WEBVTT - MINI! Mitch has thoughts on solo-traveling 🌎

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, Britt, Laura, and the nation. I need to address

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 1>you all because it's the topic on everyone's lips. Mitch,

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>how was your solo euro travel?

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:09.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh I'm so glad we're getting to the bottom of

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 2>that acause I did think when I work up this morning,

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>there is one question that everybody's asking.

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 3>How is Mitch's solo trip?

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:18.799
<v Speaker 4>I do genuinely want to know because I sort of

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.280
<v Speaker 4>sent you on your way. We spent the most beautiful

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 4>week of my life together overseas, Mitch, and then I

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 4>let you spread your wings like a peacock, and off

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 4>you flew into the world.

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 3>So I do want to know how it went.

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So if anyone's planning summer like trip in Europe

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's coming out of the winter month and going

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>into summer, this is good advice for you because I'm

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight, I'm single, I'm gay, and I'm like, I'm

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>going to go and have the time of my life

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>in Europe. And Laura, you said this to me. Britt,

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you said it to me. Every one of my friends

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.160
<v Speaker 1>said to me, You're gonna come back a different person.

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm being honest. I do not feel different at all.

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if I'm broken. I don't know

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:57.639
<v Speaker 1>if I solo traveled the wrong way broken, Mie. Now

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>that it's weird because when you go into something such

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>high expectations of change is imminent, you expect it. Like

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm not joking. There was one point where I was

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>on a bike. I had a bag it in a

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>basket on the front of a bike. I was riding

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>through the streets of Paris. I had just eaten a Panu.

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Chocolat, and You're like, it's going to hit me now.

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 3>I was looking at the Eiffel Tower. It was six

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 3>point thirty at night.

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 1>It just went flickering as it does, and I kind

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>of looked at it and I went, this is it.

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 3>The change is going to happen. And I kept looking

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 3>and I kind of cleanched. I gripped, like I's going

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 3>to hit hit you. I gripped the new bike and.

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Then a truck honked me and I had to move

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>off the side of the road because I veered in

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the middle and I didn't change at all.

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what, Mitch, though, I kind of feel

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 2>a little bit responsible for this, because I do think that,

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 2>like anything in life, when people set you up for

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 2>such high hopes and high expectations, you kind of only

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 2>can be disappointed. You go into it thinking, Oh, this

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>is going to be the thing that fixes everything, or

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be the life changing moment, the

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 2>catalyst for something new and different. Yeah, and at the

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, like it's okay that it's just

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 2>a holiday, you know, like I think maybe all the

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>people around you, me and Britt included, made you feel

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>like this was gonna be something that it just wasn't see.

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 4>I disagree. You say you don't think you say you

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 4>haven't changed me, You don't think you've changed. You might

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 4>not know it, but you one hundred percent have because

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 4>before this you didn't think you could be on your

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:17.799
<v Speaker 4>own and you didn't think you were going to be

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 4>able to do it. You were worried about how you

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 4>were going to navigate all these cities by yourself, and

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 4>now you've done it. So whether you know something has

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 4>changed within you or not, it definitely has. And I mean,

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 4>you don't give yourself enough credit. It took me three

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 4>years of traveling before I was like, oh I found myself.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 3>I get it.

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:33.679
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 3>You were three weeks.

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 4>So you can't expect to just go to Paris and

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 4>you're like.

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I'm eat, pray love here. I am.

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what I was expecting, but I was

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.519
<v Speaker 1>actually sad. Like I was messaging Laura going want to FaceTime?

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I was still going to britt I just left Britain.

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, do you want to FaceTime all my friends

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 1>back in Sydney. I think what I learned about myself,

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, that's true. This is a learning

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>that I had and I wouldn't have had this unless

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I had done it is that I like to travel

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and do things with other people.

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm a radio presenter, forget's sake, Like I

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:00.839
<v Speaker 3>like to talk.

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>You're an entertainer.

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I like to have people, So I guess that's

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 3>a learne.

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>But also Mitch, and I mean, this is a lesson

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>because I think in terms of you yourself, like over

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:12.079
<v Speaker 2>the past year from the Mittury that we met when

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 2>we very first started the pick up to where you

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 2>are now, Like the confidence you have in yourself, the

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.959
<v Speaker 2>assurance you have in yourself, like you are a completely

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 2>different person. And a year ago Mitchchery never would have

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>solo traveled. And the fact that you've even done it.

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 2>The fact that you even put yourself out of your

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 2>comfort zone discovered something that you maybe don't like and

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 2>don't want to do again.

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 3>That's fine. But I was walking up.

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:38.839
<v Speaker 4>To people, to strangers and hitting on them. Mitch would

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 4>have done.

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I did that in Glasgow, and I actually don't know

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>if he wanted a second date because the accent was

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>so thick.

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 3>I just ran off. I didn't know what it was.

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what.

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing more wanky than when someone comes back from

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 2>three weeks of traveling abroad and they gough the experience

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 2>changed my life. So I'm just glad that you're the

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 2>same person. Oh my god, it's the absolute worst of pits. Yeah,

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>or they go, oh, are you eating a panel of chocolate? Sorry,

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 2>chocolate croissant.

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I've been in Paris, so I used the French language

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>exactly
