Can you really travel forever? As Alun prepares for another adventure, we dive into the truth about long-term travel. In an episode inspired by a listener's curious questions, we define what 'long-term travel' really means, discuss backpacking burnout, and ask the question every traveller faces: is backpacking a sustainable lifestyle? With a combined 20 years abroad, things are about to get existential, baby!

Plus, Tales of a Trip returns with a travel story involving South Korean bagels. Allow this full circle moment (that's a bagel joke) to warm your hearts and fill your stomachs.
