Is it too late to travel in your 30s? After a listener submitted this simple yet thought-provoking question into the show, we decided to dedicate an episode to it. We discuss the societal pressures faced by travellers in their 30s, as well as the risks and the downsides. If you're in your 30s or fast-approaching and you're contemplating a backpacking trip or a change of career, don't miss this one!
Support the show and access the Lost & Found section, as Adam shares his feelings towards living away from family and friends, and Alun reviews a recent trip to the cinema.

Alun's settling into life in Tokyo but not before an unhealthy dose of bureaucracy, and an even unhealthier dose of convenience store food. We rank Japan's convenience stores, as well as discuss the things no one tells you about moving to Japan. How can a country famous for its efficiency be so inefficient?

Support the show and access the Lost & Found section, as we relive our favourite memory from the farm. Lovingly referred to as Peanut Butter, this story involves a dog with a weakness for lasagne, a block of butter, and quicker reactions than a wild west shootout. This might be the funniest thing we've ever witnessed. Did we mention Alun's a dog whisperer?

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. It means the world.

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is one of New Zealand's most popular hikes. Adam enjoyed it so much he did it twice! But that's not the whole story: he believes local tourism businesses are profiteering and taking advantage of ill-informed travellers. If you'd like to know how to save money, tune in to hear Adam's take on New Zealand tourism. He might be sick but he's not going down without a fight!

Support the show and access the Lost & Found section, as Alun's been breaking into his own house with a screwdriver. Adam also reveals where he'll be spending Alun's birthday. Surprise, surprise!
