Further afield, Rachel regales us with the region’s charms – think lofty mountains, beautiful lakes and fairytale palaces.

This week we've got a very special bonus episode with social media sensation Kacie Rose, whose funny and refreshingly honest account of the highs and lows of living abroad has earned her a following of over 1.5 million people.

In conversation with Lucy Richards, Kacie talks all about the joys of solo travel, dealing with homesickness, embracing failure and the importance of doing the sh*t that scares you.

Plus, tune in for a behind the scenes look into the making of Kacie's brand new book, You Deserve Good Gelato.

This week we’re off to Quebec with food and travel writer Pamela MacNaughton. Together we explore the vibrant culture, sights and flavours of Canada’s largest province, often fondly referred to as “the Europe of North America.”

Tune in for hot chocolate snobbery, postcard perfect views in Quebec City, mural art in Montreal and ice canoeing across the Saint Lawrence River. Of course, we couldn’t forget to mention Canada’s national dish in the place it originated – it goes without saying poutine is on the menu.

Pamela's restaurant recommendations:

Aux Anciens Canadiens (traditional québécois cuisine) 

Buffet de l'Antiquaire (diner with breakfast poutine)

Chez Gaston (traditional poutine)

Restaurant Sagamité (Indigenous cuisine)

Where to Go is back for season 7! Starting off in style, we're headed to the Deep South with special guest Lynn Brown.

Home to world-famous festivals, evocative landscapes, an unmatched musical legacy and a complex history, this week's region gives us plenty to talk about.  

Tune in for unmissable jazz in New Orleans, the little-known white sand beaches in Alabama and the surprising connection between food and the civil rights movement.

Hosting a mind-boggling array of monuments, Egypt is a historical destination on the grandest scale. The towering Pyramids of Giza and hieroglyphic-rich tombs of the Valley of the Kings may be the country’s main calling card, but today’s guest Monica Gerges shows us there is far more to the country than its ancient bounty. 

We discuss everything from the delightful chaos of culture-rich Cairo to the rainbow reefs of the Red Sea and the serene hot springs of the Siwa Oasis. Plus, we get an intriguing tease for the Grand Egyptian Museum.
