A few days ago, I published an episode about Elk Horn, and in that one I told a story about some Danish immigrants. Here I also had a song created by AI about their story.

This episode was recorded last week on a road trip I did in Kirgizstan with my good friend, Cynthia. We’ve done this before when we did another drive through Saudi Arabia. It’s basically about choosing between two travel related bucket list things – and a great way of getting to talk about travel. This time we’ve asked ChatGPT to give us the questions: Would you rather: … hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru or the Torres del Paine Circuit in Chile? … take a hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia in Turkey or watch the Northern Lights from a glass igloo in Finland? … camp under the stars in Wadi Rum desert in Jordan or in the Sahara Desert in Morocco? … attend the Rio Carnival in Brazil or the Holi Festival of Colours in India? … visit the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt or the Moai statues on Easter Island in Chile? … explore the fjords of New Zealand or the Scottish Highlands? … take a scenic train ride through the Swiss Alps or the Rocky Mountains in Canada? I hope you will play along. Let me know what you think of what we say in the comments on Facebook or YouTube. I’ll be ready with a regular travel episode next Tuesday.
