    Ep 15: Travel Like Lucas, strange meat and packing Turkish heat

    Meet Lucas, a 30-something Frenchman and self-proclaimed foodie who’s already lived on three continents and doesn’t shy away from a little danger. He flew all the way from South America to Bordeaux "just" to sit down and share some of his wildest travel stories. He's wandered abandoned prison islands in French Guiana, eaten an uncommon organ in Istanbul, and quite literally buried a body in Colombia… This episode isn’t for the faint of heart, but you’re definitely in for a ride.

    This episode introduces you to Anna, Nebraska-born, of Laotian heritage, and now studying all the way in Taiwan. She's got stories that span continents and lessons you’ll definitely want to pack with you.

This episode is a good reminder for all travelers, don't forget to slow down and laugh at the chaos ;) Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠@travellikeyou.pod⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram & TikTok :) Want to be featured?

    Ep 13 (from California!): Travel Like Ava, facing fears and tattooing souvenirs

    Welcome to Travel Like You - Season 3! Recorded halfway across the world (and sprung as a bit of a surprise), this episode kicks off the season with Ava: a ballet-dancing, wine-loving, pick-up-and-go-without-knowing-a-soul kinda gal… and my very first friend in France! From starting a uniquely permanent travel tradition in Italy, to her big move to Europe, to a (admittedly irresponsible) New Year’s Eve in Paris we’ll never forget, Ava’s got tales you won’t want to miss.

    Ep 12: Travel Like Thomas (again), trekking to Myanmar temples

    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. Episode notes: Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan Kyoto, Japan Jakarta, Indonesia (Fact Check: This is in fact the capital, but will change to Nusantara in 2028) Java, Indonesia Mount Bromo, Java, Indonesia (Volcano) Kawah Ijen, Java, Indonesia (Volcano)  Bali, Indonesia Ubud, Bali, Indonesia Gili Trawangan, Indonesia Rangoon, Myanmar Hpa-An, Myanmar Bagan, Myanmar Mandalay, Myanmar Inlei, Myanmar (Lake) 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.”) Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠@travellikeyou.pod⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram & TikTok :) Want to be featured?
