Join Adam & Alun for a bedtime story, told from within their natural habitat: the hostel dormitory.

Voluntourism is big business. The concept behind western tourists wishing to make positive contributions to less fortunate communities is a noble one; however, the ramifications can result in doing more harm than good.

Alun shares his experiences of teaching and volunteering in various countries in Africa. Choosing the right organisation, the right orphanage, and possessing the right skillset is imperative to making the right decision.

So, you've been excited for months about visiting a destination, reading travel blogs, watching YouTube videos, and spending hours staring at photos on Instagram, only to arrive at the destination to find it's crowded with hordes of tourists. "Hidden gem" sound familiar?

Adam shares his experience of exploring temples in Kyoto, Japan. Whilst Alun describes his visits to Machu Picchu, the Pyramids of Giza, and Petra in Jordan. Did these ancient wonders meet his expectations or did the reality leave him disappointed?

Brace yourself! It's the backpacker's almost inevitable nightmare: Alun recounts the story of a dangerous accident he had whilst riding a motorcycle through Vietnam.

Purchasing a motorcycle without having ever ridden one was maybe Alun's first mistake but don't worry, it gets worse!

Travelling from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, and discovering the incredible country of Vietnam by motorcycle, is a trip we highly recommend - Just try to learn how to ride the motorcycle before setting off!

Finally, a food episode! Join Adam & Alun as they discuss Western eating habits, questionable ingredients, and unethical cultural traditions. Adam also recounts a shocking interaction he had with an elderly lady whilst living in Hong Kong.

Food culture forms a huge part of why we travel, allowing us to gain a better understanding of a people's practices, beliefs, and relationship with food. We're frequently challenged and constantly learning, and we love it. Eat local, and eat everything.
