The decision to go for check-in or carry-on luggage in South America is looming, and we're undecided. This week we chat through all the pros and cons of both options in a discussion that probably just confused us both more. Enjoy!

Staying safe is sometimes easier said than done while travelling. Unexpected situations can arise very suddenly, leading to some, yes, 'near death experiences'. This week, Tamsyn shares a story from her recent trip to the Philippines which illustrates this quite well.

On Don’t Underestimate, we like to be pretty open about money. This week, we’re chatting about the figure we’re trying to save for our 6 month South America and Europe trip. We’re talking about the randomness in coming up with the amount, how money provides flexibility and how one of us might be quite far off the saving goal…

We all love a cheeky South East Asia trip, so that’s exactly what we’re doing! This time, we’re doing separate trips. We talk all things traveling with friends vs traveling with fam, why we love a short, slay trip and what our expectations for each other are…
P.S. After the recent events in Laos, a reminder to stay safe in South East Asia. Sending our sympathies to the families and friends of the victims of this heartbreaking tragedy xx -
We are officially Rio bound! Flights have been booked, jobs have been quit and spirits have been raised. Our South America trip is fast approaching and we cannot wait to record all the chaos to come on the pod. As a result, we've decided (cause we make the rules) that this is the beginning of Don't Underestimate Season 2. Enjoy some ramble from us to celebrate a new era!

This week we're talking all about the beautiful city of Vienna! We tell you all about how we were OBSESSED with its peaceful vibe, and how it's a must-do euro destination all year round. It's true what they say... Vienna waits for you! <3

When you're traveling, supermarkets often become your second home. Whether you're grabbing a quick snack or crafting a cheap dinner from local dips, meats, and cheeses, those overseas supermarkets become both essential AND iconic.
In this ep, we dive into our fav supermarkets from the places we've visited, the most memorable snacks we came across, and how not being able to read the packaging really can make the experience all the more interesting... -
This week we bring you a mindset hack to travel, and maybe even life, that has time and time again served us well. It's pretty easy to get caught up in the idea and fantasy of a destination before you even step foot into the airport, but what if we all just lowered our expectations?

Normally on this podcast, ALL we do is hype up traveling. But today, we felt like having a bit of a whinge.
Everything has its shit parts, and backpacking is no exception. From packing and repacking your bag 100000000 times, to trying to navigate a brand new train system in a brand new language every second day, it's exhausting work!
So, if you feel like listening to two girls who LOVE travel complain about it like their life depends on it, then settle in... -
Spending over 2 weeks on a remote island off the coast of Scotland... What could go wrong?
This week Tam tells us all about her experience doing a 'workaway,' where she volunteered to do manual labour in exchange for free accom and food on a tiny island in Scotland. She gives us all the tips on what to look for in a workaway, why you should (maybe) look for workaways with reviews and how a workaway can be a lifesaver when it comes to budgeting a long trip...
Tune in and don't forget to check out our Instagram @dontunderestimatepodcast for pics <3 -
Welcome to a very special episode where we let you in to our late night car chats. Expect ramble and slightly poor audio but hopefully a semi-interesting discussion (maybe) about entering the wonderful world of 9 to 5 work. After travelling, going back to work can be a shock to the system - in fact it 'sucks ya,' according to Molly - but listen in to hear us try convince ourselves it's all about mindset.

Whether it's saying goodbye to your besties after a three-week holiday, or saying goodbye to random's you met in a hostel that you're convinced you'll be friends with forever... saying goodbye is an emotional ordeal!
This week we delve into the many difficult times we said goodbye on our travels. We tell you how we bawled our eyes out for a whole day after leaving each other on our trip, and explain why we think that hostel friendships are some of the most unique.
Plus, we cover why following those random people you meet overseas on a night out on Instagram, really is a ticket for keeping up with their mundane lives on the other side of the world forever... -
Ahhh festival season... there's nothing else like it.
We just got back from an NYE festival here in Aus and had the absolute best time! Dancing, having zero service, and surviving off nothing but Peanut Butter and Corn Thins really got us thinking about just how different our experience was when we went to a festival in Europe.
In today's ep, we compare Aussie festivals to the ones in Europe. Both are very different - but is there one that's better?
Tune in to find out! <3 -
A three-day motorbike loop through the mountains of Nothern Vietnam? Yesss pleaseeee!
This week we're talking about the incredible experience that is the Ha Giang Loop. From the JAW-DROPPING scenery, to the most memorable karaoke nights, we walk you through exactly what to expect and tell you why this journey is hyped up among the backpackers for a bloody good reason!
We also touch on our safety concerns and explain why deciding to do the Loop was a little scary, especially so last minute... Don't worry, it was safe Mum and Dad!! (Mostly) -
You know those songs that you listen to that just take you straight back to the feeling of travel, or an exact moment in a big trip? Yeah. We have a few of those. In our last ep of the year, we give you a glimpse into our favourite travel songs and playlists and tell you why curating your own is an absolute must.
PLUS, we have a bit of a chat about 2023, and delve into our fav eps and moments doing the pod this year <3 -
It's not every day you talk about your home city on a travel podcast... But this week we're doing just that!
In this (slightly longer) ep, we give you all our recs on what to do in Melbourne, where to go, and what to expect. Strap yourselves in a slight bit of civic pride and a touch of coffee snobbery... We couldn't help ourselves :) <3 -
Ah the age-old question, 'what should we eat'? It's something you never stop asking yourself, especially when you're scrabbling for food that's within your budget while backpacking.
Today we present to you a solution - Tripadvisor Cheap Eats. When you're stuck on what to eat, a quick search on Tripadvisor really can save the day. We chat about this, and all things eating out, preparing meals, and feeling guilty about spending money on food in this ep of D.U! <3<3 - Näytä enemmän
