SEASON 2 FINALE: Back by popular demand, Thomas is on the podcast once more to dig deeper into his travels before he traded in transcontinental flight for the slow life. He takes us with him partying in Tokyo, hiking volcanoes in Indonesia, and temple-hopping in Myanmar. Plus, how he (not always successfully) dodged some tourist scams and gained some valuable perspective from miners and monks.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA (Fact Check: According to the US Geological Survey, the last giant “caldera-forming” eruption from the Yellowstone supervolcano happened about 631,000 years ago [... and it has] a recurrence interval of about 600,000 to 800,000 years. BBC Science and Nature says “you could fit Tokyo, the world's biggest city, in Yellowstone's super-volcanic crater” and “the fallout from a Yellowstone super-eruption could affect three quarters of the US.”)

Silver Springs State Park, North Central Florida, USA (Fact Check: Researchers at the University of Florida say, “Local folklore suggests the monkeys were released while the 1939 movie ‘Tarzan Finds a Son’ was filmed at the site. However, macaques were present in Silver Springs prior to filming, and no rhesus macaques appear in this film. In truth, today's thriving population descended from monkeys intentionally released in the 1930s in an effort to increase tourism to the area.”)
