90. TrodPod: St Kitts & Nevis
15:54||Ep. 90St Kitts & Nevis – the Western Hemisphere's smallest sovereign nation – packs considerable punch into its modest acreage. These twin volcanic islands in the Lesser Antilles offer a potent cocktail of colonial fortresses, sugar-plantation history, and Alexander Hamilton lore, all wrapped up in rainforest, beaches, and surprisingly good diving. It's the Caribbean distilled: rum punches, steel pans, and enough hiking trails to work off the Johnny cakes. Small it may be, but forgettable it is not.Love the pod? Get the guide!

88. TrodPod: Croatia
19:57||Ep. 88Strung along the Adriatic like a sun-bleached necklace of islands, walled cities, and limestone cliffs, Croatia packs a disproportionate punch. Ancient Roman palaces double as living neighbourhoods, medieval fortresses guard turquoise coves, and a coastline once fought over by empires now belongs to the sun-seekers. Discovered and rediscovered, Croatia wears its beauty with the weary grace of a place that's seen it all before.Love the pod? Get the guide!

87. TrodPod: Vietnam
23:47||Ep. 87Vietnam stretches along the eastern edge of Southeast Asia like a dragon's spine, its coastline unfurling for over 3,000 kilometers.

Ancient pagodas stand beside French colonial architecture, while motorbikes swarm through cities that pulse with entrepreneurial energy. The food alone justifies the journey.Love the pod?

85. TrodPod: Niger
24:47||Ep. 85Niger sits landlocked in the heart of West Africa's Sahel, where sand meets sky in dramatic fashion. Named after the mighty river that curves through its southwestern corner, this is Africa's largest nation by area, though much of it consists of the Sahara Desert in varying moods. It's hot, remote, politically volatile, and utterly mesmerizing – a place where ancient trade routes still whisper stories and the horizon seems to stretch into eternity.Love the pod? Get the guide!

84. TrodPod: Tonga
20:50||Ep. 84The Kingdom of Tonga is the Pacific's only surviving monarchy, a scatter of 170-odd islands (36 inhabited) straddling the international date line where yesterday meets tomorrow.
