    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.

    Enjoy the listen!

    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!

    This episode is a slow burn, but as the memories return, the stories flow: an overland trek from Istanbul to Kathmandu, and even being smuggled into Tibet. It proves some of the best tales are worth waiting for.

    Andy started life as banker, but wanted to be a merchant seaman. He ended up as a Tour Leader and Assistant Destination Manager before settling in Thailand for good.

    Of all the tour leaders I've known, trouble regularly sought him out! From wild horses in a Cairo market to bus crashes in Thailand - he's kept his good humour throughout (and managed to come away unscathed...).

    Enjoy the ride.

    Meet JP. The most exotic eater I've ever met!

    JP trained me in Vietnam back in the early naughties. And I can tell you, he's a hard act to follow! His groups love him and as you listen you'll understand why.

    Over 20 years tour leading and he's still at it, with a Zen like approach to seeing the world through fresh eyes every day.

    Enjoy the listen.

    Buckle up people and meet Purple Kate!

    I really don't have enough words to describe her, but Wonderwoman comes to mind.

    And...another friendship that has stood the test of time.

    Enjoy the listen.
