About this listen

Join us on The Tour Leaders, where we dive into the world of Travel Before the Internet. Each episode, I interview former tour leaders who will take you back to a time when cassette tapes, postcards, and unforgettable experiences ruled the road. From paper maps to pure gut instinct, we’ll share the tales that have shaped our journeys and kept us entertained for years. Buckle up for a nostalgic ride filled with stories you won’t want to miss!

    This week we meet KJ. After a few false starts, we finally got to chat (and chat we did). We met up a few weeks later after our conversation and she reminded me of our training trip in Turkey and that we were trying to find something interesting to tell our passengers about the capital, Ankara. We decided to that we would inform all tour groups that Ataturk's horse's name was loosely translated as Mr Tickles!

    Enjoy the ride with KJ!

    Emily took me to my one and only Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan. Actually, it was the day after and what I saw made me never want to go back!

    From running a bar in Thailand, to tour leading and finding her way to yoga Emily has had quite the adventure.

    What to say about Amit? The start of his tour leading journey was vastly different to the majority of us. Hailing from Nepal, he was put through his paces, tested and ultimately succeeded to become one of the first (and very few) Nepalese tour leaders for the company.

    Enjoy the ride!
