Adam's experiencing money troubles, with the Canadian tax authorities hot on his tail. Being locked out of your bank account and accused of committing financial fraud is never ideal, especially when you're travelling on a completely different continent. Is this Digital Nomad life really for him?
The back half of the episode is heavily weighted towards Tuk-tuks and personal hygiene, as Alun will stop at nothing until every Tripologist is washing their bottom with water. Don't you dare let him catch you with toilet paper!

Alun’s received the lion’s share of bad luck in the hostel, as his possessions continue to go missing. Are the hostel staff to blame or is there a backpacker thief on the loose? Listen, as we investigate and insinuate.
Alun gets his revenge by performing what can only be described as the greatest train stunt Churchgate Station has ever seen. Check out our Instagram page to see the action unfold!
‘Rice 4 Breakfast’ is back with a carb-heavy offering. Fried potato in a bun? It can only be the iconic Mumbai Vada Pav!

Initially, the idea of visiting the largest slum in India didn’t sit well with us, but after speaking with a number of backpackers who had, we were reassured that instead of being intrusive and voyeuristic, it was in fact an opportunity to educate ourselves.
Dharavi in Mumbai is a sprawling residential & commercial area covering more than 500 acres! Housing 1 million registered residents and a reported 1 million more who remain unregistered, Dharavi is a densely populated, compact labyrinth filled with wonderful communities and thriving businesses.

The third and final part of our 'Hiking the Himalayas' series concludes with an interview with Emmie & Lucas. Alun completed the trek with Emmie & Lucas, forming the triumphant trekking trio, and they've now reunited in Kathmandu to debrief one another and discuss their experiences.
A very true, very special bond developed whilst on the road. We hear them reminisce about the physical and mental challenges, the crazy angles of a tea house, the questionable yet surprising uses for yak dung, and the ironic anti-climax of seeing the world's tallest mountain: Mount Everest.

Using a series of live voice recordings, Alun was able to document each day trekking through the mountains. Expect stunning scenery, questionable fire fuel, and a high dose of altitude sickness!
