On this episode of TFI Uncut, we sit down with Jayden Popenko and Ben Arnett the duo behind ROAM AUS, a digital travel mag built on lived experiences, not tourist checklists. They chat about building the brand remotely, telling authentic Aussie stories, and why they’ve kept the mag ad-free. It’s less about glossy brochures and more about real advice from people who’ve actually been there like “fill up your esky at this servo or you’ll be stuck for 200km.” ROAM AUS also gives subscribers monthly giveaways, gear discounts, and supports local conservation projects but at its core, it’s all about building a community that genuinely loves exploring Australia.Hit FOLLOW and stay tuned, new episodes dropping weekly.
