Campfire entertainment
We very much enjoy listening to Alex and Jan’s adventures when on our own adventures. It’s the perfect listen when huddled around the campfire!
Great story
This is such an easy story to listen to. It’s relaxing and really takes you away for a little bit.
I’ve been around Africa a few times and just enjoy hearing Alec and Jane speak about their trip during a time when travel must have been magical.
My new favorite podcast!!!
I can't wait to see what happens next in this amazing adventure. The story opens with a bang and promises exploration and adventure in the midst of an amazing love story. Informative and rich with detail but without feeling bogged down. I'll be sure to recommend it!
