Roam Light
by Amelie Chambord
Roam Light is a travel podcast about stories, lessons, people and unexpected moments we collect along the way. From my first solo light at 17 to military travel, studying abroad, backpacking through Europe, exploring Asia, and everything that went wonderfully right or hilariously wrong in between, I share real travel stories and what they taught me. We'll talk about packing light, planning itineraries, traveling on a budget, navigating unfamiliar places, meeting people across cultures, changing plans when necessary, and learning from the occasional travel disaster. Travel isn't where you go. Sometimes the best souvenirs are the stories you bring home, the friendships you make, and the lessons you never expected to learn. Pack what you need. Leave room for the unexpected. Roam light.

Episode 4 - My Free Flight to Australia Wasn’t Exactly First Class
What does a free flight to Australia actually cost? While I was stationed in Hawaii with the military, I had the opportunity to travel to Australia using Space-Available military travel, better known as Space-A. The airfare may have been free, but the experience came with a few catches: waiting…
