The Nuance of Traveling Safely in 2025, Vietnam’s Vegan Test Passed or Failed & The Strictly Curse

We discuss the nuance of traveling safely in countries that face extreme weather, political unrest, or unexpected events that could put you in harm’s way. We share how we navigate those moments when locals make you feel silly for being cautious because they’re so used to it, and we share real stories of how that mindset has actually saved us from dodging missiles in Jordan to surviving the strongest typhoon of 2025 in Vietnam. We laugh about our bizarre couple synchronicity where both of us always seem to need the bathroom at the same time, and ask our audience if there are other couples out there that have similar quirks. We also discuss a bizarre pattern we have noticed wherever we travel. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we discuss the Strictly Come Dancing curse, peeling back the curtain with real stats, whilst  in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share a milestone medical achievement that could cut childhood asthma attacks by 45%. In our “Travel Segment” we share our favourite and least favourite thing about Vietnam, What's something you need to know before you go? and Overall, would we recommend it? Finally, we debut our new segment “Vegan Voyagers,” where we decide whether the latest country we visited (Vietnam) earns our unofficial vegan seal of approval. We rate each question from 1 to 5 - How easy is it to find vegan options? How tasty is the vegan food? How affordable is the vegan food? and we tell you the one dish you must try.  

1 – Bad

• Accessibility: Hardly any vegan options around

• Taste: Food is poor, bland, or unappealing

• Cost: Extremely expensive compared to non-vegan food.

5 – Excellent

• Accessibility: Vegan food is everywhere, no effort needed

• Taste: Delicious, high-quality meals across the board

• Cost: Very affordable, cheaper or equal to standard food.
