TrodPod: Bulgaria

TrodPod: Bulgaria

Bulgaria is the Balkans’ best-kept secret, which is both its charm and its tragedy. Sandwiched between Romania, Serbia, North Macedonia, Greece and Turkey, it offers Black Sea beaches, dramatic mountain ranges, ancient Thracian tombs, crumbling Ottoman mosques and an Orthodox monastic tradition of extraordinary beauty – all at prices that make Western Europe weep. The yogurt is excellent, the wine is underrated, and the rose oil is world-famous. Come before everyone else does. Love the pod? Get the guide!

TrodPod: Zambia

Zambia is where the walking safari was born, and the country remains one of Africa’s finest wildlife destinations – raw, uncrowded and thrillingly authentic. From the thundering curtain of Victoria Falls to the intimate game viewing of South Luangwa, this is a country that rewards those willing to venture off the beaten path. It is also one of the continent’s most peaceful and politically stable nations, which helps when you’re trying to relax with a leopard fifteen meters away. Love the pod? Get the guide!

TrodPod: Pakistan

Pakistan routinely astonishes visitors with the gap between reputation and reality. The north alone – a staggering wall of peaks including five of the world’s fourteen eight-thousanders – would justify the trip. But there is so much more: the ancient ruins of Mohenjo-daro, the Mughal splendour of Lahore, the frontier energy of Peshawar, and hospitality so generous it will bloe you away. This is South Asia at its most seductive and surprising. Love the pod? Get the guide! Out with each new podcast, we publish a guide to the country.

TrodPod: Botswana

Botswana is the quiet achiever of southern Africa: a landlocked, sparsely populated country that transformed itself from one of the world’s poorest nations at independence in 1966 into one of the continent’s most stable and prosperous democracies, largely on the back of diamonds. For travelers, though, the draw is wild. The Okavango Delta, the Kalahari Desert and the Chobe River system together make this one of the finest wildlife destinations on earth. It is exclusive, expensive and absolutely worth every penny. Love the pod? Get the guide! Out with each new podcast, we publish a guide to the country.

TrodPod: Suriname

Suriname is South America’s smallest sovereign state and its most quietly extraordinary. Wedged between Guyana, French Guiana and Brazil, it is a country of vast, largely untouched rainforest, languid rivers and a capital city where mosques, synagogues and Hindu temples sit side by side. Once swapped by the Dutch for New York – arguably history’s most lopsided deal – Suriname today is a cultural kaleidoscope shaped by Indigenous, African, Indian, Javanese, Chinese and Dutch traditions. It is small, strange and utterly beguiling. Love the pod? Get the guide! Out with each new podcast, we publish a guide to the country.
