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.

This episode is filled with insight, inspiration, and stories you won’t hear on your average travel show.
