In the middle of our travel season in Germany we are going to talk about \u201cCultural Expectations concerning travel\u201d.&nbsp;In this show, we will hear about different types of travellers or maybe even different cultures of travelling. Whichever type of traveller you are, holidays often take you out of your routines and comfort zone to test your flexibility. The guests we have for today\u2019s episode will share cultural insights that they had not expected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely crowded<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our first category, \u201cabsolutely crowded\u201d we listen to a conversation between Carlos and Shelbi about their expectations of London. Where do our cultural expectations about places we visit actually come from? From family and friends\u2019 experiences? From Films we have watched? Perhaps even from our Language Learning Books?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely memorable<br><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our second category, \u201cabsolutely memorable\u201d, we will listen to Shelbi who talks about her real experience in London and how her expectations were changed by reality even from the very start when she checked into her hostel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely unexpected<br><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our last story, \u201cabsolutely unexpected\u201d we hear from Carlos&nbsp; about his experiences in London. He shares how discovering something unplanned and unexpected during the trip made him enjoy his time even more. Carlos realized that with all our planning it is good to also leave some time unplanned just in case an unexpected opportunity presents itself.<\/p>\n<p>What about you? Have you ever traveled somewhere where you felt there was a cultural expectation that you have to tick off at least seven \u201cMust-Do\u2019s\u201d? Or do you sometimes prefer to travel without having expectations or a strict plan?
