Don't Underestimate Tamsyn Buckle, Molly Paynter

Normally on this podcast, ALL we do is hype up traveling. But today, we felt like having a bit of a whinge.
Everything has its shit parts, and backpacking is no exception. From packing and repacking your bag 100000000 times, to trying to navigate a brand new train system in a brand new language every second day, it's exhausting work!
So, if you feel like listening to two girls who LOVE travel complain about it like their life depends on it, then settle in...

Spending over 2 weeks on a remote island off the coast of Scotland... What could go wrong?
This week Tam tells us all about her experience doing a 'workaway,' where she volunteered to do manual labour in exchange for free accom and food on a tiny island in Scotland. She gives us all the tips on what to look for in a workaway, why you should (maybe) look for workaways with reviews and how a workaway can be a lifesaver when it comes to budgeting a long trip...

Welcome to a very special episode where we let you in to our late night car chats. Expect ramble and slightly poor audio but hopefully a semi-interesting discussion (maybe) about entering the wonderful world of 9 to 5 work. After travelling, going back to work can be a shock to the system - in fact it 'sucks ya,' according to Molly - but listen in to hear us try convince ourselves it's all about mindset.

Whether it's saying goodbye to your besties after a three-week holiday, or saying goodbye to random's you met in a hostel that you're convinced you'll be friends with forever... saying goodbye is an emotional ordeal!
This week we delve into the many difficult times we said goodbye on our travels. We tell you how we bawled our eyes out for a whole day after leaving each other on our trip, and explain why we think that hostel friendships are some of the most unique.
Plus, we cover why following those random people you meet overseas on a night out on Instagram, really is a ticket for keeping up with their mundane lives on the other side of the world forever...

Ahhh festival season... there's nothing else like it.

We just got back from an NYE festival here in Aus and had the absolute best time! Dancing, having zero service, and surviving off nothing but Peanut Butter and Corn Thins really got us thinking about just how different our experience was when we went to a festival in Europe.

In today's ep, we compare Aussie festivals to the ones in Europe. Both are very different - but is there one that's better?

A three-day motorbike loop through the mountains of Nothern Vietnam? Yesss pleaseeee!
This week we're talking about the incredible experience that is the Ha Giang Loop. From the JAW-DROPPING scenery, to the most memorable karaoke nights, we walk you through exactly what to expect and tell you why this journey is hyped up among the backpackers for a bloody good reason!
We also touch on our safety concerns and explain why deciding to do the Loop was a little scary, especially so last minute... Don't worry, it was safe Mum and Dad!! (Mostly)
