Episode 5 - Exploring Egypt with Sachin

8/16/2020
In this episode, I will be talking about one of the most fascinating countries in the world, Egypt. The land of the pharaohs, the Nile and most famous for being home to the iconic Pyramids of Giza, the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.

Episode 4 - South African Stories with Adrian

7/28/2020
In this episode, I will be talking about one of my favourite countries and diverse places in the world, South Africa. With 11 official languages and various ethnic groups in the country, no wonder it is known as the Rainbow Nation.

My guest for this episode is...

Episode 3 - Hunter Valley Hangs with Anjana

6/29/2020
In this episode, I will be discussing about the Hunter valley with a very special guest, Anjana, who also happens to be my wife and favourite drinking companion. This was important as the Hunter Valley is famous for it's wines, being the oldest wine region in Australia and having over 150 cellar doors to choose from! We've been to the Hunter Valley a few times and have left with more fond memories than wine bottles each time. This time was even more special for us as we went to celebrate...

Episode 2 - Remembering Rome with Shivneel Lal

6/3/2020
Rome...so much history and culture, the centre of one of the largest empires of the world. Shiv and I met just before this trip and we've had a long friendship since then and have been on many more trips after this. Rome started out with me wanting to do a solo trip, but as usual, plans got hijacked and I ended up with 4 others. Listen to what we get up to and you might even find out something about Rome and the UFC!
