  • Why San Antonio Texas is a must-visit for history and culture lovers: A travel guide

    Why San Antonio Texas is a must-visit for history and culture lovers: A travel guide
    Oct 9 2026
    San Antonio, Texas, is full of history and culture. It features one of the country's most important historic corridors, centred around the state's first and only UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is known for its 18th-century Spanish colonial buildings and the rich stories that shaped the American Southwest, the frontier, and the Texas Revolution. San Antonio's culture blends Texan and Mexican traditions, which is why it's often called the "Tejano heart of Texas." With over 300 years of influence from Spanish, Mexican, Indigenous, and German communities, the city feels more like its own unique region than a typical American city. In this on-location episode, presenter Portia Jones and producer Luke Jones visit famous places like the Alamo, Texas's most popular historic site. They step back in time at Missions National Historical Park, get a behind-the-scenes look at the Witte Museum, and enjoy a sunset cocktail at a historic spot with great views of the city. Along the way, we meet local experts, learn the stories behind San Antonio's favourite historic sites, and find out why this Texas city should be on every curious traveller's list. If you're planning a trip to San Antonio and want an audio travel guide to Alamo City, tune in for what to do, where to go and the experiences worth adding to your San Antonio bucket list.

  • We booked a £99 Wowcher Mystery Holiday with no clue where we were going, was it worth it?

    We booked a £99 Wowcher Mystery Holiday with no clue where we were going, was it worth it?
    Sep 25 2026
    What happens when you let fate decide where you're going on holiday? We test the viral Wowcher £99 mystery holiday to see if it's worth it and what you need to know. On this fun episode, Producer Luke has been persuaded by his cavalier wife and Travel Goals presenter Portia to take a gamble on a £99 Wowcher Mystery Holiday, a popular holiday deal where you pay a fixed price for a package that includes flights and accommodation, but you don't get to choose the destination. The budget deal instead offers return flights and two nights in a hotel abroad at a low price. It could be Dubai, New York, the Maldives, Las Vegas, or Mexico, or European destinations such as Paris, Monaco, Sicily, and Lake Como; you won't know until you pay for the deal and let the travel gods decide. Your destination is allocated via a randomised draw and is subject to availability, so you're effectively gambling your annual leave on the chance of a long-haul trip, or a super-budget stay somewhere in Europe. In this episode, recorded on location and in the studio, we cover exactly how the deal works, how you find out the mystery destination, the flights, the accommodation, the unexpected costs, and what it is like trying to enjoy a budget holiday when so much of the trip has already been decided for you. If you have ever looked at a Wowcher Mystery Holiday, a £99 mystery holiday or one of the many cheap holiday deals promising a surprise destination, this is what happened when we decided to find out whether the gamble was actually worth taking. Get your Wowcher Mystery holiday here and let us know if it was worth it! *********** Hi, I'm your podcast host, Portia Jones [nickname Pip Jones].

  • The outdoor adventures and attractions you need to experience in San Antonio, Texas: Your travel guide

    The outdoor adventures and attractions you need to experience in San Antonio, Texas: Your travel guide
    Sep 12 2026
    Can San Antonio, Texas, really be one of the USA's most underrated adventure and attraction destinations? In this immersive, on-location episode, presenter Portia Jones and Producer Luke Jones explore the outdoor adventures, attractions, and wildlife areas that make San Antonio more than the home of the Alamo and Tex-Mex eats. From the city's famous River Walk to Texas-style safaris, underground caverns, cowboy rodeos and heart-pounding rollercoasters, San Antonio has plenty to keep adventurous travellers busy. We'll wander and boat along the River Walk, spotting wildlife and discovering the surprising natural side of this urban waterway, before heading out of the city to meet giraffes at Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch and venture underground into the spectacular Natural Bridge Caverns. Then it's time to embrace our inner cowboys at Tejas Rodeo, where we'll watch bull riding, barrel racing, roping and the wonderfully chaotic Mutton Bustin', before turning up the adrenaline at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Built into a former limestone quarry, the theme park is home to huge coasters, gravity-defying rides and some very questionable decisions on our part. Along the way, we'll meet local experts, uncover the stories behind some of San Antonio's best-loved attractions and discover why this Texas city deserves to be on the radar of anyone looking for adventure, wildlife, outdoor experiences and things to do beyond the usual tourist trail. If you're planning a trip to San Antonio and want to see a different side of the Alamo City, tune in for what to do, where to go and the experiences worth adding to your San Antonio bucket list.
