Welcome to Episode 3. We play another Where In The World guessing game - answer at the end of the episode - and this time Heidi doesn't cheat (that we know of!) We chat about Andrea's jaunt to the most northerly place in Ireland, Malin Head - which, in Irish geo-political terms, despite being the most northerly place in Ireland, is officially in the South. Of course, she had the most northerly pint in Ireland while there! Fun fact - scenes from Star Wars The Last Jedi were filmed in Malin Head. Listen up beaches! We chat about money.co.uk's list of the top 5 most Instagrammed beaches in the world. What do our intrepid adventurers Heidi & Andrea think of the list? Do they agree? In our fantasy departure lounge, we chat with Laurice Taitz, publisher of Johannesburg In Your Pocket, about how the city has evolved over the decades to become one of the most vibrant and interesting African cities. She's got the low-down on where to go and when, so if you're interested in a trip to South Africa, don't miss this interview. As always, you can get follow us on Instagram at @travelinyourpocketpodcast, on Twitter at @Travel_IYP or email us at [email protected] We bet you're wondering where our fab intro music comes from, right? Wonder no longer, it's by our very good friends, Northern Ireland band 3D Shark, and you can find their top tuneage on YouTube. Our 4th episode will be out towards the end of December (in the meantime, you can get in touch with us by email or on social media). Till the next time...

Buckle up for episode 2 in which we have another Where in the World destination for you to guess. We reveal the location at the end of the show. We chat about cruises and Andrea's summer 2021 jaunt on Celebrity APEX, and we discuss the Top 5 road trips as chosen by National Geographic - but what do Heidi & Andrea think of Nat Geo's choices? Did they stall or hit top gear? Then we invite the fantastic adventure ambassador Nathan Fluellen - a.k.a. World Wide Nate @WorldWideNate - into our fantasy departure lounge to ask him about his travels, his love of surfing and being a leading figure in the Black travel movement. Tell us what you think of the show and and the places you'd like us to cover next - write to us at: [email protected] and follow us on Instagram @travelinyourpocketpodcast.

Ep 4 - World’s rudest place names & we drink our Top 5 global cocktails (and get quite drunk!)

4 Recommendations

Listeners of a delicate disposition, cover your ears now, because in our final episode of 2021, we discuss the world's rudest, funniest place names, including the village of Muff in Donegal, Ireland and Twatt in the Scottish Orkney islands. Inspired by the Rude Road Trip around the UK, undertaken by brothers Andy and Magnus Tait in 2019, we chat about naughty nomenclature, including Sandy Balls holiday resort in England, Pig Turd Alley in Sacramento, USA and Shag Point, South Australia, among others.

In our Top 5 we drink 5 famous cocktails named after, or invented in, different global destinations, and rank them in order. As you'd image, we get increasingly tipsy as we drink our way through the list. What would be your favourite - a Bellini from Harry's Bar, Venice; a Pisco Sour from Peru or Chile; A Singapore Sling from the Long Bar in Raffles, Singapore; a Mojito from Cuba or an Irish coffee? We try them all so you don't have to.

We finish the episode with the answer to the Where In The World clues Heidi gave Andrea at the start of the show.

There's no interview this episode (because, alcohol) but we'll be back in January with more chats, another Where in the World, a top 5 and an interview with an influential travel expert.
