Coronavirus Complications with Becky Sampson

In this bonus episode, I catch-up with Becky Sampson. Four months after our initial conversation, coronavirus has changed plans for many. Becky tells me how it affected her round-the-world trip.

In today's episode we talk about:

  • Walking the Coast to Coast Track in Australia - in 9 days!

  • Taking epilepsy medication across international borders

  • The limits on anti-seizure medication for long journeys

  • The unwanted side-effects of Sodium Valporate

  • Seeing orangutans in Sumatra

  • Being surrounded by monkeys in Angkor Wat without tourists

  • Deciding whether to come back to the UK because of coronavirus

  • Struggling to be repatriated

  • Flying over the mountains in Cambodia

  • Planning hikes in the UK

  • Plus, what does 'adventure' mean to Becky?

Seize Your Adventure
Seize Your Adventure
Seize Your Adventure is a multi-tool: a great adventure podcast that is also an epilepsy podcast.
From long-distance hikes in Europe to skiing in snowstorms, the storytelling episodes share life-changing journeys and the smaller moments spent between seizures.
The ‘chats’ with guests dive into the deeper stuff, the hidden aspects of taking on adventures with epilepsy - from carrying medication in a backpack, to assessing seizure risks in the wilderness and recognising limitations.
Plus we investigate the perceptions of epilepsy in society and the adventure community.
