    Squat to Swanky Global Bathroom Experiences

    Squat to Swanky Global Bathroom Experiences

    In this flashback episode we are taking you with us inside the good, the great, the bad and the ugly of bathrooms around the world. You know we can’t do an episode without talking about the bathroom experience, so we dedicated a whole episode to it. Just try to listen without laughing!

    We take it country by country telling stories from bathrooms in Thailand, Japan, China, The Philippines, Europe, bathrooms in Mexico, and more! We share some scary experiences, but we also share some of the best bathrooms in the world that we’ve been to – both intentionally, and those we fell upon by accident. You’d be surprised how many Instagramable bathrooms there are in some of the most inconspicuous places!

    We also share what to expect from bathrooms in different cultures – like paying to use it, bringing your own TP, and squatty potties.

One of the best travel podcasts I have found!

These guys are the best at giving great travel information. Lots of details on hiking trails, places to eat, hotels to stay at as well as great tips on gear, flights and rental cars. I also appreciate how they get right to the episode. There are soo many podcasts that spend 15-20 minutes talking about nothing. Keep up the great work Jamal, Brittanie & Kim! I can’t wait to hear about your next adventure.

Great resource!

I love listening to this podcast whether prepping for a trip or to just get ideas for future travel. I enjoy the recommendations and detailed info about their travel experiences.

Rap Rocks!!!!!!!!!!:))))) ,

Best travel tips by far!

I have been listening for several years and absolutely love this group! They all bring distinct travel personalities that adds to the content they’re giving the listener. I appreciate their quick tips as well as extended episodes about travel destinations. Love the info they give on national parks-used much of it for a few trips out west. Also have purchased their podcast course which helped me launch my own podcast back in April. $50 I think for that course and worth every penny!!!
