    Ep 193 w/ Amanda Kendle - Should You Travel to Antarctica? Ethical Travel & The Cruel Reality of Wildlife TourismIn this thought-provoking episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I’m joined by Amanda Kendle from The Thoughtful Travel Podcast to unpack two of the most controversial topics in modern travel: Antarctica tourism and wildlife experiences.We dive deep into the ethical dilemma of visiting one of the most fragile places on Earth. With Antarctica losing billions of tons of ice every year and tourism numbers rising fast, is it still justifiable to go? Or are we contributing to the very destruction we claim to care about?Then we shift to wildlife tourism—an industry many travellers engage with without fully understanding the consequences. From elephant riding in Thailand to tiger encounters and zoo ethics, we explore what’s really happening behind the scenes and how travel has evolved over the years.This isn’t about guilt—it’s about awareness. We both reflect honestly on our own past travel experiences, mistakes included, and discuss how travellers can make better, more responsible choices moving forward.If you’ve ever questioned the impact of your travels, this episode will challenge your perspective and help you think more critically about how you explore the world.Amanda Kendle/The Thoughtful Travel PodcastWebsite - https://www.notaballerina.comApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-thoughtful-travel-podcast/id1269489189Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3AwRGIPRytKa9Txnz1cGBK?si=644319aec60f4f92Support Winging It Travel PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Leave a 5-star rating or review on your podcast app☕ Support the show at buymeacoffee.com/wingingit🌍 Explore more episodes at wingingittravelpodcast.com✈️ Check out more great travel podcasts at https://voyascape.com📺 Now also on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@wingingittravelpodcast⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Intro & welcome to Amanda Kendle02:15 – Perth vs Vancouver: travel memories & lifestyle chat06:45 – Topic 1: Should we travel to Antarctica?09:50 – Shocking facts about Antarctica’s ice loss11:15 – Tourism boom & rising visitor numbers12:30 – The real cost of visiting Antarctica14:30 – Carbon footprint & environmental impact explained17:05 – Why even scientists are choosing not to return20:00 – Can tourism ever be justified in Antarctica?23:00 – The problem with regulation & greenwashing25:20 – Final thoughts: would we go?26:10 – Topic 2: Wildlife tourism ethics26:30 – Personal stories: elephant rides & tiger encounters31:00 – The brutal reality behind elephant tourism34:50 – How wildlife tourism has evolved (and still needs to change)36:00 – Seeing animals in the wild vs captivity38:00 – Cultural differences & lack of awareness globally39:30 – Elephant riding bans & progress in Southeast Asia41:00 – Sanctuaries vs exploitation: what’s real?43:00 – Are zoos ethical?

  • The Songs That Build My Wanderlust & Invoke Happy Travel Memories

    The Songs That Build My Wanderlust & Invoke Happy Travel Memories
    2026/04/20
    What if a song could take you somewhere you've never been? Or transport you straight back to a beach, a bus ride, or an open road on the other side of the world?In this solo episode I'm sharing the songs that have shaped my travel life — from the early days of dreaming about the world from my bedroom, through my first big adventure in 2013, all the way to life on the road today.Some of these songs painted pictures of places before I'd ever set foot there. Others are locked forever to a specific moment — a sweaty dance floor in Thailand, a hungover bus ride through New Zealand, a road trip across Canada that changed everything.Seven songs. A lifetime of wanderlust. And one or two choices that might genuinely surprise you.Whether you're a seasoned traveller or still dreaming of that first big trip, this one might just make you want to book a flight, hire a campervan and disappear.🎵 Matt Monro 🎵 Kid Francescoli 🎵 David Guetta feat. Sia 🎵 Jim Reeves 🎵 Sérgio Mendes 🎵 Percy Faith 🎵 TiëstoWhat songs do this for you?

  • From Norwich to Vancouver: A Sheltered Upbringing, Having A Travel Purpose & A Need To Learn More

    From Norwich to Vancouver: A Sheltered Upbringing, Having A Travel Purpose & A Need To Learn More
    2026/04/13
    In this deeply personal solo episode, I take you through my full travel journey—from growing up in Norwich with no real concept of travel, to building a life around it in Vancouver and around the world.This isn’t just a story about where I’ve been—it’s about how my mindset around travel has completely evolved over time.From partying through Southeast Asia in my early 20s, to seeking culture, connection, and purpose in my 30s… this episode breaks down the different phases of travel, what changed, and why I now see travel as a long-term lifestyle rather than a short-term escape.I also share honest reflections on burnout, money, building a travel-focused career, and what the future of travel looks like for me.If you’ve ever wondered how travel fits into your life long-term—or how your relationship with it might change over time—this one’s for you.To finish, I want to share with you, the audience, an episode where you get to know me more. I have been doing this for five years, and I believe sharing more personal details will help build a tighter Winging It community.I hope you enjoy the episode and that it inspires you to travel for the first time or to dream about making it a lifestyle. Drop me a comment on your thoughts, too.Support the PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Leave a 5-star rating or review on your podcast app☕ Support the show at buymeacoffee.com/wingingit🌍 Explore more episodes at wingingittravelpodcast.com✈️ Check out more great travel podcasts at https://voyascape.com⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Why I’m sharing this story02:00 Growing up in Norwich & early curiosity about the world05:30 School trips & no real travel mindset yet08:00 Moving to London & first exposure to diversity09:30 Australia 2010 – the trip that changed everything11:30 The moment I decided to travel long-term12:50 Ukraine road trip & first taste of raw travel14:30 Planning the 2013 backpacking trip15:20 Leaving the UK & heading into the unknown17:00 First culture shock in Bangkok18:30 Southeast Asia – party travel & backpacker life20:00 Australia – working life & maturing22:30 Smartphones & how travel started to change23:30 South America solo travel & shift to culture25:00 Realising travel had evolved for me26:00 India 2016 – second major culture shock27:30 Meeting Emma & planning long-term travel28:30 Health scare & motivation to live fully29:30 15 months of travel as a couple31:00 New Zealand, Cook Islands & finding “paradise”32:00 Turning 30 mindset shift & continuing travel32:30 Moving to Canada & new chapter33:00 COVID & travel uncertainty34:30 Starting the podcast during lockdown35:00 Planning the 1-year world trip36:00 Travel becomes a lifestyle, not a phase37:00 The reality of trying to make money while travelling38:00 Returning to work & rebuilding39:30 How I see travel now40:00 The future: combining work & travel41:00 Why having a base matters41:50 Upcoming trips & current lifestyle42:00 Travel in my late 30s vs early 20s43:00 Advice for travellers (young & older)44:00 Final reflections on travel & life45:00 Personal facts & closing thoughts46:30 Where to find me & support the podcast--------------------------------------------------------------Produced by Winging It Productions - ⁠https://www.wingingitproductions.com⁠Voyascape: Travel Podcast Network - https://voyascape.com/Winging It Travel Podcast - Website--------------------------------------------------------------Winging It Travel Podcast CreditsHost/Producer/Creator/Composer/Editor - James HammondContact me - jameshammondtravel@gmail.com or james@wingingitproductions.comSocial Media - follow me on:InstagramTikTok Facebook--------------------------------------------------------------Affiliate Links If you click one of the below to book something, I get a tiny commission, which helps the podcast.Book Flights with Skyscanner - HereUse Revolut Travel Card - HereBook Hostels With Hostelworld - HereBooking.com - HereBook Experiences With Viator - HereDiscovery Car Hire - HereBook Buses With Busbud - HereBook Trains With Trainline - HereTravel Insurance with SafetyWing - HereBook Flights With Expedia Canada - Here--------------------------------------------------------------Thanks for supporting me and the podcast!Cheers James.Mentioned in this episode:Check out all of our other travel podcasts from around the worldThis podcast is part of Voyascape, a podcast network that brings together the world's best travel podcasts.
