Enjoying the banter, fun, stories, melon ratings on these podcasts. I am making travel plans for my next adventures when the world goes back to some sort of normal. Keep them coming Rory & Mark.
Apple Podcasts5HealballAustralia5 years ago - Get on board!
This awesome podcast will inspire major wanderlust and jolt your heart with that feeling of excitement, evoked by travel. Really enjoyed the banter, stories, ratings and tips. The Japan episode had me reminiscing about my own “lost in translation” experience and Shibuya crossing adventure. Thanks Mark and Rory. Looking forward to listening to more episodes during my next walk or drive to work! Mel
Apple Podcasts5MelroserodAustralia5 years ago - Love these two
A fun and easy listening podcast from two crazy Aussies.
I second the ‘Nook’ recommendation in Vancouver. Amazing!
Apple Podcasts5maireadkerrbearAustralia5 years ago - Brava!
I was most skeptical but listened to this in the quiet of the night and found it informative and a little bit funny.
And what would I want from a tour guide? Just that.
I found some of the Pronunciations excruciating but hey its an Australian dialect I’m listening to and yes its not where I live so it too can be different.
I’ll listen again and recommend it to my fellow travellers.
Good luck with the venture! Hugs WAHx

Apple Podcasts5jenn_s_dAustralia5 years ago - Five Melons for this travel podcast!
These 2 cheeky tour directors really bring their adventures alive. Not being able to travel due to COVID has had me a bit depressed. Listening to these two Aussies describing what to see and what to do in South Africa helped scratch the itch and has me excited to travel again. Look forward to listening to their future episodes.
