Welcome to this week's solo episode. I am accumulating the best travel stories from my previous guest, Rachel Fox. Rachel has appeared on the episode five times, and I put together the funniest travel stories for you. We hear her speaking to a horse, how she took 36 hours to cross the border from Honduras, shouting Socorro at the worst possible time in Brazil, the devasting case of money she missed out on when sailing from Panama to Colombia, and so much more! Prepare yourself for some ridiculous anecdotes and some good ole laughs. Enjoy!

Enjoy. Be inspired!

Hello, and welcome to number 143. This week, I am joined by Regan and Allie from the Wanderlusting Wives Podcast as we talk travel. They both share their favourite trip together in Iceland and how breathtaking they found the country. We dive into their favourite personal trips to Sweden, Denmark, Ireland and the USA. We cover how great a road trip is in certain countries like Ireland, Iceland and the USA and the freedom this brings you. We also get to hear about their awesome travel podcast, Wanderlusting Wives. This episode was a fun, casual chat about travel with a mutual appreciation for the love of wanderlust. 

Enjoy. Be inspired!

Hello, and welcome to number 142. This week, I am joined by Joel David Bond, who has just returned from living in Kurdistan, Iraq, for the last seven years. The FBI/CIA evacuated Joel in October 2023, and we talk about that story but also Joel's love for the country, his life there, what he learned from being in that culture, and the shocking ending to his stint. In COVID, Joel was stranded on a Greek Island that housed hundreds of asylum seekers an hour's bus ride from his resort apartment; we talked about those two worlds coming together in the most unlikely scenario and some uncomfortable truths. Also nestled into the conversation is Joel's two-year stint at British Airways, and we hear some funny tales about a career that is not so seemingly dreamy.

A lot is packed into this one, and we barely touched the sides with Joel's other travels, which are hitting the 90-country mark. Right now, Joel is back in the USA figuring out his next moves, and there are many funny stories, reflections and laughs in this episode. Check out Joel's stuff below.
