    Bon Voyage Artie

    In an attempt to process my London bestie moving back to Sydney, I've put together a special little episode. Artie, we love you and we'll miss you, but we're so excited for this exciting new chapter for you and Sherief. The pain is real, but so is the joy. This isn't goodbye, it's a ciao for now!

    Love on the road

    One of the wonderful things about solo travel is you never know who you might meet along the way. In early 2022, Rach was travelling around Mexico when she had a chance encounter, and fell in love. But it wasn't with you who might expect! Rach shares her dog-rescue journey from Vancouver to Oaxaca and back in the final episode of Season 1. Whether you're a dog lover or not, this heartwarming tale will give you a big stupid smile on your face. Shout out to Caravana Canina, who helped make Lupa's new home and family in Vancouver possible: https://www.caravanacanina.org/

    Bangkok baby!

    We're back in Bangkok with Prue, and this time, we're focused on her biggest life pivot to date: becoming a mum (to a delicious dumpling, no less.) Prue opens up about her experience of being pregnant and giving birth in Bangkok, the support network she developed, and this exciting (albeit sweaty) new chapter of her life.

    A love letter to Berlin

    As Anne prepares to leave Berlin, she couldn't help but wonder (ha) - in different circumstances, could this have been her 'forever home'? In this episode, Anne and her fellow ex-pats ponder over this quirky, sprawling, fascinating city. From dress code, to the language, to benefits of a social system, we discuss it all. Special thx to Thom Nagy for his track 'Sunk'.

    Travel f*ck-ups, part II

    In episode 2, Anne asks guests Steph, Emma, Prue and Loes about their most memorable travel f*ck-ups. Experiences range from the kind of inconvenient f*ck-up that wounds your ego briefly but gives you a laugh later on, to something that makes you cry in public, to a humiliating border control situation, to a literal brush with death!

    Travel f*ck-ups, part I

    Many of us have missed travel during the pandemic, but it's not always sunshine and lollipops! In the very first episode of I Promise it Won't be Boring, Anne and her guests relive two of her greatest travel f*ck-ups - both involving losing something precious. **Please note: in true spirit of this podcast, some guests (and even sometimes the host!) will be mixed sound quality, due to recording from exotic locations!**
