  • S5E33: How to Start Travelling the Globe on a Budget

    Looking to start some global birding or natural history travel, but have a limited budget, and not sure where to go first? This episode is for you! Ken and Charley give a global, continent-by-continent overview of what they consider the best destinations for the first-time budget traveller.

    CORRECTION: Ken stated that Costa Rica is likely the most English-speaking Neotropical country, but while editing the podcast realized that Belize and Guyana are definitely more Anglophone than CR.
