Travelling to participate in a sporting event is a niche reason to travel that a surprisingly large number of travel lovers have experienced during their loves, and I love the unique benefits and fun of trips for sport.
\\nIn Episode 238 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast I speak with three people who\'ve travelled for a wide variety of sporting reasons.
\\nFirst up, I chat with Tim Tricker who has had many short trips to interesting destinations across Europe to take part in darts tournaments. I love that he gets to see out of the way places and congregate with a bunch of like-minded people.
\\nEugene Devereux has travelled for a much more physical sport - adventure races. He\'s been able to combine this physical experience with exploring some particularly beautiful parts of Ireland.
\\nFinally, I speak to Emma Lovell who was lucky enough to experience the joy of travelling in a sporting team as a teenager when she toured New Zealand playing water polo. The change to meet local people and then attempt to beat them at water polo sounds like lots of fun!
