What started as a laid-back sightseeing day in Udaipur quickly spiralled into one of the most uncomfortable (and traumatic) toilet emergencies of my entire trip. One minute I’m being shown around the City Palace and casually chatting about Hindu mythology and spiritual lake blessings…the next I’m gripping the back of Hassan's motorbike, clenching like my life depends on it. The whole time praying to Ganesh that my sphincter can hold out. What followed was a frantic dash through the streets of India, a truly humbling squat toilet experience, and a newfound vow to always listen to my gut, literally!

In this episode, I share the realities of travelling through Cambodia. What should have been a simple journey turns into a slow eight-hour boat trip through shrinking waterways and dense jungle, giving a true taste of off-the-beaten-path adventure.

I reflect on the contrasts of Cambodia, its youthful population full of energy and joy, juxtaposed with the haunting shadows of its recent tragic history. From chaotic tuk-tuk rides with friendly locals to staying in one of the worst rooms I’ve ever experienced (prison-cell vibes included), this episode dives deep into the gritty, raw side of travel that few talk about.

Discover the hidden gem of Ratanikiri and its stunning volcanic crater lake, a serene escape far from the tourist trail, and meet the fellow wanderers who made those days unforgettable. As I circle back to Siem Reap, there’s a surprising sense of homecoming in the familiar walls of my old hotel room.

Join me for an honest, unfiltered glimpse of life on the road in Southeast Asia—the triumphs, the frustrations, and everything in between.
