    358 EXTRAORDINARY TRAVEL: Singaporeans Who Go Beyond the Tourist Trail
    Feb 7 2025

    Singapore may be small, but some of its travelers think big. In this episode of The Radio Vagabond, I sit down with two passionate explorers from Singapore, Wee Cheng Tan and Redzuan “Red” Rahmat. They have spent years visiting places most people wouldn’t even think of, from remote territories to off-the-beaten-path destinations.

    We talk about what drives their curiosity, the unexpected challenges they face as Singaporean travelers, and how their perspectives on travel have evolved. If you’re someone who loves going beyond the typical tourist trail, this episode is for you.

    Key Takeaways:
    ✔️ Why Singaporeans have a unique approach to travel
    ✔️ The power (and challenges) of holding a Singaporean passport
    ✔️ How slow travel creates more immersive experiences
    ✔️ Lessons from visiting lesser-known destinations

    357 ICELAND (4:4): Tourists, Traditions, and Naked Showers
    Feb 3 2025

    Iceland is full of surprises – from quirky Christmas traditions to a strict showering culture and an unexpected Eurovision obsession. In this episode of The Radio Vagabond, I talk to Alda Sigmundsdóttir, Helga, and Asbjørn about what Icelanders really think of tourists, the country’s fascinating language, and why some locals act like ‘shower police’ in public pools.

    We also uncover hidden gems in Iceland, the real truth about Icelanders and their love/hate relationship with Eurovision, and why so many travellers make the same mistakes when visiting this magical island.

    Next week:
    I sit down with Matt Kepnes, aka Nomadic Matt, to discuss whether budget travel is still possible – even in expensive destinations like Iceland.

    356 EXTRAORDINARY TRAVEL: Two Kiwi Travelers, Two Extreme Adventures
    Feb 1 2025

    At the Extraordinary Travel Festival, I sat down with two incredible travellers: Christian Fleischer and Jonny Beardmore.

    Christian Fleischer, a New Zealander working in aviation, recently completed visiting every country in the world, finishing in the Bahamas. He shares what it was like to reach that milestone, plus stories of travelling between five-star luxury and extreme off-the-grid adventures.

    Jonny Beardmore, aka The Galápagos Postman, has been delivering 50 handwritten letters worldwide, continuing an old tradition from the Galápagos Islands. From Clown Town, Texas, to an emotional letter for a woman who couldn’t read, his journey is all about human connection – and he’s racing to finish before his big event in London on March 1st.

    In this episode, we dive into:

    • What it’s like to visit every country in the world
    • The wildest places Christian has stayed – luxury and survival travel
    • Jonny’s most unbelievable deliveries (fairies, pirates, and lost love!)
    • The emotional impact of his mission to fight Motor Neurone Disease
    • What’s next for these two extreme travellers
