Travel is finally starting to pick up, so this week we are chatting about adventurers traveling as close as the airport and as far as the deepest seas! 

Then Jules tells Christine about the insane true story behind the movie Jungle. Four travelers venture into the jungle, but two are never heard from again. Listen up to hear Yossi Ghinsberg and his companions' tale of survival, jaguars, mud pits, hallucinations and death.

We kick off this week's episode with some travel news. The world is starting to open up again to travelers and we can't wait to see what happens.... when things go sour!

We chat about the opening of Vegas casinos, where players are NOT wearing masks (shocking), and Mother Nature's reaction to tourists back in Venice.

Then Christine tells Jules the truth behind the famous travel book and movie, Into The Wild. We peel back the curtain to discover what is true, what's false and why he went on his epic adventure.

On this week's Voyager Chat we sit down with Amanda Kingsmith and Ryan Ferguson, hosts of The World Wanderers Podcast (https://www.theworldwanderers.com/). They've had some epic adventures all over the world, but now they’re telling us one of their wildest stories.

Amanda and Ryan loved traveling through beautiful Bolivia, but had one particularly gnarly travel day making their way into the Amazon jungle. It was definitely one of those days that was frustrating at the time, but in hindsight has become one of their best travel memories!
