REVISITED IN 2026 - Episode 2 - One Week In Lub D, Bangkok, Thailand - Thoughts From My Trip To Bangkok In 2025 vs 2013 Experience

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 23:35:00 -0400

REVISITING Episode 2 - One Week In Lub D, Bangkok, Thailand.

🇹🇭 Bangkok Then vs My Trip in December 2025

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I go back to where it all began—Bangkok, Thailand. Originally recorded as Episode 2 in 2021, this was my first real taste of long-term travel back in 2013, stepping into Southeast Asia with no expectations, no real plan, and honestly, no idea what I was getting myself into.

Fast forward to 2025, I’ve returned to Bangkok after over a decade of travel experience, and everything feels different—yet strangely familiar. In this revisit, I break down eight defining moments from that original trip, from hostel life and street food discoveries to tuk-tuk scams, cultural landmarks, and some uncomfortable travel lessons that shaped how I explore the world today.

This episode is a mix of nostalgia, honest reflection, and practical insight for anyone planning their first trip to Bangkok—or looking back on how travel has changed over time.

You’ll hear what Bangkok was like before smartphones dominated travel, how the backpacker scene has evolved, and whether the city's chaos, charm, and magic still holds up in 2025.

Bangkok always holds a special place in my heart, thanks to the truly breathtaking experiences I had there and, more importantly, to the great people I met. My trip in 2025 was a completely different type of trip, but I still loved visiting this great city, which I call my favourite, and it still is that for sure!

A note to add, this is not a PC episode from 2021, so there are some grim stories and terms in there, but this is to share all of my experiences as they happened in 2013. I didn't want to sugarcoat the experience. I also cringe at the older episodes of Winging It and have done my best to clean up the audio and take out the gaps but it is all part of the podcasting journey.

IMMERSIVE Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan: A Typical Day Exploring In Bhutan + Trip Summary 🇧🇹

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:30:00 -0400

What does a day in Bhutan actually sound like?

In this immersive episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I take you through a full day exploring the Kingdom of Bhutan—from peaceful sunrise views over Thimphu to the powerful sounds of monks in morning ritual, vibrant Himalayan festivals, and unforgettable Bhutanese cuisine.

You’ll experience Bhutan through raw, unfiltered audio: chanting monks at Gangtey Monastery, sizzling local dishes, bustling festival energy, and the quiet calm of a sunset hike through the valleys.

This is more than a travel episode—it’s a sensory journey into one of the most unique and culturally rich countries in the world.

If you’re planning a Bhutan trip, curious about Bhutanese culture, or just want to escape through sound, this episode will transport you straight into the heart of the Himalayas.

Expect monasteries, mountains, local food, art, culture, and real on-the-ground reactions throughout.

Where to Stay in Vancouver for the FIFA World Cup 2026: 8 Best Areas Near BC Place (A Local’s Guide)

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 01:15:00 -0400

Planning to visit Vancouver for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and wondering where to stay? In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I share a local’s guide to the 8 best areas to base yourself during the tournament.

Having lived in Vancouver for nearly seven years, I break down the pros, cons, transport links, and overall vibe of each neighbourhood so you can decide which one suits your travel style.

From beach neighbourhoods like Kitsilano and the relaxed waterfront of Olympic Village, to nightlife hubs like Yaletown and historic Gastown, you’ll get a clear idea of where to stay depending on what kind of World Cup trip you want.

I also cover scenic options across the water like North Vancouver and West Vancouver, perfect if you want mountain views, beaches, and a quieter base while still being able to reach the games at BC Place.

Along the way I share local transport tips, accommodation ideas, neighbourhood highlights, and activities you shouldn’t miss in each area.

Whether you're visiting for the World Cup or planning a future trip, this episode will help you choose the best neighbourhood to stay in Vancouver.

Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan: My Bhutan Travel Guide: Days 8-11, Travelling Solo, Flight to Bangkok With The Royal Family, Costs & Final Thoughts

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 00:10:00 -0400

Bhutan Travel Guide: Days 8-11, Travelling Solo, Flight To Bangkok With The Royal Family, Costs & Final Thoughts

In this penultimate episode of my Bhutan Series on Winging It, I wrap up my 11-day trip to Bhutan and share my final experiences exploring Thimphu and Paro, plus my biggest takeaways from travelling through one of the most fascinating countries in the world.

After originally planning a trek in the Haa Valley, I changed my itinerary and spent my final days wandering Bhutan’s capital Thimphu, experiencing Bhutan’s National Day celebrations, visiting local cafés, exploring markets, and eventually heading to Paro for my final night before flying back to Bangkok. I also give an idea of what budget day-to-day life is like when travelling solo in Bhutan.

Along the way I stayed in luxury glamping tents in hills of Paro, met incredible locals, and had an unexpected moment on my flight to Bangkok when I discovered the King and Queen of Bhutan were on the same plane. I managed to speak to one of their closest advisors during the flight, which was a very interesting chat indeed!

To wrap up the series, I also share my favourite experiences in Bhutan, practical Bhutan travel tips, what it actually costs to visit Bhutan, and advice for anyone planning their own trip to the Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon.

If you're wondering how to visit Bhutan, what an itinerary looks like, or whether Bhutan is worth visiting, this episode brings together everything I learned from my time there.

Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan: Days 4–7 - Druk Wangyal Festival, Punakha Dzong + Phobjikha Valley

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 01:30:00 -0400

Bhutan Itinerary Days 4–7: Druk Wangyel Festival, Punakha Dzong + Phobjikha Valley

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I continue my Bhutan travel series covering Days 4–7 of my guided journey through one of the most unique and spiritual countries in the world.

These were some of the most immersive days of the entire trip.

It begins high in the mountains at the Druk Wangyel Festival, held annually at Dochula Pass. Surrounded by 108 chortens and Himalayan peaks, this patriotic festival honours Bhutan’s Fourth King and celebrates peace, unity, and national identity. Wearing the traditional Bhutanese gho, I experienced mass dances, military performances, storytelling, and a powerful display of modern Bhutanese culture.

From there, we descend into the warmer Punakha Valley — home to the breathtaking Punakha Dzong, one of Bhutan’s most important historical and spiritual landmarks. Built in 1637 at the meeting point of two rivers, this former capital remains a living monastery and royal ceremonial site — and yes, it’s where Bhutan’s King and Queen were married.

I also hike to the hilltop temple Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten, walk through rural villages to reach the famous fertility temple Chimi Lhakhang, and cross the swaying Punakha Suspension Bridge with dramatic valley views below.

One of the most special experiences? Staying in a traditional Bhutanese homestay — helping churn butter, cooking local dishes, and learning about family history in a farmhouse perched above the valley.

The journey then takes me east into the stunning Phobjikha Valley, often called the “Switzerland of Bhutan” for its wide glacial landscape and alpine feel. Here, I overnight at Gangtey Monastery, witness an emotional end-of-year monk ceremony, and experience Bhutan’s spiritual depth in complete silence — and freezing temperatures.

Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan: A Traditional Homestay in Bhutan - Interview with the owner Ama Om (Ama Om's Homestay)

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 00:30:00 -0400

What is it really like to stay in a traditional homestay in Bhutan?

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I’m coming to you from rural Bhutan, where I sit down with Ama Om — the owner of a traditional Bhutanese homestay located in a small village outside Punakha. With the help of a translator, Ama Om shares her life story and what it truly means to welcome travellers into her home.

Ama Om has been hosting guests for over a decade, offering far more than just accommodation. We talk about daily village life in Bhutan, balancing farming with tourism, cooking traditional food, caring for animals, and preserving a way of life that’s slowly disappearing due to modernisation.

This conversation explores Bhutanese Buddhist beliefs, especially the idea of karmic connections — the belief that people don’t arrive in our lives by accident. Ama Om explains why hosting guests brings her so much joy and why she believes homestays offer the most authentic way to experience Bhutanese culture.

You’ll also hear about:

What daily life in a rural Bhutanese village looks like
Why homestays are important for local livelihoods in Bhutan
Traditional Bhutanese food, farming, and household skills
Hot stone baths, milking cows, making cheese, and cooking together
Why staying outside cities like Thimphu and Paro offers a deeper travel experience

You might notice my voice is a little rough in this episode — I was battling a cough and cold during the recording — but this story was far too special not to share.

If you’re planning a trip to Bhutan, curious about authentic travel experiences, or interested in staying in a traditional homestay, this episode offers a rare and honest insight into rural Bhutanese life and the people who make it unforgettable.

🔗 More information about Ama Om’s Homestay

You’ll find links to the homestay below in the show notes. If you’d like to add this experience to your Bhutan itinerary, booking through Breathe Bhutan and requesting Ama Om’s homestay is the best way to do it.

This entire journey through Bhutan was made possible by Breathe Bhutan, who created an incredible, deeply immersive itinerary that allowed me to experience the country far beyond the surface.

My 10 Lowest Moments On My Travels So Far

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 19:24:00 -0400

My Top 10 Lowest Moments On My Travels So Far

Travel isn’t always sunsets, summit views, and perfect Instagram moments — and in this episode, I get honest about the other side of life on the road.

Before diving in, I acknowledge just how much of a privilege travel is, especially in a world where many people face conflict, instability, and restrictions on movement. This episode isn’t about criticising countries, cultures, or places — it’s about the very human moments that unfold while traveling.

From getting violently sick at sacred sites, to terrifying border crossings, brutal overnight bus rides, running out of money abroad, and nearly dehydrating in the desert, I share ten of the lowest — and often unintentionally funny — moments I’ve experienced so far.

Some of these stories are uncomfortable, some are reflective, and others are light-hearted in hindsight. But all of them highlight a truth we don’t talk about enough: travel doesn’t always go to plan, and sometimes the hardest moments become the best stories later on.

If you’ve ever had a trip go sideways, questioned why you’re doing this at all, or found yourself laughing through the chaos — this one’s for you.

Let me know what your lowest moments have been.

IMMERSIVE - Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan: A Day in Bhutan - The Druk Wangyel Festival, Traditional Villages and Chimi Lhakhang Temple

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:30:00 -0400

In this episode, I take you along for one unforgettable day in Bhutan that perfectly captures the country’s culture, spirituality, and everyday life.

The day begins dressed in a traditional gho before heading high into the Himalayas for the Druk Wangyel Festival at Dochula Pass. With clear skies, snow-capped peaks in the background, and vibrant performances by the Royal Bhutan Army, this festival is one of Bhutan’s most visually striking and patriotic celebrations.

After the festival, we descend into the Punakha Valley, stopping for lunch before setting off on a walk through authentic Bhutanese countryside. This walk takes us through Sopsokha Village and Teopronghu Village, passing rice paddies, prayer flags, family homes, and locals going about their daily lives — offering a real glimpse into rural Bhutan away from the usual tourist trail.

The walk ends at Chimi Lhakhang, also known as the Fertility Temple, dedicated to the legendary Drukpa Kunley, the “Divine Madman.” While often misunderstood for its playful symbolism, this sacred site is deeply spiritual and an important place of faith for Bhutanese people, set against stunning views of the Punakha Valley.

To end the day, I arrive at a hilltop hotel overlooking the Punakha Dzong, watching it transition from daylight to night — a quiet, reflective moment after a day full of colour, culture, and connection.

This episode blends immersive sounds, personal reflections, and on-the-ground experiences to give you a true sense of what a day in Bhutan feels like — from high-altitude festivals to peaceful village life.

Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan - Interview with a Nun at Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Nunnery - Life as a Buddhist Nun in Modern Bhutan

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 15:20:00 -0400

Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan Interview with Nun at Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Nunnery - Life as a Buddhist Nun in Modern Bhutan

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I visit Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Nunnery, an all-female Buddhist nunnery located above the Punakha Valley in Bhutan. This episode offers a rare look into the lives of Buddhist nuns and the important role this nunnery plays in supporting women within Bhutan’s monastic system.

Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Nunnery was established to provide both religious and practical education to nuns from across Bhutan, many of whom come from rural and remote regions. Alongside intensive training in Buddhist philosophy, meditation, chanting, and ritual practices, the nuns also study English, computer skills, and vocational crafts—helping prepare them for life both within and beyond the monastery.

During my visit, the nunnery was preparing for final examinations, offering a unique insight into the academic structure of monastic life. You’ll also hear immersive background sounds from the nunnery itself, adding context to the daily rhythm of study, prayer, and discipline.

Following the introduction, I share a 10-minute interview with one of the resident nuns, conducted in English. In our conversation, she explains her daily routine, what she has studied over the years, her perspective on Buddhism in Bhutan, and what life looks like after completing the nine-year monastic education. She also shares why visitors should take the time to visit Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Nunnery and one key idea from Buddhism that she believes everyone should understand.

This episode offers a thoughtful, grounded look at female monastic life in modern Bhutan, blending spiritual insight with real-world structure and purpose.

🎧 If Bhutan has ever been on your travel radar, this series will show you why it deserves to be.

This entire journey through Bhutan was made possible by Breathe Bhutan, who created an incredible, deeply immersive itinerary that allowed me to experience the country far beyond the surface.

16 Places I Can’t Stop Thinking About Travelling To Right Now

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 20:44:00 -0400

After experiencing Bhutan — a destination that sat at the very top of my travel list for years — I found myself in an unexpected place. Not rushing to plan the next trip, not chasing the next highlight, but sitting in a quiet lull and asking myself a simple question: what places won’t leave my mind now?

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I share 16 places I can’t stop thinking about travelling to right now — not as a bucket list, not as recommendations, but as an honest reflection on how travel inspiration shifts over time.

Some of these destinations are familiar and grounding. Others are remote, challenging, or expansive in ways that feel both exciting and intimidating. From places shaped by silence and space, to cultures that feel like crossroads, to one destination that represents a deep exhale after years of movement, this episode explores why certain places keep calling — even when you’re not ready to book a flight.

Rather than counting down landmarks, I talk candidly about:

What draws people to these places in the first place
Why they keep resurfacing in my mind
How travel motivation changes after a trip that truly delivers

This is a reflective, solo episode for travellers who’ve ever finished a big trip and thought, “What now?”

🎧 Expect honest reasoning, personal perspective, and a reminder that travel inspiration doesn’t always arrive as urgency — sometimes it arrives as a quiet pull.

Teasers (Use One or Two Anywhere)

One place on this list surprised me by how familiar it feels, even though I’ve never been
There’s a destination here people visit for luxury — but that’s not why it’s calling me
A road trip idea that’s less about distance and more about time and light
And the number one place? It represents something very different than adventure

Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan - Days 1–3: Everest Views, Sand Mandala Art, Epic Walks & Breakfast with a Lama

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 23:21:00 -0400

Solo Episode - Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan - Days 1–3: Everest Views, Sand Mandala Art, Epic Walks & A Breakfast with a Lama

In this solo episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I take you through Days 1 to 3 of my journey in Bhutan, sharing the sounds, stories, and real travel context behind one of the world’s most fascinating destinations.

From the unforgettable flight into Paro Airport with Himalayan views stretching all the way to Mount Everest, to my first encounters with Bhutanese food, culture, and daily life — this episode is designed to give you a true sense of what it feels like to arrive and begin travelling in Bhutan.

I break down how travel in Bhutan actually works, including flights, visas, costs, accommodation standards, weather in December, and why guided travel is essential to experiencing the country properly. You’ll hear about traditional sand mandala art, gentle acclimatisation walks through the Paro Valley, and the rhythm of life in Bhutan’s cities and temples.

The episode finishes with one of the most memorable moments of the trip: breakfast at a hilltop temple overlooking Thimphu called Wangditse Lhakhang, followed by a translated conversation with a Bhutanese lama, where we talk about happiness, belief, spirituality, and life in Bhutan today. A cool way to finish the episode!

This is an audio-only episode built to let your imagination do the work — placing you right there through natural sound, reflection, and honest storytelling.

In this episode, I also mention the two accommodations I stayed at, called Tiger's Nest Camp and Access Suites Hotel, both of which were fantastic!

All in all, this is a classic episode to break down my first three days in Bhutan. For more information on Tiger's Nest, check out my immersive episode on the hike below.

Bhutanese happiness and contentment
Spirituality in the modern world
His perspective on belief and non-belief

IMMERSIVE – Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan – Hiking to Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) - EPIC

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 23:30:00 -0400

IMMERSIVE – Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan – Hiking to Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) EPIC

In this immersive, audio-only episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I take you with me as I hike to Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) in Bhutan — one of the most iconic and spiritual hikes in the world.

This episode starts early in the morning in Paro, with pre-hike nerves, breakfast, and my first distant glimpse of Tiger’s Nest clinging to the mountainside. From there, we journey to the trailhead and begin the steady uphill climb through pine forests, open valleys, and sweeping mountain views.

As I hike, I share real-time reactions, heavy breathing, and honest reflections as the monastery slowly reveals itself through the trees. About halfway up, I stop at the famous café for a much-needed coffee — and the first truly jaw-dropping view of Tiger’s Nest sitting impossibly in the distance, tucked into the mountains.

From there, the trail continues toward the most iconic viewpoints on the hike, where the scale of the monastery really sinks in. I take you to the famous photo spots before descending hundreds of steps, crossing bridges and waterfalls, and finally entering the temple itself.

Inside Tiger’s Nest, there are no cameras — only flickering butter lamps, chanting monks, incense in the air, and a deep sense of stillness. I reflect on what it felt like to experience the monastery without distractions, and why this hike is considered one of the most unforgettable experiences in Bhutan.

The episode finishes with the walk back down to the parking lot, lunch in Paro, practical hiking tips, and reflections on why Tiger’s Nest isn’t just something you visit — it’s something you feel.

This episode is part of my Bhutan Series, recorded while travelling with Breathe Bhutan, a locally owned tour company creating immersive, meaningful journeys across Bhutan.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to hike to Tiger’s Nest Monastery, this episode is for you.

🎒If this episode sparks your imagination and makes you want to visit Bhutan, you won’t regret it.

Across the Bhutan Series, you’ll hear:

Conversations with local Bhutanese voices
Immersive episodes on hiking, culture, food, and daily life
Solo breakdowns explaining how travel in Bhutan actually works

This is not just a travel podcast episode — it’s an invitation to slow down, listen, and understand Bhutan on a deeper level.

🎧 If Bhutan has ever been on your travel radar, this series will show you why it deserves to be.

This entire journey through Bhutan was made possible by Breathe Bhutan, who created an incredible, deeply immersive itinerary that allowed me to experience the country far beyond the surface. From meeting local families to having honest conversations like this one, their focus on authentic, responsible, and meaningful travel is something I’ll be showcasing throughout this series.

Thanks & Credits

Huge thanks to Breathe Bhutan for creating an authentic, culture-focused itinerary and making experiences like this possible during the first days of my journey. Also, thanks to Tourism Bhutan for hosting me on this trip and making it possible.

Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan - A Conversation with Ugyen Rinzin - Bhutan's History, Buddhism Basics + Modern Bhutanese Culture

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 00:30:00 -0400

Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan - A Conversation with Ugyen Rinzin - Bhutan's History, Buddhism Basics + Modern Bhutanese Culture

In this opening episode of my Bhutan Series, I sit down for a deep, thoughtful conversation with Ugyen Rinzin, a Bhutanese local from Paro, to explore the heart and soul of one of the world’s most fascinating countries.

Recorded in Thimphu, Bhutan, this episode is a beginner-friendly introduction to Bhutan’s history, Buddhist philosophy, and modern Bhutanese culture, told through the lived experience of someone who grew up before television and the internet arrived in the country.

We unpack what makes Bhutan so unique — from its deep-rooted connection to Buddhism, its people-first philosophy, and the idea of Gross National Happiness, to how the younger generation is navigating a rapidly changing world.

If you’ve ever wondered:

What is Bhutan really like?
How does Buddhism shape everyday life in Bhutan?
Why is Bhutan considered one of the most meaningful travel destinations on Earth?

— this episode is the perfect place to start.

Across the Bhutan Series, you’ll hear:

Conversations with local Bhutanese voices
Immersive episodes on hiking, culture, food, and daily life
Solo breakdowns explaining how travel in Bhutan actually works

This is not just a travel podcast episode — it’s an invitation to slow down, listen, and understand Bhutan on a deeper level.

My 2025 Review of My Travels, Winging It, Personal Goals + What Is To Come in 2026

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 21:57:00 -0400

My 2025 Review of My Travels, Winging It, Personal Goals + What Is To Come in 2026.

In this bonus New Year’s Day episode of Winging It, I’m taking a deep dive into my 2025 travel year, the evolution of the podcast, and what’s coming next in 2026.

I break down the numbers behind my travels — 22 flights, 90,000km flown, nine countries, three new destinations — but more importantly, I reflect on the moments that shaped me as a traveller and storyteller. From seeing wild elephants in India to sharing breakfast with a Bhutanese monk overlooking Thimphu, this episode is about perspective, purpose, and how travel changes over time.

I also open up about the realities of running a long-form travel podcast, including burnout, why I’m stepping back from guest-heavy interviews, and why immersive, sound-rich storytelling is where Winging It is heading next.

If you’re interested in slow vs purposeful travel, how travel content is evolving, or what it’s really like to juggle full-time work with global adventures, this episode pulls the curtain back.

In this episode, I talk about:

My full 2025 travel recap across Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America
Why Bhutan was my favourite country and Bangkok my favourite city
The most surreal travel moment of my life (and why it changed me)
What I learned after releasing 57 podcast episodes in one year
Why immersive travel podcasts matter more than ever
How travel priorities shift as you get older
The behind-the-scenes reality of podcasting, pitching, and guest fatigue
Becoming a dual UK–Canadian citizen and what that means for future travel
A full preview of my Bhutan podcast series is coming in 2026
Upcoming trips, travel ideas, and where Winging It is heading next

This episode is part travel reflection, part creator reality check, and part forward-looking roadmap for anyone who loves meaningful, honest travel stories.

🎧 Next up: the first episode in my immersive Bhutan series, recorded on location in Thimphu.

Ep 192 w/ Melissa Rodway (Fly Travel Radio) - The People You Meet While Travelling: Melissa on Stories, Meaning & Modern Travel

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 00:30:00 -0400

Ep 192 w/ Melissa Rodway (Fly Travel Radio) - The People You Meet While Travelling: Melissa on Stories, Meaning & Modern Travel

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I’m joined by fellow traveller, podcaster, and author Melissa Rodway for a deep, honest, and refreshingly real conversation about travel, purpose, and why simply “wandering” isn’t always enough anymore.

Melissa shares how her early travels — including growing up in Australia, moving across Canada, and later long-term adventures — shaped her outlook on life. We talk about why travel doesn’t magically fix everything, how purpose can completely change the way you experience a place, and what happens when the romantic idea of endless travel meets real life, work, and money.

We also dive into:

Why having a reason to travel matters more as you get older
The myth that travel automatically transforms you
How Melissa’s book The People You Meet was born from long bus rides and storytelling
Group travel vs solo travel — and why both still matter
Why freedom is such a powerful (and addictive) part of travel
How travel changes your relationship with yourself, not just the world

This is an episode for travellers who’ve felt restless on the road, questioned the “quit your job and go” narrative, or wondered how to keep travel meaningful long-term. There are plenty of laughs, reflections, and moments that’ll make you rethink how — and why — you travel.

Ep 191 w/ Mark Phipps (Lost In Paradise Travel) – Off-Grid Mongolia & Southwest Africa: Reindeer Tribes, Wild Roads & Namibia Safaris

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 00:30:00 -0400

Ep 191 w/ Mark Phipps (Lost In Paradise Travel) – Off-Grid Mongolia & Southwest Africa: Reindeer Tribes, Wild Roads & Namibia Safaris

In this week's episode, I'm rejoined by Mark Phipps—author, avid traveller and owner of Lost in Paradise Travel—who returns with stories from two incredible journeys: a solo winter adventure to Mongolia and an epic three-week road trip through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. This conversation is packed with logistics, unforgettable moments and plenty of wanderlust-inducing content that should seriously inspire your next big trip.

We start with Mongolia, where Mark travelled completely solo during peak winter, experiencing minus eight degree temperatures and some of the most remote, off-grid travel you can imagine. He walks us through the entire journey—from a twelve-hour overnight bus from Ulaanbaatar to the northern town of Moron, then an eight-hour bone-rattling ride in a Soviet-era four-by-four across frozen rivers and dirt tracks with no signposts, before finally reaching the Dukha reindeer herders on the back of a reindeer itself. Mark spent two nights living with this semi-nomadic tribe just sixty-five kilometres from the Russian border, sleeping in traditional Gers, observing their daily life and experiencing one of the last truly authentic travel adventures left in the world. He shares what it's like to communicate with zero shared language, the food they eat, the spiritual connection to their reindeer, and why this trip requires permits, patience and a serious sense of adventure.

From there, Mark takes us through central Mongolia—visiting Karakorum, the ancient capital under Genghis Khan, hiking in Khustai National Park to see wild horses roaming the steppes, and exploring the Mini Gobi with its massive sand dunes and shaggy Bactrian camels. He breaks down the logistics too: how to book buses when systems are old-school, why you need to work with local guesthouses, what it costs to hire a guide, and why Mongolia is one of those rare places where independent travel still feels properly wild.

Then we shift continents entirely. Mark recounts an unforgettable three-week road trip with five friends across Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe—all done independently with rented four-by-fours and rooftop tents. He describes climbing the massive sand dunes of Sossusvlei, staying in open-air treehouses perched over rivers with hippos audible from bed, and driving deep into the Okavango Delta to witness Botswana's incredible elephant population up close. But the real highlight? Camping on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans—a vast, otherworldly expanse where they drove wherever they wanted, watched the sun go down, cracked open beers around a fire and experienced the clearest view of the Milky Way Mark has ever seen. It's one of those moments he describes as truly once-in-a-lifetime.

Mark also shares practical advice throughout: the best time of year to visit for wildlife (September to October), what to expect from border crossings, why you should let your tyre pressure down on the salt flats, and the mantra their safari guide lived by—"What nature provides, you will receive." It's a reminder that patience and flexibility are just as important as planning when it comes to African travel.

Finally, we dive into Lost in Paradise Travel, Mark's new venture. After his friend had her passport stolen in Budapest on New Year's Day—completely disrupting their trip—Mark created a GPS-enabled passport wallet that connects to your iPhone's Find My app. It's trackable, has an audible alarm, protects your passport cover and holds all your travel documents in one place. He explains why passport loss is such a recurring problem in the travel industry, how much disruption it causes, and why this simple solution could save your next trip. Pre-orders are live now at lostinparadisetravel.com, with the first shipment arriving in time for Christmas.

This episode is perfect for anyone dreaming of Mongolia, planning an African road trip or simply craving stories that remind you why travel is worth the effort. Mark is a fantastic storyteller with years of experience, and by the end of this conversation you'll be itching to book something adventurous.

Exploring Queensland, Australia: Brisbane Highlights, Hiking In The Glass House Mountains & Noosa Paradise

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 08:46:00 -0400

Exploring Queensland, Australia: Brisbane Highlights, Hiking In The Glass House Mountains & Noosa Paradise

In this episode, I take you through my eight-day adventure across Queensland after flying in from Vancouver—so expect heat, humidity, stories, and plenty of tips. I start off in Brisbane, where I break down how I navigated the city, the unbelievable 50-cent public transport system, the places I stayed, and all the cafés, restaurants and viewpoints that made the trip so memorable.

I share my favourite Brisbane moments, from wandering along South Bank and relaxing at the city beach to heading up the Skydeck for those incredible 360° views. I also talk about my day trip to the Glass House Mountains—how to get there cheaply, what the Mount Ngungun hike was like, and why I nearly abseiled off a 40-metre cliff (but absolutely bottled it at the last second!).

Then I head up the Sunshine Coast to revisit Noosa more than a decade after I first saw it—this time with money in my pocket. I chat through the coastal walk to Hell’s Gates, spotting dolphins, hanging out on those stunning beaches, exploring Noosaville’s cafés, and soaking up that paradise vibe that Noosa does so well.

And of course, I couldn’t be in Brisbane without going to the Ashes. I dive into the experience of watching England get absolutely battered at the Gabba, what it’s like attending a day–night Test, and the special moment of seeing Joe Root finally score a hundred in Australia.

Whether you’re planning a trip to Brisbane, thinking about exploring Noosa, or just love hearing travel stories from the road, this episode is packed with tips, experiences and a few classic mishaps along the way.

What I cover:

Where I stayed in Brisbane & why it was great value
My favourite cafés, restaurants and rooftop spots
What to do around South Bank & the CBD
How I reached the Glasshouse Mountains for only 50 cents
Hiking Mount Ngungun & my failed abseiling attempt
My full breakdown of Noosa: beaches, walks, cafés & transport
What it’s like attending an Ashes match at the Gabba
Daily budgeting, weather tips & what to expect in summer

Ep 190 w/ Dave Seminara - Inside South Africa, Lesotho & Eswatini: Dave’s Ultimate African Adventure Guide

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:30:00 -0400

Ep 190 w/ Dave Seminara - Inside South Africa, Lesotho & Eswatini: Dave’s Ultimate African Adventure Guide

In this week’s episode, I sit down once again with writer, journalist, YouTuber and seasoned traveller Dave Seminara, who has just returned from an epic journey across South Africa, Eswatini and Lesotho. This conversation dives deep into one of the most fascinating regions on the planet, and Dave takes us right into the heart of it—through national parks, vibrant townships, mountain kingdoms and some unforgettable encounters along the way.

We start in Cape Town, where Dave shares his experience navigating one of the world’s most spectacular cities, from its dramatic geography and unpredictable weather to the realities of inequality and the history woven into its suburbs. He takes us for a raw and honest look at the Cape Flats, where he met community leaders working to interrupt gang violence and support local youth. It’s eye-opening, powerful and adds an important layer to any understanding of South Africa.

From there, Dave describes the magic of going on safari for the first time, including what it’s like to stay on a restored luxury train in Kruger National Park, the thrill of spotting wildlife up close, and why safari is both the most rewarding and unpredictable style of travel. He shares practical tips on budget, expectations and what to do when your game drive luck runs cold. We also talk about the difference between national parks and private game reserves, the food (which sounds absolutely unbelievable), and the guides who bring the whole experience to life.

Dave then takes us into the Drakensberg Mountains for hikes, ancient Bushmen rock art and one of the most unique lodge stays he’s ever experienced. And of course, we cross borders into Eswatini and Lesotho, exploring the logistics, the culture and why both mini-kingdoms are absolutely worth adding to any Southern Africa itinerary.

This episode is packed with insights for anyone dreaming of Africa, planning a first visit or simply curious about what travel looks like beyond the iconic highlights. Dave brings his humour, honesty and deep curiosity, and by the end you’ll understand why this trip made him rethink his entire travel focus.

If you enjoy the episode, please rate and review the podcast on your favourite app and subscribe on YouTube—every bit of support helps the show grow. You can also fuel the podcast at buymeacoffee.com/wingingit to support the production of these weekly stories. And of course, share the episode with a friend who’s dreaming of an African adventure.

REVISITED in 2025 - Episode 5 - To Travel Solo Or Not?

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 00:30:00 -0400

REVISITED in 2025 - Episode 5 - To Travel Solo Or Not?

In this episode, I go back to one of the earliest recordings I ever released on the Winging It Travel Podcast. My original episode, To Travel Solo or Not, captured a moment when I was still finding my voice, building the show from my bedroom, and trying to make sense of my own travel experiences. Now, years later, I’m revisiting those stories with fresh eyes.

I take you through some of the pivotal solo travel moments that shaped who I am as a traveller today — from navigating Bolivia on my own after a last-minute change of plans, to driving around Antigua as the only tourist in sight, to the chaotic hostel scenes in Puerto Rico where life happened right in front of me. I also look back on the randomness of meeting a QPR legend in St. Kitts, getting stranded in Toronto with no way out, and being rescued by a friend I’d met years earlier on the road.

These stories reminded me why solo travel can be so powerful. It gives you freedom, vulnerability, unexpected friendships, and moments of real growth. But I also talk honestly about the challenges — the loneliness, the missteps, the uncertainty — and how I see those experiences differently now in 2025.

I also reflect on how travelling with friends and partners has shaped me, and how those dynamics contrast with going it alone. Revisiting this episode felt like opening an old journal and realising just how much has changed… and how much hasn’t.

If you’re thinking about travelling solo this year, or if you’re curious about how our perspectives evolve as we keep exploring, I think you’ll get something out of this one.

If you enjoy the episode, come say hello on Instagram at @wingingittravelpodcast, and check out more at wingingittravelpodcast.com. I’d love to hear your own solo travel stories.

To finish, I am not sure what to think of my early episodes; they are a tad cringe from me in terms of the sound and production, but a reminder of the progression I have made in five years.

Ep 189 w/ Marie Walker - A Digital Nomad Reality Check: Marie’s Honest Story of Travel, Work & Burnout

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 00:30:00 -0400

🎙️ Ep 189 w/ Marie Walker - A Digital Nomad Reality Check: Marie’s Honest Story of Travel, Work & Burnout

In this week’s episode, I sit down with my longtime podcasting friend and returning guest, Marie Walker, to pull back the curtain on what digital nomad life actually looks like. This is not a highlight reel. This is the real, messy, energising and exhausting truth of building a remote business while bouncing between continents. Marie opens up about leaving the USA with a plan, the crash-and-burn moments that forced her to return home, and the unexpected personal growth that came from rebuilding twice.

We talk about the difference between backpacking and being a digital nomad, the pressure to stay productive while constantly uprooting your life, and the emotional toll of trying to create community in a new country every few months. Marie shares the honest lessons she’s learned from Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia and Korea, why she needed to end her 10-month trip early, and how burnout changed the way she approaches business, travel and lifestyle freedom.

If you’re dreaming of working remotely around the world or already living the nomad lifestyle, this conversation gives you the reality check most digital nomad influencers skip. It’s raw, funny, vulnerable and full of valuable perspective from someone who has lived the ups and downs.

Stick around to hear why Marie is now focused on rebuilding her foundations, where she’s heading next, and how she plans to approach digital nomad life differently moving forward. This episode is a must-listen for anyone considering taking their work on the road.

IMMERSIVE - Hornby Island, British Columbia - A White Sand + Warm Clear Water Paradise

🌴 Episode Summary

In this immersive travel episode, join me, James Hammond, as I take you on a journey to Hornby Island, one of British Columbia’s most enchanting destinations — often called the “Hawaii of BC.”

Ep 188 w/ Pauline Frommer (Frommer's Travel Guides) - From Europe on $5 a Day to the Digital Age: Why Travel Still Matters

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 00:30:00 -0400

Ep 188 w/ Pauline Frommer (Frommer's Travel Guides) - From $5 a Day to the Digital Age: Why Travel Still Matters

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Pauline Frommer, the editorial director and the voice behind the legendary Frommer’s Travel Guides — a brand that has shaped how millions of people explore the world. From her father Arthur Frommer’s iconic Europe on $5 a Day to her own role in redefining modern travel, Pauline shares a fascinating journey through decades of changing travel trends and timeless wisdom.

We dive into the golden age of travel, the challenges of keeping guidebooks relevant in the AI and influencer era, and why authentic, local knowledge still matters more than viral posts or paid promotions. Pauline reflects on her early travels across Europe as a child, her father’s unexpected path from law to publishing, and how the Frommer family helped democratise travel for everyone—not just the rich.

We also unpack the realities of today’s travel media landscape — from fake reviews and corporate bias to AI scraping journalism — and what this means for travellers seeking honest advice. Pauline shares her insights on sustainable travel, mid-range budgets, and why travel remains one of the best ways to understand humanity, especially in divided times.

If you’ve ever carried a guidebook in your backpack, dreamed of exploring the world more meaningfully, or wondered how travel has evolved over the last 70 years, this episode is a must-listen.

Expect heartfelt stories, insider travel tips, reflections on modern society, and the enduring reminder that the world is still worth exploring — one honest adventure at a time.

Ep 187 w/ John Stuckey at Bear Hug Campers - Building the Perfect Campervan | Vanlife Design & Road Trip Freedom

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 00:30:00 -0400

🎙️ Episode Title: Ep 187 w/ John Stuckey at Bear Hug Campers - Building the Perfect Campervan | Vanlife Design & Road Trip Freedom

In this week’s episode of The Winging It Travel Podcast, I chat with John Stuckey, the founder of Bear Hug Campers, a UK-based company known for crafting custom-built campervans that perfectly blend design, functionality, and adventure.

John shares how his passion for travel, craftsmanship, and freedom led him from building his first DIY campervan to launching a thriving business helping others bring their vanlife dreams to life. Based near the South Downs in England, Bear Hug Campers has become a go-to name for bespoke van conversions, off-grid living setups, and self-build support.

We unpack every stage of the campervan conversion journey — from early inspiration and learning the essential skills to understanding realistic build costs, materials, and layouts that actually work on the road. John also reveals the biggest rookie mistakes first-time builders make, the non-negotiables for safety and quality, and how to make smart choices that save money without cutting corners.

If you’ve ever dreamed of designing your own van, taking a road trip across Europe or North America, or simply embracing a more minimalist, nomadic lifestyle, this episode is packed with invaluable insight and encouragement. John’s experience offers both the creative inspiration and practical knowledge needed to start your own vanlife journey.

We also discuss the latest vanlife trends for 2025, including the rise of smaller, stealthy vans, clever space-saving designs, and why more people are turning to modular and off-grid builds. Plus, John explains how Bear Hug Campers supports the growing self-build community through his online van conversion courses, offering hands-on guidance, video tutorials, and a vibrant learning community for DIY builders.

This is a must-listen for vanlife enthusiasts, digital nomads, and travellers who want to combine creativity with practicality — and discover what it truly takes to build a home on wheels.

Magical Prague at Sunrise, My Cringe Oktoberfest Stories and Travel Fitness

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 22:24:00 -0400

Magical Prague at Sunrise, My Cringe Oktoberfest Stories and Travel Fitness

In this week’s episode of Winging It Travel Podcast, I’m taking you through three very different parts of my travel life — the peaceful beauty of Prague at sunrise, the chaotic hilarity of my cringe Oktoberfest stories, and my personal reflections on something I call “travel fitness.”

I start with my recent trip to Prague, one of Europe’s most enchanting cities. After a sleepless overnight flight from Vancouver, I landed just in time to experience something truly magical — the city waking up at dawn. With the sun rising over the Vltava River and not a tourist in sight, I wandered across the Charles Bridge, through the Old Town Square, and soaked in that golden early-morning glow that made the whole city feel timeless. It reminded me why I travel — those quiet, unplanned moments that make everything worth it.

Then we move into a very different kind of travel experience — my cringe and hilarious Oktoberfest stories. I went to Oktoberfest for the first time back in 2014 at the end of my two-year backpacking trip, and to say it was messy would be an understatement. From falling off benches to accidentally soaking locals in beer, to somehow ending up cleaning my own disaster in a tent washroom — it was pure chaos. I also share what it was like to go back this year to meet some fellow travel creators, Chris and Sarah and Matt and Nat, and to see the festival from a slightly older (and more sober!) perspective. It’s a funny look back at my early travel days — the mistakes, the laughs, and the stories that stick with you forever.

Finally, I wrap up with a reflection on something I’ve been thinking about lately — travel fitness. It’s not just about being physically fit; it’s about having the energy, curiosity, and adaptability to keep exploring day after day. After walking nearly 27,000 steps in Prague, I realised just how much “travel stamina” it takes to be on the move — from early mornings, long days, and constant new experiences. I share a few honest thoughts on how I try to keep that balance and stay ready for whatever comes next on the road.

This episode is a mix of reflection, chaos, laughter, and travel insight — everything I love about sharing stories on this podcast. Whether you’re planning your next adventure, reminiscing about your own travel fails, or just dreaming of that next sunrise in a new city, I hope this episode inspires you to get out there and keep exploring.

Ep 186 w/ Rachel Rudwall - From STA Travel to 80 Countries: Rachel's Journey as a Global Storyteller

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 00:30:00 -0400

Ep 186 w/ Rachel Rudwall - From STA Travel to 80 Countries: Rachel's Journey as a Global Storyteller

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I sit down with Rachel Rudwall, who is also known as Rachel Roams. Rachel is an Emmy-nominated on-camera Host, Producer, Camera Operator, Writer, and Award-Winning Photographer. Rachel has travelled to all seven continents, lived in three countries, and journeyed through over 80 nations. Rachel is also a Fellow of the Explorers Club and has an extensive social media following. I met Rachel last year at TravelCon, where she gave a very inspiring talk that captivated me, so I was eager to have her on the podcast for a conversation.

From her early days in Ohio dreaming of the wider world, to landing a life-changing internship with STA Travel, Rachel’s story is one of persistence, curiosity, and following her passion for exploration.

Rachel shares how her time with STA Travel opened the door to a career in travel media, taking her from study abroad experiences in Spain and Scotland to a globe-spanning role as a video producer and host. We dive into the challenges and lessons of producing content before the days of YouTube dominance, what it takes to capture and hold an audience, and why storytelling always begins with putting the listener or viewer first.

We also explore the reality behind the glamorous world of travel media — the grind of producing content, the countless hours behind the scenes, and the need to love the craft deeply enough to push through the hard days. Rachel discusses building her creative career in Los Angeles, collaborating with other storytellers, and carving out her niche in a male-dominated industry where persistence and proof of concept were crucial.

On a personal level, Rachel reflects on how travel has evolved for her as a mother, from multi-month shoots to family adventures across Italy and beyond. She offers powerful insights into balancing work and family life, finding joy in simple experiences like visiting playgrounds and local grocery stores, and instilling a spirit of adventure in her child.

This conversation is packed with travel inspiration, career lessons, and practical advice for content creators, adventurers, and dreamers alike. Whether you’re fascinated by travel TV, curious about breaking into storytelling, or simply love hearing about epic adventures across 80 countries, Rachel’s journey will spark your wanderlust and leave you inspired.

My Top 15 Travel Destinations I’d Return to Tomorrow In A Heartbeat (And Why They’re Unforgettable)

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 00:30:00 -0400

My Top 15 Travel Destinations I’d Return to Tomorrow in a Heartbeat (And Why They’re Unforgettable)

What makes a destination unforgettable? Is it the people, the food, the culture, or simply the feeling you get when you arrive? In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I take you through 15 of the most incredible places I’ve visited that continue to pull me back. These are the destinations I’d return to tomorrow if I had the chance, and each one has its own story, memory, and lasting impression.

Across this journey, you’ll hear about destinations that range from vibrant global cities to remote islands and peaceful mountain villages. Each one shaped my travels in different ways — whether through breathtaking landscapes, powerful cultural encounters, or spontaneous adventures that could only have happened elsewhere. These are the places that stay with you long after you’ve left, the ones that call you back no matter how many new countries you explore.

This list isn’t about checking boxes on a tourist itinerary. It’s about travel that feels personal and transformative. Some of these destinations are well-known icons of world travel, while others are tucked-away gems that left me speechless; yet all of them remain unforgettable. When I think about where I’d be happiest to go back to in a heartbeat, these 15 spots rise straight to the top.

If you’ve ever wondered which destinations are worth returning to, this episode will give you plenty to think about. Maybe it will remind you of a place you’ve already visited and loved, or perhaps it will spark your curiosity for somewhere new. Travel is about those moments that linger in your memory, and this countdown is all about the locations that have done precisely that for me.

So, whether you’re planning your next trip, looking for travel inspiration, or love hearing stories from around the world, join me as I share the places that I can’t stop thinking about.

Ep 185 w/ Matt Dennis On Travelling With A Disability: Breaking Barriers, Accessible Travel + Mindset

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 00:30:00 -0400

Ep 185 w/ Matt Dennis On Travelling With A Disability: Breaking Barriers, Accessible Travel + Mindset

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I’m joined by Matt Dennis — a travel writer, journalist, and accessibility advocate — to discuss his inspiring journey of travelling with a disability and how mindset can transform the way we see the world.

Matt, also known as The Empowered Traveller, has been featured in publications like Metro, The Independent, Evening Standard, and Adventure.com. His work shines a light on accessible travel and how small changes in infrastructure, awareness, and attitude can open up destinations for millions of travellers worldwide.

We dive into Matt’s story of becoming disabled at 18, navigating life with a paralysed leg, and discovering the confidence and freedom that comes through travel. From interrailing across Europe with crutches and a backpack to advocating for accessibility at global tourism expos, Matt shows that travel is not just possible with a disability — it can be empowering and life-changing.

Throughout the episode, Matt shares insights into the realities of accessible travel, including which destinations are leading the way and which still have a long way to go. We explore countries such as Canada, France, Albania, and India, and discuss how accessibility isn’t just about wheelchair ramps — it’s about inclusive design, public transportation, adapted activities, and, most importantly, mindset.

This conversation also highlights why accessible tourism matters for everyone. With ageing populations and an increasing number of people living with mobility challenges, accessibility benefits not only disabled travellers but also seniors, families, and anyone who wants easier, more inclusive travel experiences.

Whether you are a disabled traveller looking for tips, an industry professional seeking to understand the importance of accessibility, or simply curious about how to make travel more inclusive, this episode will open your eyes to the possibilities.

We discuss:

Matt’s first major adventures travelling with crutches and a backpack across Europe
The mental side of disability and how mindset influences what’s possible
The challenges and triumphs of accessibility in destinations around the world
Why countries that embrace accessibility benefit travellers of all abilities
How accessible travel opens doors not just for disabled travellers, but for everyone

Whether you’re a traveller with a disability, know someone who is, or want better to understand the importance of accessibility in global travel, this conversation will leave you inspired.

The Top 10 Things I Have Learnt On My Travels From The Last 15 Years...So Far

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 13:29:00 -0400

The Top Things I Have Learnt On My Travels From The Last 15 Years...So Far

After 15 years on the road and over 75 countries explored, I’ve had my fair share of missed buses, border mishaps, budget wins, breathtaking hikes, and unforgettable friendships. In this solo episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I share the top 10 lessons I’ve learned from traveling the world — insights that can help you make your adventures smoother, deeper, and more meaningful.

From the importance of packing light and learning a few phrases in the local language, to why slow travel beats rushing through bucket lists, I dive into the hard-earned lessons that only come from years of backpacking, volunteering, and chasing stories across the globe. You’ll also hear why free walking tours are a goldmine for cultural connections, why the off-season is the best time to travel, and how nature is the real luxury we often overlook.

🌍 In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to expect the unexpected and adapt when things go wrong.
Why travel friendships are so unique and unforgettable.
The resilience and creativity that budget travel teaches.
How choosing off-season travel benefits both you and the locals.
Why the world is a much kinder place than the media often shows.

Whether you’re a seasoned backpacker, a gap-year adventurer, or planning your very first trip, these lessons will inspire you to travel with more confidence, awareness, and curiosity.

🎧 Tune in now to hear the raw, real, and reflective side of travel — because these aren’t just stories, they’re tools to help you travel smarter, deeper, and more authentically.

Ep 184 w/ Adventures Matt and Nat (Part 2) - Building A Community, Amassing 126k YouTube Subscribers + Authenticity

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 00:30:00 -0400

Ep 184 w/ Adventures Matt and Nat Part 2 - Building A Community, Amassing 126k YouTube Subscribers + Authenticity

In Episode 184, Part 2 of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I sit down with Matt and Nat from Adventures of Matt and Nat to explore the creative side of their journey. With over 126,000 YouTube subscribers and a thriving Patreon community, these two have cracked the code on building an authentic travel brand while staying true to themselves.

We dive into how they built their YouTube channel from scratch, the lessons learned along the way, and why authenticity, consistency, and community are at the heart of their success. From investing in their very first Sony camera during the pandemic, to filming 50 states in a year, to now running sold-out group trips across Europe, Matt and Nat share the real story behind their steady rise on YouTube.

This episode is packed with creator tips for anyone dreaming of starting a travel channel—everything from nailing good audio and clean editing, to finding your voice on camera, to creating thumbnails and titles that draw new viewers in. They also break down the importance of value-driven content—why showing people how to see, eat, and experience the most out of a destination is more powerful than just chasing cinematic shots.

We also go behind the scenes of their Patreon community—how they started it with just a handful of members (one of them being family!) and grew it into a loyal group that now meets up offline, supports one another, and has become bigger than just Matt and Nat themselves. They talk candidly about hosting group trips in Greece, Ireland, Italy, and the Christmas markets, the lessons of balancing free time with structured activities, and why community is the key to sustainable travel content creation.

Whether you’re a travel creator, digital nomad, or just curious about how to turn passion into a full-time adventure, this episode offers both inspiration and practical advice.

👉 Topics we cover:

How Matt and Nat grew their YouTube to 126k subscribers with steady, authentic content
The role of community in sustaining long-term success on Patreon, YouTube, and social media
What it takes to host group trips that feel more like family than tours
Lessons from the music industry that shaped their creator journey
Why audio matters more than video when you’re starting out
Thumbnails, titles, hooks, and the little details that make a big difference
Travel stories from Greece, Belgium, Italy, and beyond

If you’re dreaming of starting a channel, growing a loyal following, or simply love travel stories mixed with creator wisdom, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Ep 184 w/ Adventures of Matt + Nat (Part 1) – Travel Partners for Life, A Passion for Travel & A Thousand Places To See Before You Die

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 00:30:00 -0400

Ep 184 w/ Adventures of Matt + Nat (Part 1) – Travel Partners for Life, A Passion for Travel & A Thousand Places To See Before You Die

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I sit down with my good friends Matt and Nat, the adventurous duo behind Adventures of Matt and Nat. In Part 1 of our conversation, we dive into their love story with travel, from early adventures across the USA to discovering Greece and beyond.

We talk about how they managed to visit all 50 states in a single year, the moment they realised they were the perfect travel partners, and how travel shaped both their relationship and their outlook on life. Natalie shares what it was like growing up between Germany and the U.S. with an airline pilot father, while Matt opens up about his first big road trip that ignited his wanderlust.

We also explore their passion for food, culture, and history, how they balance fast-paced itineraries with meaningful experiences, and why having a home base matters even for full-time travellers. Along the way, we discuss their unforgettable group trip to Greece, hidden gems like Nafplio, and the inspiration they found in the classic book "A Thousand Places to See Before You Die."

This is a story about adventure, partnership, and the joy of discovering the world together—whether it’s local road trips, exploring America’s national parks, or travelling abroad for the first time.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

How Matt and Nat completed the challenge of seeing 50 states in one year
The story of how they became travel partners for life
Why growing up in different cultures shaped their approach to travel
Insights into their first big international trip and what they learned from it
Why Greece, Nafplio, and the Peloponnese left such a big impression
The importance of finding balance between fast-paced trips and slow moments

REVISITED in 2025 - Episode 1 - Why I Travel And Why You Should!

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 00:45:00 -0400

🎙 Why I Travel and Why You Should! – Revisited in 2025

In this special episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I go back to where it all started—Episode One, recorded in early 2021. Back then, I shared my reasons for travelling, my biggest lessons on the road, and my advice for anyone thinking about packing a bag and exploring the world. Four years later, I’m revisiting those original thoughts to see if I still agree, if my perspective has shifted, or if I completely disagree with my younger self.

From my predictions about post-COVID travel, to choosing Japan as my favourite country and Nepalese cuisine as my top food, to sharing stories from Mount Kinabalu and life on the road with no smartphone—this revisit is both a reflection and a reality check. I also revisit my advice for young travellers, my mindset about money and freedom, and my dream plans for campervan road trips across Canada, the USA, and Scotland.

Whether you’re a long-time listener who’s been here since day one or a new traveller looking for inspiration, this episode is a time capsule of my journey and proof of how travel continues to shape me. If you’ve ever wondered why we travel, what we learn along the way, and how our perspectives evolve over time, this is the episode for you.

Ep 183 w/ Erin Hynes - Gouda Cheese Market, Den Bosch Canals & Dreamy Delft – Exploring the Netherlands with Pina Travels

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 00:30:00 -0400

Erin Hynes - Gouda Cheese Market, Den Bosch Canals & Dreamy Delft – Exploring the Netherlands with Pina Travels

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I’m joined by Erin Hynes from Pina Travels and the Curious Tourism Podcast for a rich, wide-ranging journey through the Netherlands — from bustling cheese markets to hidden medieval canals, national parks to charming historic cities.

Erin’s deep personal connection to the Netherlands, through her family’s roots in Friesland, brings a unique insight into Dutch heritage and culture. Together, we explore well-known highlights and lesser-visited locations, weaving in stories about history, food, cycling culture, and the everyday beauty of life in this fascinating country.

We cover:

Delft – Iconic blue Delftware pottery, historic churches, and postcard-perfect canals.
Gouda – The world-famous cheese market and the traditions that keep it alive.
Den Bosch – One of the best-preserved medieval city centres, with canals running beneath the streets.
Dordrecht – A laid-back city with picturesque streets and waterside cafés.
Werkendam & Biesbosch National Park – Wetlands, birdlife, and the Dutch art of water management.
Utrecht – Two-level canals, lively cycling culture, and a vibrant student city vibe.
Friesland – A unique province with its own language, traditions, and proud heritage.

Along the way, we dive into Dutch cuisine (from bitterballen to pannenkoeken), the country’s ingenious engineering solutions for living below sea level, and why cycling here is more than just a mode of transport — it’s part of the national identity. We also talk about the warm historical ties between the Netherlands, Canada, and the UK.

Whether you’re planning a trip to the Netherlands or love hearing about destinations beyond the obvious, this conversation will give you fresh ideas, practical travel tips, and a deeper appreciation for Dutch culture.

Step into the heart of the Himalayas in this immersive episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast. Join me as I take you deep into Nepal’s Langtang Valley, sharing the raw, honest and unpredictable moments of one of the country’s most rewarding yet underrated treks.

Before the higher elevations and snow-capped peaks, the trek winds through dense forests, rickety suspension bridges, and riverside tea houses. Each day brings something new—whether it’s navigating relentless uphill climbs, encountering warm-hearted locals, or processing the solitude that can only be found in remote mountain terrain. It's a test of endurance, mindset, and connection with nature, and I’ll bring you along for every single step.

From the chaotic charm of Kathmandu’s Thamel district to the serenity of Kyanjin Gompa, this journey is more than just footsteps through the mountains—it's a story of resilience, beauty, solitude, and cultural connection. You'll hear the actual sounds from the trail—fluttering prayer flags, yak bells, rushing rivers, bustling tea houses, and quiet Himalayan dawns—bringing every moment to life.

This episode is packed with:

An unfiltered look at trekking with altitude
A personal challenge as James continues solo after his hiking partner falls ill
Honest reflections on Nepali hospitality, mountain life, and the impact of past avalanches
Highlights like Dal Bhat meals, rooftop sunrises, espresso in the Himalayas, and authentic mountain tea houses
Tips on gear, costs, and the best way to experience Langtang Valley

Whether you’re planning your own Himalayan trek or simply want to escape into nature for an hour, this episode will transport you to the roof of the world.

📌 Mentioned:

Kathmandu & Thamel district
Syabrubesi, Lama Hotel, Langtang Village, Kyanjin Gompa
Langtang Lirung, suspension bridges, local guest houses
The tragic 2015 avalanche & local survival stories

15 Best Airbnb Alternatives in 2025 for Ethical, Eco & Unique Stays

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 23:20:00 -0400

🎙️ Episode Title: 15 Best Airbnb Alternatives in 2025 for Ethical, Eco & Unique Stays

Are you tired of overpriced Airbnbs, endless cleaning fees, and cookie-cutter apartments? In this episode, I explore 15 of the best Airbnb alternatives in 2025 — from eco-friendly guesthouses to house swaps, digital nomad coliving spaces, and pet-sitting opportunities that let you stay for free.

These platforms are perfect for travellers looking to avoid the big platforms, support local communities, and travel more consciously — without sacrificing comfort, connection, or creativity. Whether you're a budget backpacker, a remote worker, or just someone who wants their stay to mean more, there's something here for you.

I break these down into easy-to-follow categories so you can find what fits your style of travel best:

🌱 Eco & Ethical Platforms – like Fairbnb, Socialbnb, and Ecobnb, which support local communities or prioritise sustainability.

🏡 Swap & Share-Based Travel – including Kindred, Holiday Swap, Trusted House Sitters, and Couchsurfing for travellers who want to trade space, time, or pet care for a place to stay.

🧳 Digital Nomad & Remote Work-Friendly Rentals – like Nomad House and Blueground, designed for long stays and laptop lifestyles.

🏕️ Boutique & Curated Stays – like Canopy & Stars, Landfolk, and Coolstays, featuring unique accommodations like treehouses, cabins, lighthouses, and countryside escapes.

🏖️ More Traditional Alternatives – like Homestay, Stayz, and HomeAway (now part of Vrbo), which offer familiar vacation rentals in homes around the world.

Along the way, I share some of my personal experiences, travel hacks, and tips for booking safely, finding verified listings, and avoiding hidden fees. This episode is packed with insight for those who want to travel smarter, spend less, and connect more deeply with places and people.

✅ Great for: solo travelers, digital nomads, couples, slow travelers, and anyone seeking a different kind of stay

🛑 Avoid if: you’re all about resort life and convenience at all costs (no shame — just not the vibe here!)

If you’ve ever asked yourself:

“Are there alternatives to Airbnb that are actually good?”
“How do I travel without paying hundreds a night for a place to sleep?”
“What are the best sustainable and ethical accommodation options out there?”
...this episode is for you.

💬 Got a favourite Airbnb alternative? Message me or leave a comment — I’d love to hear your recommendations.

☕ Enjoying the podcast? Support it by buying me a coffee or leaving a 5-star review.

Thanks for listening — and here’s to better, smarter, more meaningful travel in 2025 and beyond.

Ep 182 w/ Dave Seminara - Why Suriname Should Be Your Next Adventure Travel Destination

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 00:30:00 -0400

This week, I’m joined once again by travel writer, YouTuber, and author Dave Seminara to explore a country rarely found on bucket lists — Suriname. Tucked between Guyana and French Guiana on South America's northern coast, this former Dutch colony is bursting with untouched jungle, rich multicultural heritage, and wildly underrated adventure experiences.

Dave recently spent eight days solo travelling across Suriname, from the capital, Paramaribo, to the remote Maroon villages deep in the rainforest. He shares everything — how to get there, where to stay, why the Upper Suriname River is a must-do journey, and why it may just be the friendliest country in the world.

We dive into:

The colonial history and ethnic diversity that make Suriname one of the most culturally layered countries in the Americas
Unique cultural practices like polygamy and menstruation houses in Maroon communities
Why Suriname is known as the most Asian country outside Asia and the most African country outside Africa
Incredible food: from roti to Indonesian cuisine — and why Suriname is a hidden foodie destination
The realities of getting around Suriname, including limited flights, overland routes, and remote access points
Visiting remote villages via dugout canoe and navigating rivers that cut through untouched rainforest
Why Paramaribo is worth a short visit — plus tips on markets, accommodation, and cultural etiquette
An honest take on safety, infrastructure, friendliness, and why the locals are genuinely curious about travellers

This episode is full of inspiration for anyone dreaming of a more authentic, remote, and meaningful travel experience. Dave’s storytelling is full of insight, humour, and practical tips — and by the end, you might be planning your own trip to Suriname.

Thanks to Dave for coming on again, and he is welcome back anytime, as he is a much-loved guest on the podcast.

My Journey to Dual Citizenship (Canada + UK) But Australia Is Still My First Love

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 21:46:00 -0400

🎙️ My Journey to Dual Citizenship (Canada + UK) But Australia Is Still My First Love

In this solo episode, I’m sharing a big personal milestone—I’ve officially become a Canadian citizen! After years of navigating immigration paperwork, PR applications, and ceremony dates, I finally hold dual citizenship with the UK and Canada. I walk you through the entire journey—what it really takes, how much it costs, and what I’ve learned along the way.

But that’s only half the story.

I also take a nostalgic trip back to Australia, the country that first lit the travel fire in me. From the moment I landed in Perth to the chaos of Christmas Eve/Day morning (early hours) to Boxing Day cricket in Melbourne, Australia, my first travel experience completely changed my perspective on the world. I discuss culture shock, the beauty of spontaneity, and how that experience set me on the path I’m still following today.

To wrap things up, I share a bit about the future of Winging It—where I see the podcast going, how I want to evolve the solo and immersive episodes, and what I’m most excited to create for the second half of 2025.

If you’re curious about moving to Canada, falling for a country you barely knew, or just want to hear honest stories from someone winging it through life and travel—this episode is for you.

Ep 181 Part 2 w/ Aaron Millar - From Volcanoes to Shugendo Monks: Adventure Travel, Crafting Stories + Emotional Hooks

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 16:50:00 -0400

In this Part 2 conversation, I’m back with Aaron Millar, award-winning travel writer and host of The Armchair Explorer podcast. If you haven’t heard Part 1 yet — jump back and catch up — because in this episode, we go deeper into the world of adventure travel, travel writing, storytelling, and podcasting with purpose.

Aaron shares epic stories from his adventures — from descending into a volcano in Iceland to trekking with Shugendo monks in Japan, meditating beneath icy waterfalls and reflecting on the power of discomfort and growth. But this isn’t just about the adventure — it’s about how to tell the story in a way that moves people.

We dive into:

How to create powerful podcast intros that hook your audience in seconds
Why the first 30–45 seconds of a podcast episode are make or break
The difference between travel writing vs. holiday blogging
What makes a story repeatable and relevant for editors and listeners alike
Tips for immersive storytelling using ambient sound, music, and editing
Why planning your story arc before the trip can make or break the final product
How to deal with disappointing travel experiences and still create magic

Whether you're a travel writer, podcaster, or someone with a passion for storytelling, Aaron's insights into narrative structure, authenticity, and the ethics of travel content will inspire you to level up your craft — and maybe even go book that bucket list adventure.

Armchair Explorer

A final thanks to Aaron for coming on the show; there are a lot of crucial nuggets in there for anyone looking to be a travel writer, podcaster, or to seek out their next adventure.

Ep 181 Part 1 - Flesh-Eating Crabs, Legendary Pub Crawls & Immersive Travel Storytelling w/ Aaron Millar (The Armchair Explorer Podcast)

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 23:55:00 -0400

Part 1 - Flesh-Eating Crabs, Legendary Pub Crawls & Immersive Travel Storytelling w/ Aaron Millar (The Armchair Explorer Podcast)

In this wildly entertaining and deeply insightful episode, James sits down with Aaron Millar, award-winning travel writer and host of The Armchair Explorer Podcast — once named the best travel podcast by The Guardian. From epic pub crawls across England to one of his podcast guests surviving a flesh-eating crab attack in South Africa, Aaron shares his most unbelievable stories, creative processes, and philosophy behind storytelling that feels like travel.

We dive into:

Aaron’s early adventures hiking the Swiss Alps as a teen
His unconventional journey from the music industry to travel journalism
The 100-mile South Downs pub crawl that kickstarted his writing career
How blagging a “galactic safari” in Tenerife got him published in The Sunday Times
The gruesome true story of one of his podcast guests getting eaten alive (partially) by crabs
Why immersive audio is the future of travel storytelling
Tips for aspiring podcasters and travel writers
How storytelling can challenge life norms and inspire change
A philosophical look at why travel changes people

Aaron’s professional writing has appeared in major publications such as The Times, The Guardian, National Geographic Traveller, and Conde Nast Traveller. He's been a regular columnist and feature writer covering adventure, sustainability, and culture, and has also authored several travel books. Aaron brings a rare blend of narrative skill and on-the-ground experience that makes his work both entertaining and deeply human.

🎧 About The Armchair Explorer Podcast

We had such a good time recording this episode that we came back a few days later to complete Part 2, which will be out next on Winging It. We will delve further into Aaron's podcast, exploring the importance of immersive storytelling, the differences between work and leisure travel as a travel professional, the emotive truth rather than visual spectacles, and more about Aaron's travels.

Whether you're into epic travel mishaps, audio storytelling tips, or just want to hear a grown man outwit a swarm of crabs, this episode has something for you.

A Long Weekend in Kelowna, British Columbia - Kelowna to Osoyoos: Wine Country, Lakeside Strolls & the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 00:30:00 -0400

A Long Weekend in Kelowna, British Columbia - Kelowna to Osoyoos: Wine Country, Lakeside Strolls & the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre

This week on the Winging It Travel Podcast, I’m sharing a relaxing but adventure-packed Easter weekend getaway in Kelowna and Osoyoos, located in the heart of British Columbia’s stunning Okanagan Valley. If you’re dreaming about a scenic road trip filled with vineyard views, coffee shop gems, and meaningful cultural experiences, this episode is for you.

We based ourselves in downtown Kelowna, staying at the centrally located Royal Anne Hotel, and explored everything from lakeside trails to vibrant cafes and local eateries. Then we hit the road to visit Vernon, the desert-like town of Osoyoos, and the powerful and educational Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre, where I share my honest reflections about Canada’s colonial history and the importance of Indigenous learning spaces.

From sipping wine at Frind Winery next to the beach, to an epic brunch at Eatology, to sipping third-wave espresso at Slow Side Coffee, this weekend was the perfect mix of downtime and discovery. I also dive into travel costs, local transport tips, and why Kelowna might just be your next affordable getaway from Vancouver.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:

🧳 How to spend 4 days in Kelowna without breaking the bank
☕ Where to find the best coffee in Kelowna
🍷 A must-visit beachfront winery in West Kelowna
🍽️ My top food spots: from Vietnamese banh mi to fine Indian cuisine
🏞️ The Okanagan Region is one of Canada’s sunniest destinations
🎓 An honest take on the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre and its powerful Indigenous education
🚗 How to plan a mini road trip through the Okanagan with a cheap rental car
🌅 Scenic walking routes along Okanagan Lake and Tugboat Beach
💡 Tips for booking travel during holidays like Easter

If you’re considering a short break within BC, this episode shows why Kelowna and Osoyoos offer the perfect mix of relaxation, culture, and natural beauty. I’ll also touch on how this trip made me reconsider future moves—Kelowna might just be a contender!

Bonus Episode - The Hidden Trails of Oregon - IMMERSION: Homecoming: Chief Joseph’s Promise and the Flight of the Nez Perce

Mon, 19 May 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Bonus Episode - The Armchair Explorer

Hello and welcome to this week’s episode! I’ve got something a little different—and very exciting—for you. Today, I’m sharing a powerful episode from The Armchair Explorer, hosted by my good friend Aaron Millar. It is called "IMMERSION: Homecoming: Chief Joseph’s Promise and the Flight of the Nez Perce" from the Hidden Trails of Oregon Series.

The episode is called Homecoming, and it tells a moving story about the Native American tribes of Eastern Oregon—specifically, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla. It uncovers a nearly forgotten chapter of history involving two chiefs and a sacred promise to bring their people home.

The Armchair Explorer is a phenomenal travel podcast that blends immersive audio, rich storytelling, and a deep sense of human connection and adventure. It’s a huge inspiration to me, and I think you’ll find yourself transported by the vivid way these stories are told. I am absolutely delighted to share this episode today, as quality content is the most important aspect, and Aaron has that in abundance with his podcast.

See the shownotes below for all the links to the Armchair Explorer Podcast and everything mentioned in the episode. You have to check in to Aaron's podcast like I do every week!

So sit back, relax, and let this journey take you somewhere unforgettable. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Shownotes

Welcome back to the Hidden Trails of Oregon! In the first episode of our new season, host Aaron Millar heads to the eastern edge of the state, far from the bustle of coastal cities and the craggy heights of the Cascade Mountains.

We're going on location in the traditional lands of the Nez Perce to uncover a piece of history unknown to most outsiders. In the late 19th century, the Wallowa Band of the Nez Perce tribe were driven from their homeland. 200 warriors, protecting hundreds more women and children, fought for five days against 520 US soldiers. Their leader, before surrendering, promised his people that one day they would come home. After nearly 200 years, his promise may just be starting to come true.

This is a unique story of generational resilience, cultural preservation, and the ongoing work for recognition and ancestral lands.

In this solo travel episode, I (James) take you through my chilled, food-filled, coffee-fueled 3-day escape to Oaxaca, Mexico — a destination famous for its rich culture, incredible street food, artisan markets, and laid-back digital nomad vibes.

Ep 178 w/ Kristina Plattner - Kamba African Rainforest Experiences in the Republic of Congo

Mon, 05 May 2025 12:30:00 -0400

In this episode, I’m joined by Kristina Plattner, the managing director of Kamba Rainforest Experiences, a groundbreaking eco-tourism initiative deep in the heart of the Republic of Congo (ROC). Kristina shares her fascinating journey from growing up in the hospitality world of South Africa to creating immersive travel experiences in one of the world’s last great rainforests. Her passion for conservation, community engagement, and storytelling shines as we talk about how Kamba connects travelers with the lush, biodiverse environment of the Congo Basin—a region few tourists have explored but which holds incredible ecological and cultural significance. From tracking western lowland gorillas and forest elephants to collaborating with local guides and Ba’Aka communities, Kamba is all about meaningful, ethical, and unforgettable encounters.

We also dive into the realities of running a responsible tourism business in such a remote, logistically challenging region. Kristina discusses the balance between luxury and sustainability, the importance of respecting local traditions, and the vision for Kamba to become a leader in regenerative travel across Central Africa. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or dreaming of going off-grid for the first time, this episode will open your eyes to the beauty and potential of the Republic of Congo as a premier destination for nature and culture lovers alike. If you’re seeking untamed wilderness, rare wildlife encounters, and a chance to travel with purpose, this conversation will both inspire and inform.

We discuss:

✅ What makes Kamba Rainforest Experiences unique

✅ How Kristina fell in love with the Congo and transitioned from hospitality in South Africa to jungle adventures in the ROC

✅ Gorilla trekking, forest safaris, and cultural immersion with local communities

✅ The challenges and rewards of running an eco-tourism initiative in remote Central Africa

✅ Why the ROC is an off-the-beaten-path travel gem worth discovering now

🌍 Whether you're a curious traveller, conservation enthusiast, or looking to visit lesser-known destinations in Africa, this episode will inspire your next adventure.

One Epic Day in Tikal: Exploring Guatemala’s Ancient Mayan City

Thu, 01 May 2025 20:27:00 -0400

One Epic Day in Tikal: Exploring Guatemala’s Ancient Mayan City

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I take you deep into the Guatemalan jungle for an unforgettable one-day adventure through Tikal National Park—one of the most breathtaking and mysterious Mayan archaeological sites in the world.

Join me as I travel from Lake Atitlán to Flores, flying from Guatemala City Airport (not part of the plan!). I take you on a journey into the heart of Tikal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Guatemala’s must-see destinations. I share my real-time experiences, from booking the guide and finding accommodation to dealing with hostel mishaps and late-night boat rides on Lake Petén Itzá.

🎒 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

How to visit Tikal in one day (and why it's totally worth it!)
The best tips for booking your Tikal day tour
Why staying on the island of Flores is essential
What to bring to Tikal: cash, ponchos, and good shoes!
Temple highlights: Temple I (Temple of the Great Jaguar), Temple II (Temple of the Masks), and the towering Temples IV and V
Insights from my incredible guide, Georgino
The mystery of Tikal’s collapse and what still lies hidden beneath the jungle
My recommended hostels in Flores, Guatemala
Whether you need a guide to explore the ruins (hint: it’s highly recommended!)

🌿 Why Tikal Is So Special:

Tikal was once a thriving Mayan city and holds deep historical, cultural, and spiritual significance. With only 10–20% of its ruins uncovered, this ancient city in the jungle offers visitors a rare and humbling glimpse into a civilization that mastered architecture, astronomy, and jungle living. It's an absolute bucket-list destination in Guatemala, and a highlight of my Central America backpacking trip.

📸 PRO TIP: Take your best camera—Tikal is a content creator’s dream with panoramic jungle views, ancient pyramids, and wildlife all around.

🧭 Essential Travel Info for Tikal, Guatemala:

Location: Tikal National Park, Petén, northern Guatemala
Entry Fee: 150 Quetzales (cash only)
Best Time to Visit: Dry season (Nov–Apr), but bring a rain jacket regardless
Tours: Easily booked through hostels like Los Amigos or Casa Maya Itza

✈️ After Tikal, I flew back to Guatemala City, en route to Mexico City and Oaxaca—coming up in future episodes!

A Two-Day Travel Guide to Lake Atitlán, Guatemala - Panajachel, San Pedro and Selina Hostels

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 00:20:00 -0400

🌎 Episode Overview:

This week on Winging It Travel Podcast, I'm taking you along with me to the breathtaking Lake Atitlán in Guatemala! After an epic volcano hike in Antigua, it was time to slow things down by the water. I’ll be sharing my experience staying in Panajachel, exploring the charming town of San Pedro, finding incredible coffee spots, and my disappointment at missing out on paragliding (don’t worry, I’m already planning a return trip!). I’ve got tips on getting around the lake, hostel recommendations, must-try cafés, and why you’ll want way more than two days here.

🎧 In This Episode I Talk About:

How I got from Antigua to Lake Atitlán
What it was like staying at Selina Hostel in Panajachel
The best coffee shops I discovered in Panajachel and San Pedro
A hidden café gem you have to check out in San Pedro
My favourite local restaurant find
Hostels that are perfect whether you want to party or chill out
What happened when I tried (and failed) to go paragliding
How to navigate the public boats like a pro
Why I totally underestimated how long you should stay here

🏡 Places I Visited:

Selina Hostel Panajachel
Cafe Loco (Panajachel)
Tornado’s Café (San Pedro)
Jakku Restaurant (San Pedro)

Recommended Hostels

Mr. Mullet’s Hostel (San Pedro)
Dreamboat Hostel (San Pedro)
Free Cerveza Hostel (Santa Cruz La Laguna)

🎒 Travel Tips I Learned:

Always check wind conditions for paragliding (even if the weather looks good!)
Booking boats directly at the dock is easy — a little Spanish goes a long way
Two days isn’t enough — plan for a longer stay if you can!

Ep 176 w/ Nick Cohen - We Hiked Acatenango Volcano to See Fuego and Chaos Ensued for Nick!

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0400

🎙️ Episode Title: We Hiked Acatenango to See Fuego and Chaos Ensued for Nick!

So we climbed Acatenango together… and that was already intense. But then Nick decided to go one volcano further — literally. Nick and I met in El Salvador, travelled to Antigua in Guatemala, and decided to hike the Acatenango Volcano together.

In this funny, honest episode, we recount our wild trek up Guatemala’s Volcán Acatenango — a two-day grind through steep trails, freezing nights, and jaw-dropping views. But the real twist? While most sane people watched Fuego erupt from a safe distance, Nick hiked straight toward it with a group in tow.

Yup. He dropped down the saddle and made the bonus climb to stand just a few hundred meters from one of the most active volcanoes in the world — Volcán de Fuego — while it erupted.

For an extra bit of money, you can add a hike to Fuego when you get to base camp, and Nick shares his stories, the good and bad of what to expect when you climb. Nick left at 5 pm for Fuego and did not return until nearly midnight, so there is much to discuss! It should have only taken 3-5 hours, so it didn't go quite as planned.

🏕️ From campfire laughs to hiking-induced delirium and Nick’s death-defying detour, this episode is full of high-altitude absurdity, heart-racing adventure, and a whole lot of ash.

Whether you’re curious about hiking Acatenango, dreaming of volcano views, or just want to hear a story about a guy willingly walking towards an erupting mountain... this one’s a ride.

To add to the drama, there is some great content in here about hiking Acatenango and Fuego in general, so if this is something on your bucket list, you could learn a few things from this episode.

🔥 What’s Inside:

The Acatenango climb: expectations vs. reality
Camp life at 3,600m: freezing temps, volcanic light shows, and hot noodles
Nick’s wild decision to summit Fuego — and what he saw up there
The sounds, sights, and full sensory chaos of a volcano erupting nearby
Advice for anyone thinking of doing the hike (and the Fuego add-on)
A reminder that the best stories come from slightly bad ideas

🎧 Ideal for listeners who love:

Real, raw, and ridiculous travel stories
Volcano hiking in Guatemala
Backpacking comedy with an edge of danger
Inspiring (and slightly reckless) solo challenges

Ep 172 Part 1 w/ Adam Bamford - Why Norwich Should Be on Your UK Travel List: A Local’s Guide

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 00:30:00 -0400

Hello and welcome to this week's episode, in which my first-ever guest, Adam Bamford, returns to the podcast for the first time in four years (as a solo guest). Check out the show notes below for this episode as we take a deep dive into Norwich, UK, from a local perspective.

In this Winging It Travel Podcast episode, host James Hammonds is joined by his longtime friend Adam "Bambi" Bamford to explore their hometown—Norwich, UK. Often overlooked in favour of London and Cambridge from the local area, Norwich is a city packed with history, charm, and fascinating quirks.

James and Bambi kick things off with some fascinating facts and figures about Norwich before diving into why Norwich Cathedral is a must-visit, from its towering architecture to its unexpected resident peregrine falcons. They also share an intriguing fact about the Maids Head Hotel—a historic gem with a royal connection (but you’ll have to listen to find out what it is!). You will also understand why William the Conqueror played a pivotal role in the creation of Norwich as a city, including some of its stunning landmarks.

They wrap up by revealing their top 10 things to do in Norwich, covering everything from the medieval streets of Elm Hill to the stunning views at Mousehold Heath. Whether you're a history buff, a traveller looking for unique destinations, or just curious about this underrated city, this episode will leave you wanting to book a trip to Norwich.

A disclaimer here: A few of the facts about Norwich could be urban legend or completely rogue, but let's go with it and have some fun.

Stay tuned for Part 2 (the next episode), where they’ll explore Norwich’s best cafes, restaurants, pubs, alternative streets, day trips in Norfolk (the county) and other things that popped up in the conversation!

Ep 171 - Exploring Africa’s Wildlife Wonders with Rich de Gouveia – A Guide’s Journey

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 01:00:00 -0400

Hello and welcome to Episode 171 with Rich de Gouveia, and one word sums up this episode: inspirational. Honestly, this will hit you hard. This is one of the most passionate episodes I have recorded to date. Read the summary below, dive into the episode and get planning that trip to Africa.

In this captivating episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, host James Hammond sits down with Rich de Gouveia, founder of Arc Earth Travel, private safari guide, photographer, and conservation advocate. Rich takes us on a journey through his fascinating life, from growing up in South Africa and his early love for nature to his transition from the corporate world to becoming a ranger and safari guide, eventually founding his own travel company.

Rich shares unforgettable experiences from his work, including gorilla trekking in Rwanda, where he explains the intricate habituation process that allows tourists to have life-changing encounters with mountain gorillas. He describes moments like standing just meters away from a 500-pound silverback and the deep emotional connection guests feel in their presence.

The episode dives into the complexities of the Great Migration in Kenya and Tanzania, highlighting both the awe-inspiring spectacle of wildlife and the challenges posed by overcrowded tourism. Rich contrasts this with more intimate safari experiences in South Africa and Botswana, where guests can explore vast, uncrowded reserves.

Rich also discusses the important role of safari guides, emphasizing their ability to connect people with nature while educating them about ecosystems. He talks about his own journey, from dreaming of becoming a guide as a child to creating Arc Earth Travel, where he offers personalized, conservation-focused tours that go beyond traditional safari experiences.

A significant portion of the conversation focuses on poaching and conservation efforts, with Rich detailing the devastating effects on rhino populations. He recounts seeing 17 poached rhinos and explains initiatives like de-horning and radio collaring to protect these animals from extinction. Rich highlights the critical need for collaboration among governments, local communities, and conservation organizations to create sustainable solutions for wildlife and ecosystems.

Throughout the episode, Rich paints a vivid picture of Africa's diverse landscapes, from the deserts of Namibia to the lush Okavango Delta and the iconic safaris of Kruger National Park. He shares insights into how safaris not only provide breathtaking encounters with the Big Five but also contribute to conservation by making wildlife worth more alive than dead.

Rich's passion for wildlife, photography, and teaching others shines through as he reflects on the transformative power of travel and connection with nature. Whether you're dreaming of a safari or curious about conservation, this episode offers an inspiring and thought-provoking exploration of Africa's beauty and challenges.

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 18:37:00 -0400

Hello and welcome to Episode 170 with Ed de la Fuente, also known as the Itinerant Fan. Ed is my friend who I met at TravelCon last year and he comes on to talk about his passion for sport and travel. He loves to mix the two, and it is a great way to kick off 2025. Check out the show notes below.

Ed reflects on memorable experiences, including Olympic hockey games and college football rivalries, while also providing travel tips for sports enthusiasts. The conversation culminates in predictions for upcoming sports seasons and a discussion on the future of soccer in the US, particularly with the influence of stars like Messi in Major League Soccer.

Ep 168 - Kristen Van Nest: The Transformative Power of Travel On Her Latest Book - 'Where To Nest'

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 20:00:00 -0400

Hello, and welcome to guest Episode number 168 with Kristen Van Nest.

In this episode of the Winging It Travel podcast, host James Hammond engages with author Kristen Van Nest, exploring her extensive travel experiences across 40 countries. They discuss the evolution of travel perspectives, the impact of cultural backgrounds on language and identity, and the personal growth that comes from travel.

The conversation also touches on the effects of COVID-19 on travel habits and the generational shifts in how millennials navigate the digital landscape. In this conversation, they discuss the challenges millennials and Gen Z face, particularly in relation to economic shifts and the impact of social media.

Kristen reflects on her experiences travelling without technology, shares a near-death skiing adventure, and recounts his experiences during Greece's banking crisis. The conversation also delves into cultural differences observed during his time living in China compared to the USA, highlighting the evolving nature of societal values and economic realities across generations.

In this conversation, Kristen shares her unique travel experiences, discussing the cultural nuances of places like Thailand and Bali, her culinary adventures, and the challenges of budget travel. She delves into the themes of belonging and personal growth in her book and explores the intersection of travel and comedy. The discussion emphasizes the importance of being easy on oneself while travelling and embracing the adventure of exploring new places.

Kristen Van Nest is the author of "Where to Nest: A Global Search for Love, Cheap Wine, and a Place to Belong"—a memoir that Arab News calls a "funnier, more relatable millennial version of 'Eat, Pray, Love'." Kristen's journey spans over 40 countries, and her book blends humour with insights on travel misadventures, dating dramas, and finding belonging as a young professional abroad. Kristen is also an observational comedian and this episode has plenty of laughs making it a perfect fit for the Winging It Travel Podcast audience.

Hello and welcome to Episode 157 with Neil Laird, a TV producer, novelist, documentary maker, and avid traveller. Neil Laird is LGBTQIA+ and a multiple Emmy-nominated director of historical films for Discovery, BBC, PBS, History Channel, National Geographic, and many other networks.

For 25 years, he has produced over 1000 hours of "non-fiction" films about the ancient world whilst travelling to over 70 countries. His films feature crumbling Egyptian tombs, lost Mayan cities, and mysterious shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea. Today, we will discuss Neil’s ‘eye-opening’ backpacking trip, what it is like to make TV documentaries worldwide, and why he has changed course to write novels.

We discuss Neil's extensive travel experiences, the realities of working in the travel and media industry, and the evolution of travel over the years. Neil shares his insights on the challenges of documenting travel stories, the importance of local voices, and his transition from television to writing novels. The conversation also touches on the impact of streaming services on the industry, navigating travel as a gay producer, and the joys and fears of travelling to places like Egypt.

Travelling for work can be less enjoyable than leisure travel.
Experiences in countries can change drastically over the years.
Documenting travel stories requires a different approach than traditional storytelling.
Local voices are crucial in sharing authentic travel experiences.
Transitioning from TV to writing novels can be a fulfilling creative outlet.

IMMERSIVE Episode - Winging It on location at Garibaldi Lake - a 20km overnight hike

Sat, 21 Sep 2024 04:10:00 -0400

Welcome to this week's bonus episode as I share a new concept for the Winging It Travel Podcast. This is an immersive audio episode about my 20 km return hike to Garibaldi Lake over one night and two days. I share my experience hiking up with forest sounds and hiking poles, my reaction to the fantastic views of Garibaldi Lake, and the ups and downs of camp life. The elevation was 900m from the parking lot, with most of the elevation occurring in the first 6km of the hike towards the campground and vice versa back down the next day.

Along the way, I collected sounds, spoke into the camera for a real-life reaction, and had a fantastic coffee product to share. I combined these with post-hike responses to give you the sense you were there with me on the hike. In this episode, we embark on an unforgettable journey along the stunning Garibaldi Lake Trail in British Columbia. Join me as I hike through dense forests, across scenic meadows, and up to the breathtaking Garibaldi Lake with crystal-clear turquoise waters.

Along the way, I’ll share tips for tackling this challenging yet rewarding trail. We’ll set up camp at the beautiful Garibaldi Lake Campground for an overnight wilderness adventure. Canada is one of the best places in the world for lake views, and this one is no different. This is a true hiking adventure in Canada and one very close to my home city of Vancouver, just over an hour's drive away. This is a must when visiting the area!

I am excited to share this new type of episode with you; let me know what you think. I hope it provides you with that travel experience and valuable hiking tips for Garibaldi Lake.

Ep 155 w/ Shafik Meghji - A Deep Dive Into Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia in South America

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 04:33:56 -0400

Welcome to episode 155! This week, Shafik Meghji rejoins me for a second time to discuss travelling in Patagonia. In this episode, we will touch on Cordoba, Argentina's second city, and why it isn't on the traveller's radar for travel in Argentina.

We discuss the best times to travel to Patagonia, the issue of over-tourism, and the different entry points into the region. We explore the landscapes and attractions of Patagonia's Argentine and Chilean sides, including the Peninsula Valdes, Welsh Patagonia, Los Glaciares National Park, and the Lake District. Patagonia can be expensive, but we mention the affordability of travelling by bus in the region and highlight the Tren del Fin del Mundo, the southernmost railway on earth, and travelling by boat in Chile to reach Patagonia.

Shafik talked us through his previous travels to the region when he visited Ushuaia, South Georgia, the Falkland Islands and Antarctica. Shafik has travelled in the region for the last two decades and was based in Buenas Aires for a year in his younger days. He is an expert in the region, and I am so glad to get his thoughts on Patagonia. Thanks, Shafik, for coming to the show; we will get that hat trick in!

Takeaways

Patagonia is a vast region spanning the southern halves of Argentina and Chile, known for its dramatic landscapes and wilderness.
The best times to visit Patagonia are spring + autumn to avoid the peak summer crowds.
Overtourism is a concern in popular spots like Torres del Paine.
Comfortable buses offer amenities like meals + entertainment.
The End of the World Train in Ushuaia, Argentina, was built by convict labour + is now a tourist attraction.
Ushuaia is the main port for ships to Antarctica, and visiting Antarctica is a popular tourist activity.
Cordoba, Argentina's second city, is known for its beautiful architecture, universities, and surrounding natural attractions.
Travelling independently in Patagonia is possible with some planning, and the public transport network is reliable.
Train travel in Europe is a great way to explore the continent.

Ep 153 w/ Marie DeCosse - Launching NOMAD Travel Groups - The Home Exchange Platform Designed For Everyone

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 05:13:53 -0400

Hello, and welcome to episode 153! This week, I am joined by Marie DeCosse, the founder and CEO of Nomad Travel Groups, which launched a week before this podcast episode's release. Read below for a description of what Nomad Travel Groups can offer.

As founder Marie DeCosse sat with friends gazing at the tranquil waves ebbing from the coast of Saboga, Panama, a conversation unfolded about life's joys—relationships, freedom, and travel. This conversation sparked a realization: why work tirelessly only to savour such moments a few times a year?

With a background in international tax and a passion for travel, Marie created NOMAD to transform conventional home and time-sharing models."This generation was given an early taste of what work-life balance means. We've learned we don't need desk chains or lengthy commutes to succeed," says Marie.

Recognizing a gap in the travel industry, NOMAD was born—a home-sharing service that caters to a new breed of travellers seeking long-term stays without logistical headaches and monetary constraints. NOMAD simplifies travel by curating Travel Groups aligned with location and property preferences, fostering connections, and streamlining arrangements—all at an accessible price point. We are the accommodation solution for the modern-day traveller.

Marie joined me to discuss everything with Nomad, and I asked every question I could think of to give the listener the best possible idea of this new business within the travel space. I also get to hear about Marie's upbringing in Madascagar and Bangladesh and the return culture shock of going back to the USA. Marie is half Senegalese, so we hear why that country is a must to visit, especially because of the people and food. We hear about Marie's dream place in Europe to be located in the future, her challenges with setting up a new business, why being Senegalese culture is her favourite, and so much more!

It's a super exciting product and a great conversation.

Ep 152 w/ Dave Seminara - The Baltics in 2024, The Degeneration of Niagara (US Side) + Annoying Bear Guides

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 19:22:26 -0400

Hello, and welcome to number 152! This week, I am re-joined by Dave Seminara, the author of Mad Travelers: A Tale of Wanderlust, Greed, and the Quest to Reach the Ends of the Earth, which I read.

I find Dave fascinating to speak with; he is always welcome back on the podcast. Today, he is back to talk about a recent trip to the Baltics, a month-long trip to Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. We talk about hidden gems in those places and why these areas are some of Europe's quietest during the summer. There are recommendations for bear tours, castles, small old towns and great city breaks. We also discuss the political situation and how it impacts people in those countries and travel.

We also get to discuss one of Dave's most recent YouTube videos about his father's hometown of Niagara on the USA side. He explains how this once thriving city is now desolate and struggling in modern times.

This episode has many other subjects, such as climate change, regional accents in the UK, the production of travel YouTube videos, and the Amish community. It was a fascinating chat. Thanks, Dave, for coming back!

Hello, and welcome to Episode 151 with Erin Hynes, a returning guest. This episode is different from the previous one as Erin quit her job to travel the world for 165 days this year (2024). As we have both been on 'big' trips in recent times, I thought it would be great to hear about Erin's trip first and foremost and then dive into some intriguing questions about what we both thought on different aspects of travel post-COVID.

We dive into the reasons for Erin quitting her job to travel, each part of the trip, including Tanzania, Greece, Sri Lanka (and more!), the cost of the trip, what her backup fund was, what she thought of travel in a post-COVID world, whether it was as transformative as her last big trip in 2017 and so much more! There is an important lesson and story in this episode about the need for travel insurance, which everyone should take note of, and very apt for this episode's sponsor, too!

Erin is one of my favourite people in travel, and she has an awesome podcast named the Curious Tourism: Responsible Travel Podcast. She took a break during her trip but plans to get stuck into a new season in the coming months towards the end of the year.

A Review Of My First 250 Episodes Which Includes 150 Guest Episodes

Mon, 29 Jul 2024 17:49:28 -0400

This is a review of my last 250 episodes, 150 of which have been guest episodes. The first half is a fun little game as I record on the fly with a number generator on Google, asking it to pick a random number between 1 and 150 (concentrating on the guest episodes). Whatever number comes up, I will give you thirty seconds as to why you should listen to that episode. A little test for my memory!

The second half is more stats and reflections on the previous 250 episodes, including lessons learned, the different stages of the podcast, what is to come for the next 250 and much more! Thanks to everyone tuning in, and here is to the next 250!

Cheers, James

Episode 150 with Ross Borden - Humble Beginnings at Matador Network to GuideGeek, the Future of Travel With AI

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 00:41:14 -0400

Hello, and welcome to Episode 150 with Ross Borden, the founder and CEO of Matador Network. First of all, thanks for joining me on this journey to the 150th guest episode; it has been unreal!

So, what better way to finish the first 150 episodes than with a special episode with Ross, who has created one of the biggest online travel brands in Matador Network? Matador is the leading online travel publisher with over 140 million monthly video views. Fast Company has named it one of 2024's Most Innovative Companies for its groundbreaking use of AI to create the most accessible and accurate AI travel assistance, GuideGeek.

In this episode, we will discuss Matador's humble beginnings at the top of a mountain in Peru, why Ross turned down a finance internship to work with a travel company in Kenya, how he befriended a travel agent in Madrid to travel Europe for free while improving the agent's sales, and one of his favourite experiences swimming with whales in Tonga.

We discuss Matador Network's current trajectory with GuideGeek, the AI travel assistant. We talk about how AI can change travel in the future and why we should embrace it. Ross is currently one of the leading people in travel using AI.

It is an episode combining wanderlust and an ambition to share amazing travel stories with the world (Matador Network). Not only will you be inspired to travel the world, but you will also be inspired to write that first travel blog or start that first travel podcast or YouTube channel. Whether Ross is talking about his dirtbag travel lifestyle in Peru or his vision for AI in travel, there is something for everyone in this conversation!

Thanks, Ross, for coming on!

Enjoy. Be inspired!

Episode 149 - Travelling w/ Rikimah Glymph - Solo Female Travel to 120 Countries (72 with her son) + Senegal is her favourite!

Mon, 08 Jul 2024 03:52:57 -0400

Hello, and welcome to episode 149 with Rikimah Glymph. This week, we are talking about Rikimah's amazing journey of travelling solo to over 120 countries, 72 of which have been with her son, who is only 12!

She has hosted wellness retreats and logistics conferences all over the world. When not traveling she’s dreaming of her next trip! Having a career in the travel industry made it a natural transition for Rikimah to purchase a Cruise Planners franchise. Cruise Planners allows her to not only book the best travel itineraries for her wellness clients, but it also allows her to offer deals and top picks for people interested in other types of travel.

In the episode, we discuss why Senegal is her favourite country and why she loves its national dishes the best! We also delve into the world of solo female travel, and there are some great tips here if anyone is looking for advice. Rikimah is a foodie and tells us why this is one of the most important parts of her travels.

Rikimah is originally from California but is now based in Maryland. She tells us the reasons for her move to the East Coast of the USA. Her first international trip was six weeks in South Africa, and we chatted about that experience. This episode has so many nuggets, along with some classic wanderlust.

Rikimah's infectious laugh and outlook on life and travel made this a fun recording. If you want to get into the wellness space or need help booking a trip, Rikimah's services are below. Check them out and get travelling the world today!

Enjoy. Be inspired!

Why we came back to live in Vancouver and my thoughts on other places to live in Canada

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 03:50:03 -0400

Hello, and welcome to this latest solo episode. I thought I would check in about returning to Vancouver to live (for the time being) and the reasons behind it. I briefly discuss our other options in Canada, our thoughts on them from last year's road trip, and why we ultimately didn't move anywhere new.

The second half of the episode includes my thoughts on areas within Vancouver worth exploring and possible options for living if you move here. Just remember to bring your cash; this is a very expensive country to live in and travel in, so be ready!

Thanks for tuning in, and be inspired!

Episode 148 - Travelling w/ Will Hatton (The Broke Backpacker) - A $3K Budget For 2 Years In India, A Serial Entrepreneur + Snapchat Tour...

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 04:52:45 -0400

Hello, and welcome to episode 148 with Will Hatton, more commonly known as the Broke Backpacker. This was such a super fun episode to record. There were so many laughs, quality anecdotes, and serious tips for budding travellers or entrepreneurs.

Will has set up around 30 different businesses in his time, with some successes and failures along the way. He lays out all the lessons learned from those experiences. He talks us through how he created a tour in Pakistan on Snapchat, and in 24 hours, it sold out and how this helped him develop the Broke Backpacker brand. Towards the end of the episode, there is talk about his new business venture in Bali with Tribal Hostel.

Will has travelled extensively over the last fifteen years and talks about his travels in India in the early days before social media. He talks about sending updates to his thirty-person strong email list about his travels. He survived on $3000 for two years in India and talked us through his techniques for this sensational statistic. We talk about Pakistan, Iran and South America for more travel wanderlust.

We both come from fairly similar backgrounds in England, growing up on council estates and thinking of joining the armed forces. We ponder how different our lives could have been if we had both followed through with those plans at the time.

There is so much packed into this hour for all kinds of travellers here. Whether you are a backpacker, digital nomad, entrepreneur or adventurer, we cover all bases. I had a super fun, engaging chat with Will, and it was a pleasure to talk to him for an hour.

Enjoy. Be inspired!

Hello, and welcome to number 145. This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Scott Gurian, a journalist, adventure traveller, podcaster, and reporter. Scott joined me to discuss his adventures on the Mongol Rally, visiting Chornobyl, witnessing an Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru, and more. I begin the episode by asking how Scott got interested in travel and where his early journey took him. One of the stories was about Mexico but not Cancun for Spring Break. We also talk about Scott's podcast, Far From Home, which is a travel podcast that immerses the listener in the travel experience. I have a clip from Scott's Ayahuasca Retreat embedded in the episode.

Scott is a fantastic storyteller, podcaster, and journalist, and his stories are captivating. I absolutely love his podcast work, as you really feel part of the journey. Below are some of the links to get acquainted with Scott's work. This is a fantastic episode to get those travel juices flowing!

How Australia Changed My Life

Tue, 07 May 2024 00:16:32 -0400

Hello, and welcome to my next solo episode. This one is a little story about how Australia changed my life in 2010; going on to my year-long work permit in 2013/14 and my two visits since then. Australia was the gateway to me experiencing a completely new country outside of Europe and also presented an opportunity to earn some decent money to travel more of the world. I talk about this and more in this episode, and I always long to be back there every week.

Enjoy. Be inspired!

Episode 144 - Travelling With Judith Keys - My Best Friend In France Podcast

Mon, 29 Apr 2024 03:30:03 -0400

Hello, and welcome to number 144. This week, I am joined by Judith Keys from the My Best Friend In France Podcast, which focuses on English-speaking people migrating to France and offers a community and advice for this type of move. Judith is originally from Northern Ireland and moved to France ten years ago. She lives in Providence, in the south of France, and yes, I had to ask her, is it the quintessential French life that we all imagine she is living in? Tune in to find out the answer! We delve into how important learning French is to settling in as a permanent resident, how vital the French take workers' rights and lunch breaks, areas of France to visit and some top tips for getting started in France. Judith loves France and is fully fluent in French, so she has a great grasp of life there from an outside view.

Judith's podcast below is for English speakers looking to move to France or are already there and need familiar voices to speak about their concerns, advice on how to get started and a community of like-minded people. Judith also has a subscription portion to the podcast where she co-hosts with a teacher, and they converse in French and offer games/tasks to help you improve at speaking French. Lastly, Judith has a cooking podcast, too, if you are a foodie! Let's get stuck into the episode!

Enjoy. Be inspired!

The Best of Rachel Fox’s Hilarious Travel Stories - Abuelo Horses, Sleeping At Gas Stations in Honduras, Socorro in Brazil + Strong Wind

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 04:10:57 -0400

Welcome to this week's solo episode. I am accumulating the best travel stories from my previous guest, Rachel Fox. Rachel has appeared on the episode five times, and I put together the funniest travel stories for you. We hear her speaking to a horse, how she took 36 hours to cross the border from Honduras, shouting Socorro at the worst possible time in Brazil, the devasting case of money she missed out on when sailing from Panama to Colombia, and so much more! Prepare yourself for some ridiculous anecdotes and some good ole laughs. Enjoy!

Cheers, Hammo.

Episode 139 - Travelling With Harry Mitsidis - Travelling To Every UN Country Twice, Equatorial Guinea + NomadMania

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 07:13:19 -0400

Hello, and welcome to number 139! Today, I am joined by Harry Mitsidis, who has travelled to every UN country in the world...twice. Harry also runs the NomadMania community, a hub where every traveller can track their travels down to very little detail. In this bumper episode, we discuss Harry's introduction to the world of travel, how he is still finding his place in the world, how he completed every UN country by the age of 36, the funny coincidence with Equatorial Guinea, why Naura is one of his favourite places, what is a country, Harry's travel style and so much more!

Harry's laid-back, conversational style and quirky answers provide an easy-listening, long-format interview. I tried to ask Harry some unique questions, as he is a regular on many travel podcasts, and I think I surprised him with a few. A true gentleman and a pleasure to interview. Check it out and enjoy.

Be inspired!

Episode 137 - Travelling With Tyler Wittkofsky - Full-Time Traveller, Writer, Podcaster + Coffee Lover

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 05:02:23 -0400

Hello, and welcome to number 137! Today, I am joined by Tyler Wittkofsky, who now lives full-time on his RV based in the USA. After quitting his corporate job last year, Tyler is now a full-time digital nomad in marketing, writing, podcasting, blogging and content creation. Tyler is a creative force delving into many aspects of the creative spectrum. He has a fascinating story, and he is now embarking on a two-year trip in his RV around the USA before travelling to Canada in 2026. You can hear why he loves coffee and craft beer, supporting independent authors, writing several books, travel plans for the next 3-5 years, and why the corporate lifestyle wasn't for him.

Enjoy and be inspired!

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 00:53:40 -0400

Hello and welcome to this new format for my solo episodes 2024, a much more structured concept covering travel news, travel stories, guest reactions, did you know?/travel facts, brand updates, audience questions, and a travel joke.

A disclaimer in this episode: as I was travelling whilst recording this one, I couldn't use my best microphone, unfortunately, but the sound is good enough for release!

In this episode, I cover Kenya's new e-visa process, passport rankings, the places I am visiting in 2024, the new 'Suprise Travel' concept for 2024, a grim travel story about chickpeas, Bhutan facts, and so much more! I hope you like the new episode, and let me know what you think!

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 15:11:51 -0400

Hello, and welcome to number 136! Happy 2024, and we are back with our first guest interview of the year! Today, I am speaking to Kayla Ihrig, who has just released her book How To Be A Digital Nomad, and we talk about this book and her digital nomad journey. Kayla has a wealth of knowledge about the digital nomad space, and her book is fantastic. Please click the links below to check out her website and where to buy it.

We talk through Kayla's journey from Chicago to moving to Holland. Then, we delve into some of the chapters in the book to discuss certain aspects of working remotely. We cover how much you need to have saved to make the leap, where you can work around the world, digital hygiene, the ups and downs of nomad life, what jobs you can attain, and so much more! Kayla talks about how important LinkedIn has been for getting her book deal and how she leverages Pinterest.

Enjoy and be inspired!

Episode 128 - Travelling With Terry Repak - Circling Home: What I Learned By Living Elsewhere

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 03:17:27 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 128! This week I am joined by Terry Repak who has worked as an investigative reporter, an editor, a television producer, a research fellow and a freelance writer. Today, we talk about Terry's new book Circling Home: What I Learned By Living Elsewhere and I absolutely loved reading it! Terry covers her life living in the Ivory Coast during the Aids Epidemic and supporting her partner, Stefan in his work to help the local people there. We then delve into her life in Atlanta before she set off again to Africa to live in Tanzania. We finished the discussion with her final country of Switzerland before settling in the USA. A super fascinating read about all the challenges and highlights which come with such moves.

I urge you to buy this book using the links below as you will be immersed into Terry's relationships whilst living abroad, the amazing nature she witnessed as well what it is like to go home after such different experiences.

Enjoy and be inspired!

The USA Road Trip Days 71-75 – Rhode Island, Connecticut + New York – Providence, New York City + Woodstock (Bethal Woods)

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 04:14:00 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 37th episode of my trip! Today's episode is the 14th one of our road trip across Canada and the USA. When leaving to backpack the world this year, we always intended to return to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the East Coast in July.

This is the second episode of the USA road trip as we enter some new states like Rhode Island and Connecticut as well as going to one of my previous states, New York. We planned a day trip to Providence which had an awesome historic feel to it like Boston. Then we changed our minds on this roadtrip to go to New York City, we just couldn't resist. So we decided to stay in Darien in CT then train it in to Grand Central Station for both days. Near the top of our list for this trip was going to Bethal Woods to see the farm and museum for the Woodstock Festival, I loved it! In between all of that we went to the hippy town of New Paltz, love the vibe there!!

The places visited - Rhode Island, New York + Connecticut - Providence, Darien, New York City, New Paltz + Bethal Woods

Total KMs - Defo past 13,000kms

Episode 127 - Travelling With Renee Bruns - Wheelchairing Around The World To 118 Countries

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 05:35:02 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 127! This week I am joined by Renee Bruns who is a wheelchair super traveller having travelled to 118 countries to date, all 50 states, been to every continent and holds a Guinness World Record. I was really keen to learn what it is like to travel as a wheelchair user and how difficult it is or not for Renee. Renee was super awesome in this episode by being honest about the difficulties of travel and what it was like growing up with her disability. Please check out Renee's stuff below and I can not wait to meet her at the Extraordinary Travel Festival where she is a speaker.

The Canada Road Trip Days 48-52 - Prince Edward Island - The Greenest Campsite, Squeaking Sand + Local Potatoes

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 02:42:21 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 33rd episode of my trip! Today's episode is the tenth one of our road trip across Canada and the USA. When leaving to backpack the world this year, we always intended to return to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the East Coast in July.

In this episode, I am covering our amazing time on Prince Edward Island which is a province on an island. We kick off this episode with one of the best buys of all time, picking up some spuds for $5 from a local farm. Then we checked out the capital Charlottetown as we started to see those colourful houses. Naturally, we strayed over to a couple of National and Provincial Parks. To finish off our time there was one of my favourite beaches on my travels this year, it was out of this world! Stunning colours and scenery in this one and what a place to visit!!

The places visited - Prince Edward Island - Charlottetown, Cavendish National Park + Red Point Provincial Park

Total KMs - what are these?

The Canada Road Trip Days 42-47 - Toronto + On The Road - 1.30am Bathroom Drama, Travel Podcasters Meet + Trendy Avocado On Toast

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 14:09:57 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 32nd episode of my trip! Today's episode is the ninth one of our road trip across Canada and the USA. When leaving to backpack the world this year, we always intended to return to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the East Coast in July.

In this episode, I am covering our time in Toronto checking out the CBD, Kensington Market area as well as Little Italy. I was lucky enough to get a tour around Erin Hyne's (host of the Curious Tourism Responsible Travel Podcast + previous guest) local area as she took us to three cafes as well as gave us a guided tour of the streets around Kensington Market. We met in person for the first time and it was great to chat about travel, life and podcasting. In the midst of Toronto was some drama with our Airbnb (more in the episode) and we thank Madz for letting us stay in her flat to get some home living again. A lot of walking, drinking coffee, hanging out with my friend Tom and checking out the city.

The last two days were driving days as we made our way to Prince Edward Island but on the way, I got to meet Ted Cragg who is another travel podcast and previous guest on the episode. Very kindly he let us stay in his house and we got to talk about travel and podcasting in person which was great. You can check out the guest episode before this one as we got a new episode recorded for this podcast. What a great few days!

The places visited - Toronto + driving through Quebec + New Brunswick

Total KMs - Hmm

Episode 123 - Travelling With Ted Cragg + James Hammond In A Post COVID-19 World

Mon, 28 Aug 2023 16:40:34 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 123! This week I am joined by Ted Cragg for a second time as we record an episode in his new podcast studio at his house. I stayed with Ted for a night on my Canadian road trip as we made our East! It was great to meet Ted in person and catch up! In this episode we talk about both of our travels this year and what it is like to travel in a post-Covid world. Ted travelled with his family in Europe earlier this year for three months and I was keen to hear how he got on. We also talk a bit about my road trip across Canada which will be slightly different content to the solo episodes.

Ted is a podcast host and runs his own podcast management business so please check out his stuff below.

The Canada Road Trip Days 36-41 - Montreal + Niagara Falls - Apartment Living, Weird Doors + A Niagara Soaking

Sat, 26 Aug 2023 16:58:14 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 31st episode of my trip! Today's episode is the eighth one of our road trip across Canada and the USA. When leaving to backpack the world this year, we always intended to return to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the East Coast.

In this episode, I am covering our time in Montreal + Niagara Falls. It was great to get some apartment living in as we stayed at a mutual friend's apartment in Montreal. We checked out all the main sites in Montreal including Mile End, The Old Town, Waterfront and Mont Royal Park. I finish the episode with an awesome day out at Niagara Falls with my friend Tom from Norwich who flew over to Canada for a wedding and holiday. Of course, there are some weird quirky stories of the AirBnBs we booked for both Montreal and Toronto.

The places visited - Montreal + Niagara Falls

Total KMs - I give up!

The Canada Road Trip Days 31-35 - La Mauricie National Park + Quebec City - A Lack Of French, Red Chairs + Seeing A New Friend

Thu, 24 Aug 2023 01:17:16 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 30th episode of my trip! Today's episode is the seventh one of our road trip across Canada and the USA. When leaving to backpack the world this year, we always intended to return to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the East Coast.

In this episode, I am covering our trip from Ottawa to La Mauricie National Park then onto Quebec City. This wasn't the initial plan but we changed our minds over coffee due to the ridiculous prices of staying in Canadian cities on the weekend. It turned out great however as I describe the amazing La Mauricie National Park, they had the best facilities for a campsite to date! Then we marvelled in the Old Town of Quebec City as we wandered around the cobbled streets and checked out the huge Fairmont Hotel on the hill overlooking the city. A magical place you have to check out!

The places visited - La Mauricie National Park + Quebec City

Total KMs - Still no idea anymore!

The Canada Road Trip Days 26-30 - Thunder Bay, Pukaskwa National Park + Ottawa - Lake Superior Magic, Being A Tourist + Truck Stop Nights

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 06:30:02 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 29th episode of my trip! Today's episode is the sixth one of our road trip across Canada and the USA. When leaving to backpack the world this year, we always intended to return to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the east coast.

In this episode, I am covering our trip from Thunder Bay to Ottawa via Pukaskwa National Park. We had our first truck stop night (which was free) and now we are hooked so you get to hear about that experience as well as me getting stung by a wasp for the first time. Then we had a dreamy two nights in Pukaskwa National Park which ticked every box we were looking for in terms of nature and campsites. We hit a milestone by reaching the halfway point on the Canadian Highway 1 (a great achievement for us!). Then we finish this episode with Ottawa which is the beginning of the city break phase as we go into Ontario and Quebec. Enjoy!

The places visited - Thunder Bay, Pukaskwa National Park + Ottawa

The Canada Road Trip Days 21-25 - Riding National Park, Winnipeg + Kenora - Tight Camp Spots, Crappy Roads + Lakeview Drives

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 20:02:45 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 28th episode of my trip! Today's episode is the fifth one of our road trip across Canada and the USA. When leaving to backpack the world this year, we always intended to return to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the east coast.

In this episode, I am covering our trip from Regina to Riding National Park in Manitoba all the way to Thunder Bay in Ontario. A serious amount of ground is covered in this one as we smash past 1000 km. Riding National Park was a little dream of a place by Clear Lake, a must-visit in Manitoba. We then headed for our first big city break in Winnipeg where we rented out an Airbnb to have a day of doing nothing as well as discovering the city on either side of that break. We survived the awful roads of Winnipeg as we headed out East towards Thunder Bay via Kenora which was a 700 km day! A lot of driving in this one with great views. We finish off with a free night at a boat launch to pull back on the overspend of our budget.

The places visited - Riding National Park - Clear Lake, Winnipeg, Kenora + Thunder Bay

Total KMs - 1700kms!

Episode 122 - Travelling With Urmi Hossain In Bangladesh, Malta, Dominican Republic + Mexico

Mon, 14 Aug 2023 17:03:51 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 122! This week I am joined by Urmi Hossain who is travelling the world as a Bengali-Italian and she shares some great insights from her experiences on the road. We delve into her native homes of Italy and Bangladesh as well as the Dominican Republic, Malta, Mexico and her current home of Montreal, Canada. Urmi grew up in Italy to Bangladeshi parents and I wanted to delve into this unique combination. I had to ask Urmi about the food situation and she gives a very cool answer to that. Urmi also talks us through her parent's decision to move to Italy, how it was to grow up in Italy and how travel has become an important part of her life.

Currently, Urmi lives in Montreal and professionally she is empowering women in the Finance sector and is a mentor, YouTuber, blogger, self-published author and speaker. She is an expert in personal growth and is a panellist for 100 Women In Finance. Please check out Urmi's Linktree below for everything we discussed.

Thu, 03 Aug 2023 02:29:36 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 27th episode of my trip! Today's episode is the fourth one of our road trip across Canada and the USA. When leaving to backpack the world this year, our intention was always to come back to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the east coast.

In this episode, I am covering our trip from Canmore to Calgary for our first visit to a big city. Of course, we had to stop off in Canmore as it is one of my favourite places on Earth! Then we make our way to Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan whilst massacring crickets and moths along the way. We stop off in Medicine Hat too for a coffee. To finish the episode we finish with another city in Regina for a whistlestop tour of this small city. Lots of stories in this one as we make our way through the middle part of Canada.

The places visited - Canmore, Calgary, Grasslands National Park + Regina

Total KMs - 1300kms!

The Canada Road Trip Days 10-15 - Penticton, Nelson + Two Jacks Lake - Sweaty Van Nights, Majestic Lakes + My New Hammock

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 17:00:02 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 26th episode of my trip! Today's episode is the third one of our road trip across Canada and the USA. Our intention when leaving to backpack the world this year was always to come back to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the east coast.

In this episode I am covering our trip from Vancouver to Penticton and then onto Nelson before hitting Two Jacks Lake in The Rockies. We learnt a lot in these five days such as the heat making our van very sweaty to sleep in, how amazing the Naramata wine region is and why we haven't done it before! Nelson was a cute little town on our way to The Rockies and we found shade and coolness, sigh! We also checked out Canada's smallest city! Amazing roads, lots of lakes, awesome campgrounds and some alcohol in this one, check it out!

Please follow, subscribe and rate as there are a lot more episodes to come!

Places visited - Penticton, Naramata, Greenwood, Nelson + Two Jacks Lake.

Total KMs - 1300kms!

Hello and welcome to the 25th episode of my trip! Today's episode is the second one of our road trip across Canada and the USA. Our intention when leaving to backpack the world this year was to always come back to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the east coast.

Some amazing spots in here such as Savary Island which is a hot tip for BC. We check out Telegraph Cove which is a cute little spot near Port Hardy but for some reason i neglected to include it in this episode. Please follow, subscribe and rate as there are a lot more episodes to come!

Places visited - Port Hardy and Telegraph Cove on Vancouver Island. Powell River, Lund, Robert's Creek, Sechelt and Francis Point on the Sunshine Coast. Savary Island off the coast of Lund.
Total KMs - 630

Episode 117 - Travelling With Nina + Q From Travelling By Pedalling - Holland to Iran, South East Asia + Japan

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 23:48:29 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 117! This week I am joined by Nina and Q, also known as Travelling By Pedalling and these guys have just finished a two-year bikepacking trip! Today we talk about the lead-up to them quitting their jobs in the healthcare sector which took a toll on them during COVID. We then talk through their route from Holland to Iran. Not all plain sailing though as Nina broke her wrist in Austria so they had to postpone the trip during the winter. However, they were back on the road in the Spring and we talk through right up to Iran. Unfortunately, we didn't get time to dig into much of the South East Asia portion of their trip however, there is some excellent chat in there still. We finish in Japan as they took a break from biking due to a few more accidents and instead, they went on a 1000km in Japan. You can check out more on their trip using the links below!

Busan + Gyeongju, South Korea - Stunning Rolling Green Hills, Pristine Beaches + Bustling Busan

Fri, 30 Jun 2023 22:07:48 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 23rd episode of my trip! In today's episode, I will be covering the second half of our time in South Korea which was Busan and Gyeongju. This will also be the last solo episode of our backpacking trip this year as we go into a new phase of our travels which is revealed in the summary episode after this one. Busan is South Korea's second city with amazing beaches in a bustling city and they are gunning for the Expo 2030 so a lot going on! We also took a day trip to Gyeongju which is where you will find stunning scenery amongst traditional Korean villages. Both were amazing places that I would highly recommend. Those rolling green hills in Gyeongju are to die for, aaaah!

Episode 115 - Travelling With Tor Midtboe - Combining Trail Running + Travelling

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 04:36:55 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 115! This week I am joined by Tor Midtboe who I met in Nepal when doing the Langtang Valley Trek. I first spotted Tor legging it past me as I was crawling up the trail toward Langtang Village then I managed to catch him in Kyanjin Gumpa. We met at a cafe and got chatting about travelling then five hours later we wandered back to our guesthouse. What really intrigued me was that Tor was trail-running the Langtang trek and then hiking back to Kathmandu afterwards. I wanted to hear firstly how was it combining both travel and trail-running and secondly in altitude like Nepal.

A month later, we caught up on Zoom for this interview where we discuss his 7-month backpacking adventure in Asia then we delve into the trail-running portion of that trip. We talk about racing in Thailand, an amazing trail in Taiwan and of course, our time in Nepal in Langtang. A classic backpacking tale this one with a slight twist in terms of the niche of running whilst travelling. Check it out!

5 Days In Seoul, South Korea - Happening Hongdae, A Ridiculous Amount Of Walking + Endless Amount Of Things To Do

Fri, 23 Jun 2023 23:44:18 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 22nd episode of my trip! In today's episode, I will be covering my five days in Seoul and what a surprise this city was! You may read that it is a slightly boring city but it was the opposite! There are super happening areas such as Hongdae, Gangnam and Gwangjang Market and traditional areas such as Ihwa Mural Village and Bukchon Hanok. The coffee scene is superb with so many options for a trendy coffee (I recorded two episodes for my other podcast on this). There are fantastic free museums to check out such as the War Memorial Exhibition and The National Museum of Korea. A lot of walking, sightseeing, eating, drinking coffee and becoming an expert on the metro system. So much to tuck into in this episode.

Episode 113 - Travelling With François-Xavier Paradis-Garneau - Hitchhiking The Congo Basin In The Democratic Republic of Congo

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 12:41:29 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 113! Frank Paradis returns for another bumper episode this week and we are talking about his three-month trip hitchhiking across the Congo River Basin in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Frank's plan was to enter overland from Angola and make it across to Uganda via the DRC jungle in the southwest to the northeast. Frank wanted to avoid planes and see as much on the ground as possible and trust me, this episode has some epic stories.

Frank talks us through some of his highs and lows such as running into rebels with machine guns, contracting Malaria with an almost devastating outcome, the amazing Congolese people who really helped him on his way, seeing the Bonobos in the wild whilst 'volunteering', having to wade through the jungle water in barefoot and so many more! There is a reason this episode is nearly three hours long. A truly unique story and one which will inspire some wanderlust in you.

7 Days in Taiwan - Taipei + Kaohsiung - Humidity, Bullet Trains + Night Markets

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 15:34:00 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 21st episode of my trip! In today's episode, I will be covering my week in Taiwan as I visited Taipei and Kaohsiung. There is plenty of information on night markets, areas we visited, how good the coffee scene is and of course some budget ideas. One week was nowhere near enough for this amazing little island and it has been added to my 'return' list. There is just so much more to explore.

My 9-Day Langtang Valley Trek In Nepal May 2023

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 15:40:38 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 20th episode of my trip! In today's episode, I will be covering my 9-day trek in Langtang Valley, Nepal. As of April 1st, 2023, the Nepalese government decided to pass a new law about needing a guide when trekking in Nepal so I cover that scenario from what I have seen on the ground and heard from other trekkers. I did end up having a guide so I cover the cost of the whole 9 days of the trek including transport, guide fees, food, water, accommodation and everything else in between!

This was an amazing experience in the Himalayas but it came with some lessons learnt and an unfortunate story attached. I talk through the highs and lows of this journey. If you want to see the amazing Langtang area from my own eyes then check out my social media for photos and videos. What a trek!

Episode 110 - Travelling With Sahara Rose De Vore - The Travel Coach Network

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 19:35:17 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 110! This week I am interviewing Sahara Rose De Vore who owns the Travel Coach Network and is a Wellness, Travel, Tech + Marketing Consultant. She is also a TEDx speaker and regularly speaks at events all around the USA for businesses and corporations talking about wellness and travel within the company culture. In 2019 she wrote the book Hey You, Just Go! which details her travels up to the age of 30 where she travelled to 80 countries in total. We also talk about mental health and how that led up to Sahara Rose travelling after college which is a really nice angle to discuss on the podcast. Travel Pulse have named Sahara Rose as one of 2023's Most Influential Women and it was an honour to interview Sahara Rose. So much inspiration in this one and I am excited to get it out there.

Enjoy and be inspired!

Saida, Tyre, Anjar + Baalbek, Lebanon - UNESCO Tyre, Unexpected Experiences + Stunning Baalbek Ruins - A 100 Rota Viagens Tour

Sat, 15 Apr 2023 20:11:54 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 10th episode of my trip! Today's episode is the second part of my mini Lebanon Series as I travelled there for 10 days with the 100 Rota Viagens Tour Group. Midway through the tour we checked out the southern parts of Lebanon in Saida and Tyre. Then we headed east towards the Syrian border to visit Anjar and Baalbek. Saida has souks and a fort whilst Tyre has an amazing UNESCO site which is a stunning attraction with no crowds and which is also amazingly preserved (one of the best in the world). They are also coastal towns so you get the cool vibe too. Then Anjar and Baalbek both have UNESCO sites too which you have to visit. So many jaw dropping sites that my audio podcasting skills can not get across what I saw. Get on that plane and go! Enjoy! Be inspired!

Beirut, Lebanon - Human Connections, Divisions + The Corniche - A 100 Rota Viagens Tour

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 20:06:44 -0400

Hello and welcome to the 9th episode of my trip! Today's episode is the start of my mini Lebanon Series as I travelled there for 10 days with 100 Rota Viagens Tour Group. The tour was 9 days and I was there a day early to soak up the Beirut atmosphere. This trip was super intense and I am still digesting it! In this episode, I cover the first 3/4 days of my time on the tour in Beirut. I tried to cover as much as possible but there were a few things I missed such as seeing the Murr Tower, the National Museum and some food places but I captured the things that are the most important for me to share with you. Beirut grabbed me and here is my solo episode on it. Enjoy! Be inspired!

Episode 108 - Travelling With Miyuki Seguchi In Japan - Japan Experts Podcast

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 15:05:50 -0400

Kon'nichiwa and welcome to number 108! This week I am interviewing Miyuki Seguchi from the Japan Experts Podcast. Miyuki lives in Japan and helps tourists plan their trip to Japan by offering advice on what to see, where to go, the traditional Japanese experiences and so much more. Alongside that, her podcast offers more information about Japan for the international traveller. This was such a fun episode to record as I learnt more about Japan despite travelling there for four weeks in 2018. This should get your Japanese juices flowing and get you booking that trip. I hope you enjoy the episode and please check out Miyuki's stuff below. Sayonara.

Enjoy and be inspired!

Tooth Extractions, Trendy Brunches and Museums in Budapest + Vienna

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 10:18:55 -0400

Hello and welcome to the sixth episode of my trip! In this one I am covering my time in Budapest, Hungary and Vienna, Austria. You will get to hear about my tooth extraction in Budapest. Our hostel was very much like the ones in India, so colourful. We walked and walked and walked in Budapest checking out the sights and the brunches. Then Vienna was a dream to end our interrail trip with as we marvelled at the huge white buildings, the endless museums on offer and of course the world class cafe culture. This is the last for mainland Europe and next I move into Turkey then Lebanon. Enjoy! Be inspired!

Episode 106 - Travelling In Slovenia With Dr Noah Charney From The Feel Slovenia Podcast

Mon, 13 Mar 2023 04:55:01 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 106! This week I am in Ljubljana, Slovenia to meet with Dr Noah Charney for a coffee and burger to talk all things Slovenia! Noah is a Professor of Art History at the University of Ljubljana and is the founder of ARCA (the Association of Research into Crimes Against Art). At the same time he is the unofficial ambassador for the Slovenia Travel Board as he hosts their official podcast called the Feel Slovenia Podcast. Slovenia may not be a destination at the front of your mind for a trip but after this chat, I think it will be. We cover Ljubljana, Lake Bled, top places to see other than the main two mentioned before, food, language, culture, sport, coffee, wine and so many other great tips! If you need to hear more about people's experiences in Slovenia then you can check out Noah's podcast too below.

Enjoy and be inspired!

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 21:27:00 -0400

Hello and welcome to the third episode of my trip! In this one I am covering my journey from Luzern to Liechtestein to see another micro-nation. Want some tips for a whistlestop tour in Liechtestein? Then this is the episode for you! Also I will cover my trip on the Bernina Express from Chur in Switzerland to Tirano in Italy through the Alps. The train through the Alps was sensational as we had a clear day of weather so snow capped mountains were on the cards as well viaducts. I describe all in this episode as well as finishing it with our stop over in Verona on our way to Venice. This proved to be a spectacular suprise as well. Enjoy! Be inspired!

From Free Public Transport in Luxembourg To $6 Coffees in Switzerland

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 11:35:28 -0400

Hello and welcome to the second episode of my trip! In this one I am covering my two days in Luxembourg and then my time in Zurich and Luzern. Luxembourg has free public transport so we made use of that to visit Vianden Castle as well as Luxembourg City. In Switzerland I cover the different vibes of Zurich and Luzern as well as some tips for budget travel there. We were shocked when we saw coffees at $6 and that was just the beginning of it. Saying that, I really enjoyed visiting both places and laid it all out in this episode. A highlight of the trip so far was our Swiss Chocolate Factory tour which was great value! Much more in the episode covered and I hope you enjoy it! Be inspired!

Episode 104 - Travelling In Paris With Oliver Gee From The Earful Tower Podcast

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 17:20:00 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 104! This week I have a super special episode for you as I meet up with Oliver Gee from The Earful Tower Podcast for a coffee in a Parisien cafe for an in-person chat. We cover why Oliver is based in Paris, the best districts to check out in central Paris, where to go for a great coffee, his personal unique tip for the best 'off the beaten track' activity in Paris and of course so much more! His podcast The Earful Tower is one of the leading travel podcasts in the world and has had over 2m downloads to date. I am so grateful Oliver made time for me and just be aware we are in a trendy cafe so there will be some background noise. Let's go travelling in Paris! You have to check out Oliver's podcast below too (if you don't already know it).

Enjoy and be inspired!

Winging It In Paris For 3 Days

Sat, 25 Feb 2023 07:12:00 -0400

Hello and welcome to the first episode of my trip! In this one I am covering my three days in Paris including budgeting, accommodation, dos and don'ts, what we saw, trendy cafes, croissants, public toilets, The Seine and much more! During this trip, I managed to catch Oliver Gee from the Earful Tower Podcast for an interview at a trendy cafe to talk more about Paris in person, this will be out next! All in all a fantastic start to the trip apart from developing an awful cough. It can't all go well! Should be some good stuff in this episode and for more of a deep dive into Paris, check out my interview with Oliver next week. Be inspired!

Episode 102 - Travelling With Victoria Wolf From GF Explorers - Full Time Living In A RV + Gluten-Free Travel

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 09:33:03 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 102! This week I am joined by Victoria Wolf who hosts the YouTube channel gfexplorers and also lives full time in a RV with her partner Rich in the USA. Victoria came on to talk about daily life of living on the road and the decisions made to transition to this lifestyle. Thrown into the mix is the fact that Victoria is gluten-free and dairy-free. I love cooking so please check out Victoria's YouTube channel below where she combines RV living and gluten/dairy-free cooking recipes.

This week I had so many questions ranging from the logisitics of such a move to the best things they see on the road. This is an ever increasing lifestyle choice in the USA and around the world which makes this episode super important. Victoria was super fun to speak with and had a great sense of humour, you will love this episode. Enjoy and be inspired!

Friday Series Episode 22 - What I Have Learnt From Every Guest So Far - Part 2

Sat, 04 Feb 2023 09:31:20 -0400

Welcome to the 22nd episode of this Friday Series and this week I compliment Episode 100 by kicking off the second part of three where I share what every guest has taught me and inspired me with when they have been guests on the podcast. This episode is starting to delve into the guests who were asked to come on or reached out to me for an interview, so a lot of people I hadn't met before. This was a great learning experience which I will use for when I interview people on the road when travelling. Part 3 will finish off the guests next week! Cheers for tuning in! Be inspired!

Friday Series Episode 21 - What I Have Learnt From Every Guest So Far - Part 1

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 07:08:31 -0400

Welcome to the 21st episode of this Friday Series and this week I compliment Episode 100 by kicking off part one of three where I share what every guest has taught me and inspired me with when they have been guests on the podcast. This episode is very friend heavy as in the early days of the podcast, I got my good friends from around the world to come on and talk about travel. It was super fun and really cool to reflect. Next week Part 2 will be more focused on people who I didn't know and what they taught me on our episodes as I got to know their story. Enjoy and be inspired!

Episode 99 - Travelling With Mikkel Thorup From Expat Money

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 05:30:02 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 99! This week I am joined by Mikkel Thorup who is the owner of Expat Money and has travelled to 110 countries. Mikkel has also lived in 9 countries today and currently resides in Panama City in Panama. We talk about his childhood in Canada and how that inspired him to go travelling for the last 20 years. Of course I had to delve into some countries out of that 110 so we talk about North Korea, Brazil, Iran and some of the countries he has lived in. I wanted to hear about how he started his current company and the lifestyle he created for himself. So much to unpack in this episode as we cover an array of subjects in lifestyle, travel, business and education. Enjoy! Be inspired!

The Decision - We Are Off Travelling In 2023 + Taking The Podcast On The Road

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 07:01:41 -0400

A special episode for you as I lay out the plans for our travels in 2023 and what is to come on the podcast! As mentioned at the start of the episode, we have decided to quit our jobs, leave Vancouver and go travelling. Super exciting and super nerve wracking. I talk about why we have made this decision, what happens to the podcast and of course some plans we have for our travels. This is actually a change in lifestyle for me as I want to be location independent and be able to travel anywhere I want at anytime! Please follow me on my YouTube channel as I will be relaunching that in Feb with my Greece Series and continuing that during my travels. I can not wait to get back on the road again to see the world but this time you can follow my travels as I document them on this podcast, on my YouTube channel and through my social media. Be inspired!

Episode 97 - Travelling With Jetsetter Julia - Full Time Travel + Indonesia

Wed, 28 Dec 2022 22:05:47 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 97! This week I am joined by Julia Masselos who is also known as Jetsetter Julia on social media. Julia has been a full time traveller for years now and we discuss this in depth with the highs, the lows, tips on how to do it, how she made the leap, current state of society, the digital nomad community and so much more! Originally Julia reached out to me as she was travelling in Indonesia at the time and I wanted a perspective of not just Bali. Based on that, we discuss Java and Bali and there is some candid chat in there. There is so much content in this episode and it was a pleasure to chat with Julia. She is currently hitchhiking in Argentina and you will some stories from Greece, Serbia, Scotland and Australia. Please check out her social media channels below and also her podcast which right now, she is revamping. Be inspired!

Hello and welcome to number 88! This week I am joined by Azdean Elmoustaquim who is the host of the Destination Morocco Podcast and tour company Destination Morocco. We take a real deep dive into Azdean's amazing country. We kick things off with hearing about Azdean's podcast/tour company and how it is helping people book trips in Morocco. Then we delve into all the places you can see in Morocco as well as those adventures people crave. Being a native of Marrakech we start there and then cover all the other great cities such as Fez, Rabat, Casablanca, Tangier as well as some other towns and cities. We also discuss the south of the country where you can check out the desert and the Berber people in the countryside. We cover all bases and if you want some real local information from a Moroccan national then this is the episode for you! You can check out Azdean below. Be inspired and get some couscous on the go. Enjoy!

Friday Series Episode 12 - Aitutaki, A Micro Nations Tour, Goodpods Recommendation + Vlogging

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 17:24:53 -0400

Welcome to the twelfth episode of this Friday Series and this week I give some reaction to Sondre's and Rachel's episodes the last few weeks, the awesomeness of Aitutaki, some reaction to my Goodpods recommendation, my intention to go into vlogging whilst traveling and future travels. Me and a few friends are coming up with an idea to do a Micro Nation Tour in Feb 2023 for one week. I think this would be a great podcast series in terms of the logistics, what you can see in a day or two in each of these places, cost, sights, coffee and so much more. Check out today's episode for more and thanks for helping me get recommended on Goodpods for their 'Team Pick' last week. Be inspired! James

Episode 87 - Travelling With Rachel Fox...Again - The Cook Islands, Cruise Ships + Sustainable Travel

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 04:51:32 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 87! This week I am joined again by Rachel Fox by popular demand with a clear result on my Instagram poll (UN Inspectors were present). Anyways, we dive into Rachel's recent trip to the Cook Islands where she shares the good and the bad. We cover the horrendous way to travel which is cruise ships with some bombshell facts shared by Rachel. We also candidly talk about sustainable travel and privilege. A super fun casual chat with my good friend Rachel and she gives the 'Travel Must Haves' feature a good go! Thanks to everyone who continually shares this podcast. Enjoy!

*This was recorded during the summer when it was ridiculously hot so you may hear the fan on my mic casually throughout the episode.

Episode 86 w/ Sondre Rasch From SafetyWing - Building An Online Country

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 04:12:00 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 86! This week I am joined by Sondre Rasch who is the Co-founder and CEO of SafetyWing. Sondre and I discuss SafetyWing's product to help remote workers and digital nomads. With their project Plumia, they are trying to create the first internet country for digital nomads. Currently, they offer travel/health insurance for individuals and remote teams. On their website, they also have a section with weekly updates on every country in the world and their current status with visas, restrictions and more.

We have interesting insights into the future of remote working, how Sondre's team have helped countries release Remote Working Visas, Sondre's podcast Building Remotely and of course we discuss some travel! A lot to take away in this episode and you can check out SafetyWing below, I certainly will be using them when I travel medium/long term next. I hope you enjoy the episode.

*Unfortunately we ran out of time for the Quick-fire Travel Questions at the end there but fear not, Sondre emailed me the answers to them and I have read them as an extra audio piece at the end.

Friday Series Episode 11 - Long Term Travel, Sandakan + Social Media

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 05:44:19 -0400

Welcome to the eleventh episode of this Friday Series and this week I give some reaction to the Live Let Roam episode this week, my ideas for the James Hammond Consultancy + some classic travel stories about Borneo. I give an oversight into what I learn from Eric and Christy about long term travel and how they make it work on the road full time. For a while I have been thinking of setting up some sort of consultancy relating to travel and podcasting so I share some ideas today about that. Lastly as always, I want to finish with some travel stories and this week I concentrate on our time in Borneo in 2017. Thanks for your support and enjoy.

Episode 85 - Travelling With Eric + Christy From The Live Let Roam Podcast In Greece, Albania, Spain + San Marino

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 04:39:53 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 85! This week I am joined by Eric + Christy from the Live, Let, Roam Podcast who are currently traveling. At the time of recording, they had just been in Europe for five months and have been slow traveling to soak up as much culture as possible. As we speak today of the release, they are in Mexico making their way down through the Americas. They have decided to podcast on the road to document their journey and they also have a blog for those avid readers. We talk about some of their favourite countries, what life is like when you slow travel, travel hacking, medium/long term travel plans, what it is like to podcast and travel at the same time as well as many other topics! This is a great episode and I hope it inspires you to make that leap into long term travel. Check out their podcast/blog below and be inspired. Enjoy.

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 05:56:49 -0400

Welcome to the ninth episode in this Friday series and this week I catch up with you all as I feel it has been a while! I get caught up on the last four guest episodes and give you an overview of some of my favourite bits of the episodes. I also give you a run down of my recent trip to Joffrey Lakes in British Columbia. Listen to find out how you get there, how to prepare, what to expect and more tips! To finish off this week's episode, I do a little quick fire question round to myself of all the summer trips I have been on this year. As summer is officially over, I thought I would sign off with some of my favourite parts. Thanks for tuning in and I will catch you next time!

Hello and welcome to number 81! This week I am joined by Veena Murali who travelled the world solo this year for 6 months to the most amazing destinations. As a solo female traveller in her early 20s, we get a great insight into what it is like to travel the world in 2022 as that demographic. We delve into the Stans to hear about the nervousness of travelling somewhere where no English is spoken. We learn about the current state of travel in Saudi Arabia for women. Veena tells us about the breathtaking scenery of Argentina How could I not ask Veena about Nepal? So we compare notes on Poon Hill before talking about South East Asia. We finish the main part of the conversation talking about the underrated Georgia in Europe.

The conversation was directed and based upon Veena's free travelogue which was written of her travels and this is called Far, Wide and Solo which can be downloaded for free using the link below or via her Instagram page. A super fun episode and I learnt a lot hearing about solo travel from Veena and we didn't even get to the Australia portion of her trip. Next time! I hope this episode inspires you travel and thanks for joining. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to number 77! This week I am joined by award winning UK travel writer and former Time Out journalist, Peter Fiennes. Peter and I talk about his latest book 'A Thing Of Beauty: Travels in Mythical and Modern Greece'. We delve into his trip during COVID times to Greece in search of Hope and the places mentioned in Greek mythology. Peter candidly talks about the challenges we face as a human race on climate change which can be seen in modern Greece. I ask about his favourite spots in Greece, his favourite myths, what he learnt from the locals and his previous stint with Time Out Magazine. It was a pleasure to talk to Peter about all things Greece and travel and you should check out his book below. Have a good one!

Friday Series Episode 4 - Hitchhiking Ambitions, Trendy Coffees + My New Side Gig

Fri, 05 Aug 2022 04:24:25 -0400

Welcome to the fourth episode in this Friday series and this week I give my reaction to Frank's hitchhiking philosophy, how I love my trendy coffees and my exciting new venture. I talk about how Frank has inspired me to really give hitchhiking a real good go and I need to find that temple on the top of the mountain in Taiwan. I want authentic monks, views and culture. Also in the pipeline is my new video/audio podcast about coffee and travelling so I talk about my new idea. Towards the end of I discuss that weird situation in travel where you have the best time of your life with a new group of friends for two days then you never see them again. Something to ponder. I hope you enjoy the episode. Be inspired!

Episode 76 - Travelling With François-Xavier Paradis-Garneau in Egypt, Sudan, China, Taiwan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan + Kazakhs...

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 07:24:56 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 76! This week I am joined by François-Xavier Paradis-Garneau (Frank) again who talks about his hitchhiking and travel adventures in Egypt, Sudan, China, Taiwan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan + Kazakhstan. Frank travelled to Egypt a few years back and made his way south to Sudan during their political turmoil. He was surprised by the very kind nature of the Sudanese and their hospitality when hitchhiking. We delve into some magic hidden temples in Taiwan. China was his first trip to Asia after Europe and he visited the Tibetan Autonomous region as well as going far west to Xinjiang. We finish off with some chat about travelling 'The Stans' and what each country has going for it. Another fantastic conversation with Frank who will be back on later in the year to talk about his travels in Africa. Enjoy and be inspired!

Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100015965017185 - please feel free to contact Frank anytime on Messenger if you have any questions about travel.

Hello and welcome to number 56! This week I am travelling with Emma Thomson who is a multi award-winning travel journalist who most recently was named Travel Writer of the Year in 2019 by the British Guild of Travel Writers and won National Consumer Feature of the Year at 2019 The Travel Media Awards. Emma is a regular contributor to National Geographic Traveller, The Telegraph, The Times and Wanderlust Travel Magazine to name a few. An experienced speaker she has given talks at the Nat Geo headquarters in Washington DC, the Frontline Club and Royal Geographical Society in London and can occasionally be hear on BBC Radio 4’s From Our Own Correspondent.

This week we delve into Emma's recent assignment in Sri Lanka, talk about her awesome trip with Wild Frontiers to Pakistan, discuss the wonder which is Iran, wax lyrical on our mutual passion for Bhutan as well as dip into wildlife travel in Zimbabwe. We also talk about the life of a travel journalist which Emma has been doing for 10+ years. Of course, I wanted to ask about her personal travel so Emma is tested with some tough quick fire travel questions at the end. You will love this episode as it will inspire you to get travelling and book that trip. Emma and I share a mutual passion for travel and you will hear that in this episode. Further more, Emma's dog Esme, was so excited, that she joined in for the introduction but it could be the fact that she anticipated that Emma would get her breed wrong when asked. Just to clarify, Emma's dog is a Cocker Spaniel, the Collie reference was blamed on tiredness, we accept that and move on. However, below are some links to Emma's articles that we reference during the recording and can all be found on her website. I implore you to check them out. Happy listening AND happy reading! Be inspired! Thanks for listening!

Episode 51 - Travelling With Matty Dyas in Haiti, Spain, Bangkok, Slovakia + Moldova

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 05:00:04 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 51! This week Matty Dyas from the Travel Bubble Podcast and the 4th best tour leader in the world with Intrepid Travel talks about his travel history to date. We discuss Matty living in Haiti for 6 months, how he has completed 17 ultramarathons, the dream of living in Bangkok for 3 years, his jobs teaching English in Spain and Slovakia and details of one of the most unique tours he leads with Intrepid in the Transnistria region in Moldova. A super interesting episode with lots of stories, tips and information about travel you probably have never heard before. This was super fun to record and I am excited to release this episode. Hope you enjoy!

NEW MERCHANDISE STORE - as mentioned in the intro, I am releasing a new merchandise store with teepublic.com which will be live on Friday 11th Feb. There will be a link to access the store with money off for the first 48hours. I will share on these notes and on social media channels when I have it.

Link - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/winging-it-travel-podcast?ref_id=25823

Just a note about Matty's own podcast called the Travel Bubble Podcast.

In a not-so-far-fetched, dystopian future, world authorities have put all citizens on lockdown.
Thankfully, you can still go on holiday but there is a catch- you can only choose 3 countries to visit for the rest of your life.
Every Wednesday, Matty Dyas talks to travel industry professionals, globetrotters and adventurers from all over the world. They tell us their Travel Bubble choices providing you with post-lockdown inspiration and an ever-growing travel bucket list.
The world's locked down and we can't travel, so let's do the next best thing and talk about it.

Details for Matty's podcast are below.

Episode 50 – Sports Travel With Mark Tisshaw in Australia, Ukraine, Brazil, Barbados, Antigua, Grenada, France + Russia

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Hello and welcome to number 50! To celebrate this milestone, Mark Tisshaw, a well known journalist in the car industry and a friend of mine for 20+ years joins me to talk about some of our epic trips. We concentrate on three big trips which have a sporting twinge to them.

We talk about our first long haul trip to Australia to watch The Ashes in 2010/11. Then we move on to our road trip from London to Ukraine for Euro 2012. Then we delve into the 2014 trip to Brazil for the FIFA World Cup. We briefly cover trips to the West Indies, France, Russia and of course some quick fire questions.

This is not only an episode about sport, we also talk about how you plan trips like this, how you figure things out without a smartphone, the beauty of unfiltered travel as well as sharing some stories from those trips. The journey always seemed to be better than the actual sporting event we watched. You don't want to miss this episode, this really was fun to record.

Hello and welcome to number 48! A solo episode this week as polled on Instagram which voted overwhelmingly in favour of recording a solo episode about my trip to the Yukon, Canada over Christmas. This week, I cover the costs of renting a car, our awesome Airbnb cabin, the logistics of booking this trip in the winter, what we saw, what we did and some great tips. We saw the Northern Lights, went dog sledding, experienced -35 degrees and saw some great wintery sights. I hope you enjoy the episode and inspire you to book that trip to Whitehorse, Yukon!

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 05:45:00 -0400

Welcome to Episode 42! The Cook Islands are re-opening on Jan 13th 2022 so I thought I would share my experience of my trip there in 2018. My partner and I went for two weeks in April/May and had a glorious time! There will be tips of places to visit on Rarotonga as well as Aitutaki. There are some details on the accommodation we stayed at, cafes/restaurants we ate and drank at, stories of nearly crashing scooters and of course our favourite beaches we frequented! The Cook Islands really should be at the top of your list for paradise and I hope this episode inspires you to book a trip in 2022! If you want to see my photos from our time there then watch this episode on my YouTube channel - Winging It Podcast. Those photos are some of the best I have taken! Enjoy! Meitaki Maata!

Episode 2 – One Week In Lub D, Bangkok, Thailand

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 06:37:00 -0400

Today, I am discussing about my week at Lub D, Bangkok in 2013. Lub D is a hostel chain in South East Asia and at the time, they had two hostels in Bangkok and we stayed at the one on Silom Road. This was the first place we landed at in South East Asia and we had a great week meeting fellow backpackers and seeing the sights of Bangkok. If you are curious to know what those first few initial nights are like when backpacking to a new country or area of the world, then this will help you understand how good it is.
