A Romantic Travel Surprise… at a Military Base | Sam Liu

from The Funny Travel Stories Podcast · host Yi Ping Bao

In this episode, I’m joined by Sam Liu - founder of TechStart and Director of West London Chambers of Commerce - whose life has been shaped by travelling across London, Brazil, Hong Kong, and Taiwan… and moving to the UK so young at the time he only knew how to say “pee-pee” and “poo-poo.”Sam shares some brilliant travel stories, including a failed attempt to surprise his girlfriend in Brazil, getting a completely genuine response when travelling back to Taiwan for the first time, and taking a group of Germans to Green Island - where they happily stayed through a typhoon because there were no tourists.We also talk about why Sam avoids night markets, why networking really matters, and how he’s helping young people run an event at places like the Old Bailey. Also, his travel recommendations in Brazil - and the places he still wants to explore next, from Qingdao to Luoyang.
