of rules around that, Like

222
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 5: in Europe it's like three to six months depending on

223
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 5: what country you're going to.

224
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

225
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: And you can do express to get your passport renewed.

226
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 4: But how much did that cost? It costs like five

227
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 4: hundred dollars.

228
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 5: Oh that's expensive and passports are already expensive.

229
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. Also that five hundred dollars on top I

230
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: was like five hundred and something together.

231
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so still very expensive, especially when you're

232
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: trying to save for your holiday. Yeah, so keep that

233
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 2: in mind for sure, and don't leave it to the

234
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: last minute.

235
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 5: And this next one is you is it? You actually

236
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 5: taught me about this next one because I was doing

237
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 5: it the original way, but you've kind of enlightened me

238
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 5: into this next tip.

239
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 4: So talk us through it. Oh sure.

240
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 2: So with your phone, you've got a few different options. Obviously,

241
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 2: you need to take your phone with you. A lot

242
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: of plans in Australia have like five dollars a day roaming. However,

243
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: you need to toss up whether or not it's a

244
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: better option to do that or get a SIM card.

245
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: Or an e SIM, because it really depends on how

246
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: long you're going to be traveling. Because if you're going

247
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: away on a short trip, using roaming is probably going

248
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: to be fine. If you're going away for a week,

249
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: you know, that's probably going to be what thirty five dollars, like,

250
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: you know, that's probably okay. Whereas if you're going away

251
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 2: for you know, thirty to forty days on a europe

252
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: trip for example, that could cost one hundred and fifty

253
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: to two hundred dollars if you were to use your

254
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: five dollars a day roaming, Whereas you can get e

255
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: sims that cost one hundred and twenty dollars and you'll

256
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: get two hundred gigs and that'll last you the whole trip,

257
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: and you don't actually have to.

258
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: Buy a physical sim.

259
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: It's an electronic sim that you can just switch on

260
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: and off in your phone. Yeah, whereas previously I had

261
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 2: always like gone up to the phone counter.

262
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 5: Wait, is that why it's called an e SIM.

263
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, So with a SIMP usually like in New Zealand,

264
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: for example, I go up to the little counter and

265
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: be like, Hi, can I please buy a SIM card?

266
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 4: And then you know, take it out and put it

267
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: in your phone.

268
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 5: Want something down the pod?

269
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, with this, it's an electronic sim that you have

270
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: to scan a QR code and then it gets uploaded

271
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: in your phone, and then it'll give you instructions on

272
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: how to do it, because it'll vary depending on your device,

273
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: but it'll give you instructions on how you can go

274
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 2: in and switch your existing SIM card off and then

275
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: turn your e SIM card on and then that way,

276
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: for some reason, you did want to use your original

277
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: SIM card, for example, to use your number, So for like,

278
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: if you've got reservations linked to your existing phone number,

279
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: you can still turn it on. You don't have to

280
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: go and get that little fucking pin and pop open

281
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: your SIM card and make sure that's in a safe place.

282
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

283
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 4: I was like, wow, I'm mind blind.

284
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: So not only could it end up more affordable or

285
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: more cost effective, but also less stressful and less time

286
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: consuming as well. But yeah, just make sure that when

287
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: you do buy the eSIM, you're doing it somewhere with

288
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: Wi Fi, whether that's before you leave or in the airport,

289
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 2: because you will need to scan a QR code and

290
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: like download and download it.

291
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 5: Yeah. So next on our list of like necessities or

292
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 5: your fucked is your bank card, So get a bank

293
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 5: travel card that doesn't charge international transaction fees and populnes

294
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 5: we've seen in like our hectic research and planning is

295
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 5: wise and up bank. Obviously that's not financial advice. You

296
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 5: can do your own research, but those are ones that

297
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 5: we've seen most people sharing as like what they used.

298
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 5: And then some quick little last ones. Is a portable charger.

299
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 5: You use your phone so much. Nothing worse than having

300
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: to like go between aeroplane mode, a universal travel plug adapter,

301
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 5: air tags, a luggage scale because you're like five hundred

302
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 5: grams over in the airport.

303
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 4: It's like that'll be.

304
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 5: Seven hundred and twenty thousand dollars in your firstborn plus

00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 5: I've always been a bum bag lover.

Speaker 5: Yeah.

317
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: Another tip for your packing is check the baggage limits

318
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: because this will vary between different airlines if you're traveling

319
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: if you've got multiple legs of your trip, so you

320
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: may have twenty three kilos of baggage for example in Australia,

321
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: but then if you're flying between countries or interstate, depending

322
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: on where you're going, they may have different limits for

323
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: size and weight. So you don't want to be going

324
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: over there with twenty three kilos only to find out, oh,

325
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: I can only have twenty kilos for my domestic flight

326
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: in America, and now I have to pay eight hundred

327
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: dollars to go from this flight from LA to New York.

328
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 5: You know. Now. Our next tip is a word from

329
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 5: a fabulous sponsor, but we recently use this for a

330
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 5: domestic trip as well, and I had no idea this existed,

331
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 5: and it saved us so much time and money. But

332
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 5: it's to use the webjet Multi City tool to book

333
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 5: multiple flights. So the webject Multi City tool scans hundreds

334
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 5: of airlines and over three thousand destinations, serving up like

335
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 5: the best itinerary in literally a couple of clicks, saving

336
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 5: you time and effort. So because you're flying in and

337
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 5: out of different destinations, you can end up having to

338
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 5: sit there and book like multiple one way flights and

339
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 5: you kind of can't see them all in conjunction with

340
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 5: each other, Whereas with this tool, you can combine different

341
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 5: airlines on each leg of the trip and can easily

342
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 5: prioritize time saving, cost efficiency or stopovers, depending on what

343
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 5: you want to fit into your itinerary.

344
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 4: Like if you want to.

345
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 5: Just get to places and that's your priority, then it'll

346
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 5: show you the fastest ones. If you want to be

347
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 5: on a budget, it will show you the cheapest ones,

348
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 5: which might mean like a couple stops or however that looks,

349
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 5: or it might be an earlier flight. You can fly

350
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 5: into one city and out from another, So it's also

351
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: really good if you're traveling by car or train somewhere

352
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 5: in between your destinations, or if you're doing a circular route.

353
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 5: So there's three steps you want to do to purchase

354
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 5: up to six flights in one go in the multi

355
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 5: city tab on the Webjet website or mobile app, So

356
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 5: simply search the departure, city, destinations, and travel dates to

357
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 5: explore a variety of flight options that the technology provides,

358
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 5: select the flights that align with your preferences like we

359
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 5: just said before, so like cheapest, fastest or best available,

360
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 5: and finally book by entering your passenger details and finalizing

361
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 5: the payment process all in one gom gorgeous And.

362
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: Like we said, when we did this, it saved us

363
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: so much time and money. It literally only took a

364
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 2: couple of minutes, whereas usually if you were having to

365
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: book flights with multiple different airlines for different legs of

366
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: your trip, that would take you so long and would

367
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 2: be so confusing and stressful. So yeah, we'll put a

368
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: link to the webjet multi city to Turk in the

369
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: show notes so that you can check it out.

370
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: Long haul flights, though, I am like a bit. I

371
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 5: think the longest flight I've ever done is fourteen hours

372
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 5: in one in one seat or just in general. Oh

373
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 5: no wait no, New York to Sydney. New York to

374
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 5: Sydney was a good stint. But yeah, fourteen hours on

375
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 5: a plane is hectic, and there's lots of like little

376
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 5: tips that you can pick up for long haul flights.

377
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 5: But I saw this hack, like this amazing travel tip

378
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 5: and hack for flights on TikTok, and it was that

379
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 5: if you text yourself the flight number for your flight.

380
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 5: You can text it to yourself or you can text

381
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 5: it to someone else and you click the link, it

382
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 5: shows you your flight details and the flight path, and

383
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 5: then within twenty four hours, apparently it'll show your gate number.

384
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 5: It'll show you if it's delayed, like it updates in

385
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 5: real time, so if someone's picking you up from the

386
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 5: airport as well, you can send them just the flight

387
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 5: number and it will show them, like when you're coming

388
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 5: in and landing, like you can get a really good

389
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 5: tailwind and you land a bit earlier. I know why

390
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 5: am I like? But it shows you in real time,

391
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 5: like your flight details, your gate, if your gate changes.

392
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 4: That is so cool, I know.

393
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 5: So I saw this from a TikTok called Derby, and

394
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 5: I'll link it in the show notes as well. So

395
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 5: I tested it on a flight that we've got coming

396
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 5: up and it worked. But like I think, but because

397
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 5: it's a little bit further out, it didn't show all

398
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 5: the details. But then I think in twenty four hours

399
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 5: it'll show you all the other details. That's so cool,

400
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 5: so cool, what a good hack. I know.

401
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 4: I loved it.

402
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 5: And then the other one I saw was this one's

403
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 5: a bit of a gamble. This travel hacks a bit

404
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 5: of a gamble. Is you know, when you're selecting your

405
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 5: seats and say you're traveling with two people, Yeah, one

406
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 5: of you will seat in the window, and one of

407
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 5: you'll seat in the middle, And the middle is the

408
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 5: fucking bane of my existence. I've never ever ever had

409
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 5: to go experience sitting in the middle seat. I'm always

410
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 5: Actually that's a lie. One time we sat next to

411
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 5: that really nice dad. Oh yeah, he was great, and

412
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 5: I was like, I love you. Yeah. But recently I

413
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 5: also sat next to the worst man in the world,

414
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 5: which was the story for another time.

415
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 3: If you listen to a few episodes back here, he.

416
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 5: Was like man spreading, he was taking my arm rest.

417
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 5: It was horrible. So this is like a little hack

418
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 5: to get like the whole row for two people, and

419
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 5: you select.

420
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 4: So you've got two people.

421
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 5: One of you selects the window seat and one of

422
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 5: you selects the aisle seat, and it's probably better to

423
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 5: do it a little bit more to the back of

424
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 5: the plane because they book from the front to the

425
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 5: back most of the time. But you leave the middle

426
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 5: seat free and because most people don't want to sit

427
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 5: in the middle seat, it likely won't get booked. And

428
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 5: obviously it's a gamble because if it's a full flight,

429
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 5: someone will just get put there.

430
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 4: It's a risk.

431
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 5: But what you just do because no one likes to

432
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 5: sit in the middle seat, is you just like, oh,

433
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 5: like that's that's actually my friend. Do you mind if

434
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 5: we swap seats and I'll take the middle seat and

435
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 5: then that person gets the aisle seat. Yeah, so i'd

436
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 5: be like cool upgrade. Yeah, exactly. So I want to

437
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 5: try it. I haven't tried it before, but I want

438
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 5: to try it because I want to see if it works.

439
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, should we.

440
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 5: I'm scared, I know, but like I'll I'll copy it

441
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 5: and I'll just sit in the middle seat if it doesn't.

442
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 5: But like, yeah, I just I saw that and I

443
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 5: was like, fuck, that's good because the person that was

444
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 5: doing it it worked once and then it didn't work,

445
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 5: and then I saw another one.

446
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 4: I'm off.

447
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 5: As you can tell, you're doing my tea talk research,

448
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 5: and it was to book an aisle seat so when

449
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 5: you get on last and you've got the ale seat,

450
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 5: you can see all the rows that are free and

451
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 5: just be like, can I have that one please place.

452
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 5: I've never had a whole row to myself me neither,

453
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 5: but one day.

454
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's also another tip as well. Just ask, yeah,

455
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: because we've had that in the past where it hasn't

456
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: necessarily worked out, but they do listen.

457
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, they go check for you.

458
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 4: But if you're in like.

459
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 2: A bad seat that's next to the toilet, or ye

460
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: are in the middle, or yeah it's you're in like

461
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: a three seater and you want to see if you

462
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: can get your.

463
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 3: Own road, just ask because all they can do is say.

464
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 4: No, exactly, okay.

465
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 5: Accommodation. Accommodation can potentially be the most expensive part of

466
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 5: an international trip, obviously depending on how you do it,

467
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 5: such as like staying in hostels and some potentially have

468
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 5: private rooms, which is good. Like I stayed in a

469
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 5: private room in a hostel and it was amazing. Yeah,

470
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 5: but it's kind of just like you got to see,

471
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 5: maybe it'll work out, maybe it won't.

472
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

473
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 2: And we had Cassidy on Cassidy Miguel Yeah last year,

474
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: and she was telling us about her euro trips and

475
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 2: giving us her solo trips specifically, and she was telling

476
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: us that a lot of the time, she would stay

477
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: hostels that were female only.

478
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 4: For security, but also she said.

479
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 2: That it was great because you made so many friends,

480
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: which is definitely a good tip if you're traveling alone.

481
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, there are definitely ways that you can do

482
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: hostels and it can be like a good experience.

483
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 3: However, if you are looking at.

484
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: Hostels, hotels, or airbnbs, there are a few different things

485
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: that you should look out for when you are booking

486
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: your accommodation before a holiday.

487
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: Number one reviews.

488
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: Look for consistencies across the different reviews, both good and bad.

489
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 3: I've been doing.

490
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: This a lot, especially with looking at potentially airbnbs for

491
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: Paris and paying attention to things like people talking about

492
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: the cleanliness of the airbnb, people talking about the proximity

493
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: to noise.

494
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: Noise is another big one.

495
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: Noises a big one, especially if it's on the ground

496
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: floor and you're staying in a busy place like Paris or.

497
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 5: London, and sometimes you just find deal breakers in there.

498
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 5: Like I was looking at an Airbnb and someone said

499
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 5: that the owner just like let themselves in because they

500
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 5: thought they were out, And I was like, you guys,

501
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 5: like that's going to be a null. Yeah, and like

502
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 5: obviously reviews, you can kind of read them and you

503
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 5: can kind of get the vibe because sometimes people have

504
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 5: a bad experience, have a bad experience, or they have

505
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 5: a different standard to you that like something that bothers

506
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 5: them might not necessarily bother you. Like I read one

507
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 5: and it was like it didn't have soy milk, and

508
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 5: they were really mad that didn't have soy milk.

509
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 4: And that's fine. They can be mad about that.

510
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 5: That's so fine, But like that wouldn't bother you. That

511
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 5: wouldn't bother me, And that probably wouldn't bother you either,

512
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 5: even know you do drink soy milk, Like you probably

513
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 5: wouldn't write a review about it. Yeah, But like what

514
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 5: I did write a review about was when I had

515
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 5: a flower bath and there were leeches in it.

516
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that wasn't good.

517
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: You know.

518
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 4: That's something that I did.

519
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 5: That's like the only review I've ever written out in

520
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 5: my life. And I spelt leech is wrong because you

521
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 5: were so I was so angling and I was like

522
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 5: and then I couldn't delete it, and I was like, oh,

523
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 5: I regretted it so much, but I was like, whatever,

524
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 5: there were leaders in my butt.

525
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: Ye, look at the reviews also look at the location,

526
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: because you typically want to make sure that your accommodation

527
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: is centrally located to all of the things that you

528
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: want to do.

529
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 4: Or at least close to public transport.

530
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 2: Whereas in the past we have booked accommodation based on

531
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: the budget and the rate for the night, and we

532
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 2: were like, oh, this is great, what a steal. And

533
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: then we've realized it was about forty minutes away from

534
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 2: the center of the city, which is where we were

535
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 2: going every single day, so we had to account in

536
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: not only the time but the cost of going there

537
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: via public transport or ubers, and we were like, yep,

538
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 2: we probably should have just splurged and stayed in the

539
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: city and we would have saved more money in the

540
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 2: long run.

541
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 5: And we were near public transport as well, so we

542
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 5: ended up paying like the difference in ubers. Yep, good time,

543
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 5: fucking dickheads. It was a lovely hotel though, oh it

544
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 5: was still a good it's a lovely stay, but I

545
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 5: was like, it's a factor in like forty minutes for

546
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 5: every activity too, and I was like, idiots. Yeah. And

547
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 5: then the last one was a little hot tip from

548
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 5: my mum who came over and kicked us up the

549
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 5: bum because she was like, have you guys planned your

550
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 5: trip and we're like, oh, yeah, we know kind of where.

551
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 5: And she was like, have you booked anything and we

552
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 5: were like, oh no, not yet and she was like,

553
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 5: you too need to sit down, and we got in

554
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 5: trouble from my mummy. But it's if you've ever booked

555
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 5: a hotel and like you look at the photos and

556
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 5: you're like, Wow, this hotel's amazing, and then you get

557
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 5: there and it's a bed and four walls, you're like,

558
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 5: what the fuck? Like it's literally a tuna tin can

559
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 5: and you're like.

560
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: How did this happen to me? Booped?

561
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 5: Yeah. So a little hack for booking your accommodation to

562
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 5: make sure you're not like staying in a shoe box

563
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 5: of a room is to look at the size, like

564
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 5: it actually will show you on sites to book accommodation

565
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 5: the square meter of the room. And so when you

566
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 5: go into the description, just look out for wherever it'll be.

567
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 5: It's normally around the top somewhere under description, and it'll

568
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 5: have like nineteen square meters, twenty five square meters, or

569
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 5: fourteen square meters, which that's when you're getting into.

570
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 4: Small room, cozy territory.

571
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 5: Room, Yeah, cozy room territory.

572
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 4: And I think then.

573
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 5: When we would look at reviews, we would see like

574
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 5: consistent reviews being like the room was quite small, the

575
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 5: room was quite small, like great location, really clean, room

576
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 5: was quite small, And then you go and look at

577
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 5: the size and it'll be like fourteen meters or something

578
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 5: like that, and you can see why that was a thing.

579
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 5: Versus then if you look and someone says, all the

580
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 5: room wasn't very big and it's twenty square meters, Yeah,

581
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 5: you're like, Okay, I know that's okay for me though,

582
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 5: So getting like a little good understanding of that and

583
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 5: checking that because the photos can.

584
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: Be a bit cheeky.

585
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they know what angles to work with to

586
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: make the room look bigger than it actually is.

587
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, definitely check that out.

588
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: Well that's a wrap on our secret Savvy travel tips.

589
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: But shall we move into advice with chicks? My partner

590
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 2: just broke up with me after being together for seventeen

591
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: years and since we were sixteen. How do I move

592
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: on and navigate this crazy dating world? Well, firstly, I

593
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: want to say I am so sorry to hear that

594
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: you're going through this that would be so so rough

595
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: because that is half your life basically that you've been

596
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 2: with this person, but you were still incredibly young, and

597
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: I just don't want you to think that like it's

598
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: too late or you know that there's not going to

599
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: be any opportunities.

600
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: Out there for you.

601
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: I think maybe take this time to focus on yourself

602
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: and enjoy being single and spending time alone and learning

603
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 2: about the things that you like to do alone, and

604
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: spending time with your friends and enjoying that for a

605
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: little bit, maybe before you jump into dating straight away,

606
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: because I think going from being with a long term

607
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: partner that you've been with since you were a teenager

608
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: into dating as somebody in their early thirties, I can

609
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: imagine it would be quite a shock. So it might

610
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: be a good idea to focus on yourself and ease into.

611
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 4: It a little bit. Yeah, I think that's created.

612
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: By We've also got a bunch of episodes on how
