Don't Underestimate

Trains, buses, plains, ferries, cars... if you're going travelling, you're gonna use A LOT of transport.

And trying to figure it out in a brand-new place and in a language you probably know a total of three words of, is a recipe for confusion and chaos.

We think we've made enough mistakes now to offer a few handy tips, or at least tell you what not to do- like try to get away with fair evading in Italy or take 30 second tram rides.

This week we tell a little travel story from our recent SE Asian escapades; one that involves a place called Shark Bay, a Whatsapp man that made our dreams come true, matching tattoos and, you guessed it, emergency visas.

This ep is all about social media while travelling! We go through the good and the bad, before finishing off with our social media icks for each other. Hear about the time we chose to make a Tiktok instead of seeing a famous castle, the landmark Tamsyn didn't want a photo in front of, and how Molly accidentally recovered her attention span (for a month).

We're back this week from Thailand and are having major post-trip blue. So this ep, we try to make ourselves feel better by discussing all the little comforts of home that feel THAT good when you get back. Listen to hear us chat all about our showers, beds, fridges and socks!

We're back with another recommendation episode, this time we've headed to Italy and are chatting all about the Puglia region! It is an underestimated Italian beach destination, but we are here to convince you to add it to the itinerary. From pebble beaches, 4 euro pizza and the best gelato of our lives, there is a lot to explore!

Lagos is everything you want in europe summer all wrapped up in a little town at the bottom of Portugal. It has it all- beautiful beaches, fun hostels, great nightlife... and importantly, all-you-can-eat sushi! While we're away hopefully lying on a beach somewhere in Thailand, we're providing some recommendations for the places you shouldn't underestimate, and Lagos is first up!

Travel, and backpacking in particular, can be tiring and sometimes all you want is a soft bed! This ep we talk all about allowing yourself to take a rest, the times when we couldn't go on without a nap first, and then we share the story of the hardest bed in all of Italy!

As Aussies, we have definitely been guilty in the past of underestimating Americans- but that all changed when we started meeting loads of lovely, funny Americans in hostels! They get some hate, and maybe rightly so sometimes, but this week we are here to defend them... mostly. We share our most fascinating, humorous and heartwarming run-ins with Americans!

That last day before you set off on a trip is a mix of stress, packing, nerves, organisation and A LOT of excitement! We chat through that mix of emotions so you know what to expect, plus we discuss that first 24 hours when you arrive... nothing like the feeling of stepping off the plane!
