Every journey begins with a story, and each episode of The Travel Date invites listeners to discover the people, places, cultures and unforgettable experiences that make travelling so special. Through warm, relaxed and engaging conversations, Angelica-Hazel speaks with travellers, travel writers, content creators, tourism professionals, business owners and fascinating guests whose lives have been influenced by their adventures around Australia and across the world.

The Travel Date explores much more than simply where someone has travelled. It discovers why people travel, what they learn along the way and how a destination can change their outlook on life. Guests share their favourite locations, memorable meals, unexpected challenges, hidden gems, cultural experiences and practical travel advice, along with the personal moments and meaningful connections that stay with them long after they return home.

From spontaneous overseas adventures and immersive cultural journeys to luxury escapes, regional road trips, family holidays, wellness retreats and budget-friendly experiences, The Travel Date celebrates the many different ways people explore the world. Whether it is a major international destination or a remarkable place closer to home, every location has a story waiting to be discovered.

Food, culture and human connection are at the heart of the podcast. Angelica-Hazel’s natural curiosity and love of storytelling encourage her guests to go beyond the usual travel recommendations and share the honest, funny, emotional and sometimes life-changing experiences behind their journeys.

Listeners can expect fascinating destination ideas, authentic travel stories, helpful recommendations and plenty of inspiration for their next adventure. The podcast also provides an opportunity to discover local communities, independent tourism operators, accommodation providers, regional businesses and extraordinary destinations throughout South Australia, across Australia and around the world.

The Travel Date is not simply about collecting destinations—it is about collecting moments, creating memories and developing a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. The podcast celebrates travel’s ability to inspire curiosity, build confidence and resilience, strengthen relationships and remind us to make the most of the time we have with the people we love.

Whether you are actively planning your next holiday, dreaming about a faraway destination, searching for practical travel ideas or simply enjoy hearing wonderful stories from interesting people, The Travel Date will leave you informed, entertained and ready to explore.

Take the trip. Taste the food. Meet the people. Collect the moments.

  • Travelling Through Stories with Beverley McWilliams

    Travelling Through Stories with Beverley McWilliams
    Sep 22 2026

    In Episode 24 of The Travel Date, Angelica-Hazel Toutounji is joined by multiple award-winning children’s author Beverley McWilliams for a beautiful conversation about travel, wildlife, family, grief and the places that continue to feel like home.

    Beverley takes us from the rugged coastline and historic villages of Yorkshire to a remote community in northern Thailand, where she stayed with a local family and observed elephants living naturally in the forest.

    She also shares how research for her books has taken her aboard the Pichi Richi Railway, through the historic towns of the Yorke Peninsula and into tropical North Queensland in search of a wild cassowary.

    Along the way, Beverley reflects on becoming a children’s author, travelling with four children, finding inspiration in unexpected places and living with her heart divided between England and Australia.

    If you love travel stories, animals, books, history and discovering places beyond the usual tourist trail, this episode is for you.
