The Congo, Part 1: Gorillas and Guerillas
The Democratic Republic of Congo lies in the heart of central Africa. It’s home to the oldest national park in all of Africa, Virunga, and perhaps the most natural resources of any African nation.

Myanmar: Trains & Temples
Myanmar is the westernmost country in Southeast Asia, sharing borders with Thailand, Laos, China, India, and Bangladesh. The tourism infrastructure is scant compared to its Southeast Asian counterparts, making for some rewarding, if not hard to reach, adventures. Today we go for a ride on the Yangon Circle Train, and explore, via scooter, the ancient temples of Bagan. andyanajones.comIG: andy_anajones

Everest, Part 1: The 3 Passes
Getting to Everest base camp requires nerves of steel from the start, as your 10-seater plane lands on a runway precariously perched at the edge of a cliff. Once on land, there are no roads for days in all directions, only yaks, sherpas, and a steep climb. The rewards? Endless peaks, heavenly lakes, comfy teahouses, and a sense of high altitude accomplishment.

India: Varanasi
Varanasi is all of India rolled into one, tightly confined, riverfront crematory and pilgrimage site. Any and all sights, smells, sounds, and tastes can be experienced within the maze of alleys and riverside ghats that serve as both burial grounds and ritual cleansing locales. The experience of Varanasi is both holy...and heavy. Jump in. andyanajones.comIG: andy_anajones

Immersive Escape
Takes me from my cubicle to the jungles! I love how quickly it takes you in.
Awesome travel tales!
Such an inspiring podcast! Felt like I was transported to the country in each episode with the descriptions of the scenery and sound effects. Makes me want to grab a backpack and head out the door to explore! Perfect for listening on walks, as a bedtime story, commutes, or when you want to get away. Love it!
