Don't Underestimate

Happy new year! We are kicking off 2025 with a slightly chaotic chat about a big decision we've just made about our trip. Please excuse the high levels of stress throughout the episode. Enjoy xx

The decision to go for check-in or carry-on luggage in South America is looming, and we're undecided. This week we chat through all the pros and cons of both options in a discussion that probably just confused us both more. Enjoy!

Staying safe is sometimes easier said than done while travelling. Unexpected situations can arise very suddenly, leading to some, yes, 'near death experiences'. This week, Tamsyn shares a story from her recent trip to the Philippines which illustrates this quite well.

On Don’t Underestimate, we like to be pretty open about money. This week, we’re chatting about the figure we’re trying to save for our 6 month South America and Europe trip. We’re talking about the randomness in coming up with the amount, how money provides flexibility and how one of us might be quite far off the saving goal…

We all love a cheeky South East Asia trip, so that’s exactly what we’re doing! This time, we’re doing separate trips. We talk all things traveling with friends vs traveling with fam, why we love a short, slay trip and what our expectations for each other are…

P.S. After the recent events in Laos, a reminder to stay safe in South East Asia. Sending our sympathies to the families and friends of the victims of this heartbreaking tragedy xx

We are officially Rio bound! Flights have been booked, jobs have been quit and spirits have been raised. Our South America trip is fast approaching and we cannot wait to record all the chaos to come on the pod. As a result, we've decided (cause we make the rules) that this is the beginning of Don't Underestimate Season 2. Enjoy some ramble from us to celebrate a new era!

This week we're talking all about the beautiful city of Vienna! We tell you all about how we were OBSESSED with its peaceful vibe, and how it's a must-do euro destination all year round. It's true what they say... Vienna waits for you! <3

When you're traveling, supermarkets often become your second home. Whether you're grabbing a quick snack or crafting a cheap dinner from local dips, meats, and cheeses, those overseas supermarkets become both essential AND iconic.

In this ep, we dive into our fav supermarkets from the places we've visited, the most memorable snacks we came across, and how not being able to read the packaging really can make the experience all the more interesting...

This week we bring you a mindset hack to travel, and maybe even life, that has time and time again served us well. It's pretty easy to get caught up in the idea and fantasy of a destination before you even step foot into the airport, but what if we all just lowered our expectations?

This week we are mentally in Slovenia (anywhere but cold Melbourne pls). With Slovenia surely on many travel bucket lists this Europe summer, Molly is talking us through all her biggest recommendations! From an eventful night out in Ljubljana, to all that Lake Bled has to offer, listen now to be transported to this stunning part of the world xx
