    363 GHANA: A Bribe, Bureaucracy, and the Beautiful Buzz of Accra – Part 1

    Join me, Palle Bo, as I land in West Africa and dive into the vibrant chaos of Ghana’s capital. In this first episode from Accra, things don’t exactly go to plan — starting with a stressful border crossing where I’m almost denied entry (and might've been asked for a bribe). Then it’s on to SIM card struggles, hotel mix-ups, and an unexpected conversation about Danish football in a local Uber. I’m also reunited with my globetrotting travel buddy Cynthia, as we kick off our journey through Ghana, Togo, Benin, and São Tomé. Plus, I reveal what happened when my Yellow Fever vaccine book nearly grounded me — and what to expect next as our Accra adventures continue. Key takeaways: – How not having your name in your vaccine book can cause major problems -       Getting a SIM card in Ghana vs. using eSIM with GigSky -       Why Accra is both chaotic and full of charm -       Ghana facts: language, religion, size, and more -       The story of Cynthia Globe and our travels -       Upcoming: fantasy coffins, karaoke surprises, and deeper looks at Ghanaian society Links and more: Follow The Radio Vagabond on https://www.instagram.com/radiovagabond/ https://www.facebook.com/TheRadioVagabond https://www.youtube.com/theradiovagabond https://twitter.com/radiovagabond https://www.tiktok.com/@radiovagabond Read the full blog post here: https://theradiovagabond.com/363-ghana Danish version: https://radiovagabond.dk/412-ghana Join the Vagabond Hotline with this week’s question: “The Strangest Thing I’ve Ever Eaten While Traveling” Tell me your story at https://www.theradiovagabond.com/contact

    In this episode of The Radio Vagabond, we dive into the world of off-the-beaten-path travel with three extraordinary tour guides I met at the Extraordinary Travel Festival in Bangkok. Join me as I talk to: David Van Driessche – a photographer and tour leader who brings travelers into the heart of Papua New Guinea’s remote tribal communities. Fadi Assi – a passionate advocate for tourism in Syria, offering eye-opening historical and cultural experiences. Baba Ahmed El Bekay – a pioneer of tourism in Mauritania, home to ancient cities, epic desert adventures, and the iconic Iron Ore Train. We discuss what makes these destinations so unique, why more travelers should consider visiting them, and how responsible tourism can have a meaningful impact.

    359 NOMADIC MATT: Is it Possible to Visit Iceland on a Budget?

    We’ve just wrapped up four episodes from my time in Iceland – a country that’s as jaw-droppingly beautiful as it is expensive. But is there a way to travel this pricey paradise on a budget? That’s the question I’ll be tackling today with someone who knows a thing or two about affordable travel. I’d already heard the rumour, so in Reykjavik I set out to find out just how expensive it is and we start the episode back in Reykjavik where I walked into a supermarket to check the prices of random things. And then, I’m thrilled to welcome Matt Kepnes, aka Nomadic Matt, back to the podcast. He’s one of the most well-known names in travel. He’s the New York Times bestselling author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day and the creator of the massively popular blog, NomadicMatt.com. Over the years, he’s inspired millions to see the world without breaking the bank. And now, he’s back with a completely revamped version of his iconic guidebook. Now called How to Travel the World on $75 a Day. It’s not just an update – it’s almost an entirely new book, reflecting how travel has changed since the pandemic, with fresh tips, destination advice, and even new ways to save.
