E41 | Why do I find holidaying so stressful? Travelling with AuDHD

What you'll learn

Holidays and travel are often presented as relaxing experiences, but for many people they can be surprisingly exhausting.

In this episode, the hosts explore why travelling can feel overwhelming for people with AuDHD (Autism + ADHD), discussing topics such as disrupted routines, sensory overload, masking, decision-making and the pressure to make the most of every trip.

Why we recommend it

Most travel content focuses on destinations, itineraries and logistics. This episode focuses on something just as important: how travelling can actually feel.

If you've ever returned from a holiday feeling more exhausted than refreshed, this conversation may help explain why.

Although this episode is centred on AuDHD, many of the experiences discussed—such as balancing adventure with rest, managing sensory input and coping with constant change—may resonate with a much wider audience.
