On this episode of Weird World Adventures, Malorie and Michael discuss the benefits of traveling at a young age and how being exposed to travel early can make you a more well-rounded person. This is, of course, after a long tangent about a ridiculous Starbucks experience and the best video games (and tabletop games) around. Are you ready to discuss travel, games, and Starbucks, oh my! Hear Michael discuss his childhood growing up in Okinawa and getting to see the world first-hand. We discuss the benefits he feels he got out of this experience.

My name is Malorie Mackey, and I’ve always had a strong passion for everything dorky and unusual. My adventures have taken me from working as an editorial writer for various travel platforms to volunteering on scientific expeditions around the world. I’ve found that the character of a location can be found in the strange and unusual attractions it has, as well as in the unique traditions of its people. I have also discovered that there’s such a market for these non-mainstream locations. Thus was born my unique paranormal adventure show “Weird World Adventures” and this podcast, which will serve as a companion to the show, featuring unique locations, as well as discussing weird history and more unusual occult topics that I’m discovering on my journey to get my Master Degree in anthropology with a specialization in mythology, folklore, and occult studies.
