November 07, 2023 Polynesia Minisode & Update [NEW PODCAST]
Hi everyone, Jac here! As many of you have probably assumed HDWNKT has come to an unofficial end. Nat and I both love the podcast but life took over and for now, this is the end of our journey with you all.

I do have some brighter news, that I am now working on my podcast and travel business called Customs Lah where I discuss all things related to travel.

🌴 ⁠linktr.ee/customslah⁠

Please enjoy the travel tips, itineraries, and content - I hope you consider following/subscribing and sending me your travel questions to help support!

Also, I could never do you guys dirty and just self-promote, so I did create a small minisode for you all. If any of you are scared of the ocean or going through a hard time in life right now, I hope this episode on the history of Polynesia inspires you to embrace the unknown and trust in your abilities to navigate tumultuous times. We've both been there, and I hope you enjoy it.

Nat and I want to say thank you for all of the support throughout the years, podcasting is not an easy task but it's because of the encouragement we received from you all that made the process a little easier.

Thank you for listening.
- Jac
