  • Don't Underestimate...the places we wouldn't go back to
    It's a classic backpacker conversation that's probably happening right now in thousands of hostel kitchens and dorm rooms - what are the place you wouldn't go back to? Of course it's completely subjective, but we thought we'd share our list! From big cities to slightly more obscure towns, we've got a few... so listen in and tell us if you agree xx

  • Don't Underestimate... Ko Tao
    Hello again friends! Strap yourselves in for a loopy chat about one of our fave place EVER, the beautiful island of Ko Tao in Thailand.

  • Don't Underestimate... Hostels that are like Love Island
    Love Island... It's a crazy world that we love to watch, but probably could never imagine ourselves being on. That was the case for us... until we backpacked Thailand.
    This week, we run you through why staying in hostels in Asia is basically like staring on Love Island ( the U.K version of course). We talk you through all the flirty fun, the grafting, and the wild and unpredictable atmosphere that really does make you feel like the main character...

  • Don't Underestimate... Off Season
    Oh the joys of off-season... it's that time of year when it seems that everyone, except us Aussies, has fled home. This week, we're delving into all the reasons why off-season is a slay time to travel. It's cheaper, quieter, and if you go to the right places - sometimes even better than peak season!
    But, how do you find the right places to go? Is there ever a right place to go? From Italy to the UK, to Ibiza's closing season weekend, we give you all the tips for the best places to spend your off-season... and explain how it could save you a ton of money.
    (P.S. We are very sorry about our audio being a bit sub-par this week... we're not sure what happened there! Will be back to normal next week, but in the meantime, we recommend listening without headphones for a more pleasurable listening experience :)

  • Don't Underestimate... Prague
    WE ARE BACK! And we are in Prague (we wish). But we are talking about Prague, because under no circumstances should it be underestimated. Prague is full of chimney cakes, goulash, flooded bars, castles and strict tour guides. Listen now for our take on what to do, eat and see in the fairytale town that is Prague. (P.S. PLS FORGIVE US FOR OUR SILLY BREAK)

  • Don't Underestimate... Timing
    This week we essentially talk each other through a quarter-life crisis as we tackle the question, 'when is the right time to go travelling?' There's no real answer to that (sorry lol), but we discuss what pushed us to set off for five months last year and share all our stray thoughts on the topic.

  • Don't Underestimate... Travel Icks

    We love travelling together, but after spending everyday side by side for months on end - you best believe we have a few travel icks for each other locked and loaded.

    If you haven't come across the idea of an 'ick' before (talking to you Mum and Dad), it's hard to pinpoint. Essentially, they're little things someone does that aren't necessarily annoying, but just make you feel... icky.

    Listen in as we share our travel icks for each other, exposing Molly for a questionable shoe choice and Tamsyn for her hypocritical food preferences.

    Also- check our TikTok @dontunderestimatepodcast, for a few cheeky extras.

  • Don't Underestimate... Legroom
    To recline or not to recline, that is the question (when one is on a plane). This week we share our take on this hotly debated topic.
    We also review our experience flying Scoot- the budget airline known for providing zero food and entertainment on long haul flights, because who needs that stuff anyway.
    Listen now to hear about Tamsyn's first experience of not being able to sleep on a plane, and how Molly found herself literally begging a flight attendant.

  • Don't Underestimate... The Power Of A Good Drink Bottle
    Emotional support water bottles are a very real thing, and going on adventures half-way across the world together only strengthens the bond. It may seem like a small thing, but a good drink bottle is hard to hold onto (for some of us). Listen in to this slightly delirious ep to hear a heartbreaking tale from Tamsyn, as well as how Molly earnt the rep as 'plastic water bottle girl'.
