A listener of ours is about to start volunteering and traveling the world. Because she is smart, she turned to us for valuable information and our relatable experiences. And because we love our listeners, we came through with some solid advice. Sort of.
We answer a question from a reluctant traveler who has a nasty habit of leaving a trail of adaptors and gizwickies from Heathrow to India and all points in between: What sort of process do we have in place so that we don’t lose things when we travel all the time.
As citizens of what is supposed to be the country with the best healthcare in the world, just how have we dealt with illness traveling the globe? That’s a question one of our listeners has, so we have to answer!
Apparently we talk about riding motorbikes in Southeast Asia quite a lot. As such, one of our long-time listeners wants to know more. Like are licenses required? How much does it cost to rent a motorbike in Thailand or other countries in SE Asia? And just what is required to rent one of these two-wheeled death traps? We have the answers.
While we don’t yet live in a post-scarcity world, we sure seem to be living that life. So, exactly how do we manage this whole living abroad thing without being independently wealthy or having classic “good paying” jobs?
This week’s caller is about to get a hard lesson in high-stakes dating that will either make or break his relationship.
How to travel the world like you really don’t care about the people you left behind.
A list of travel tips not to do, from smuggling illicit substances to forcing your will on airline staff & immigration officials.

Instead of talking around our life in Bangkok, we’re going to talk specifically about it, walking through a list of 25 so called “rites of passage” that move you from tourist to expat in Bangkok. Yeah. We’ll see.
Have you ever thought about a romantic backpacking trek across Europe with your lover in an effort to rekindle the romantic spark in your reluctant partner? Jasmine has that in mind… and we’re not convinced. But hey, your mileage may vary. Get your sexy time when you can.
... but not this week. Want to help us out? ShEvo.wtf/callus will do the trick!
What could be less romantic that shoving a family of six into an RV and traveling the world? Hrm… nothing comes to mind. But we’ll tackle that question on this week’s episode, and reinforce why we never joined the RV traveling set.
It’s no fun being apart from the one you love. Traveling or living abroad without your partner can add incredible stress to any relationship. Even one that’s lasted for 30 years. Technology can help. And not just teledildonics. #didyoubringthecharger
Cuddling is key to a relationship, especially when traveling the world together. You should do it often. Just don’t plan on “doing it” during your 2000 kilometer train ride through the gorgeous mountains of the Vietnamese countryside. Unless you like performing for an audience. #stagefright #exhibitionism
