From Iran to the Congo, this podcast explores the essential questions any thoughtful traveller considers, such as 'Can I go there?' 'Should I go there?' 'Is it safe?' and 'Is it ethical?' Plus, some inspiring travel tales, and a peek into how Wild Frontiers' shaped their philosophy on how to approach the nuance of what makes a destination 'good' or 'bad'.
