Evo Terra & Sheila Dee take over the world.
Travel stories from around the world collected and shared as podcasts, videos, and photography, as experienced and created by Evo Terra and Sheila Dee.
Find out why we left Bangkok for Huntsville Alabama and why you should always take the coconut oil offered by tourists with oozing wounds the next time you’re in on a tropical island in Cambodia.
Read MoreIf Siem Reap Cambodia isn’t on your bucket list - your bucket list sucks. Listen to find out why we were so impressed with the history and not even a little concerned we looked like a couple of tourists.
Read MoreWe finally had that classic Thai experience of partying with the Ricola people and every key influencer in SE Asia on a rooftop bar in Bangkok. And then things got weird.
Read MoreTraveling with families is either awesome or terrible. There is no inbetween. Toss a wedding in the mix, and the scales start tipping in the wrong direction. But just add in swingers, and everything is balanced. Confused? Don’t be. Terrified? You should be.
Read MoreEstonia’s history is funny, so long as you like dark humor. Dark, as in murderous and depressing. But modern day Estonians seem to laugh it off, with a “well, anything has to be better than that past” attitude. And a lot of beer.
Read MoreFrom inappropriate music to inappropriately dressed cheerleaders, NHL fans will be a little surprised when they take in a match in the Kontinental Hockey League (totally not a typo.)
Read MoreFind out why Evo joined five ladies in a sauna and quickly earned the nickname “American Ice Hole” on the Wild Taiga trip. And yes, that means exactly what you think it means.
Read MoreFind out what makes Finland is the undisputed king of sauna and why Thailand’s version makes for a poor competitor. Oh, and lots of talk about getting beaten off (on?) with sticks. Because Finland.
Read MoreOf NHL scouts and ancient mapping systems from when the internet was young. Somehow, we pull a funny travel story out of that.
Read MorePentecostals speaking in tongues have nothing on sak yant tattoo devotees in the throws of possession. Yeah, that’s a thing in Thailand that you have to witness to understand. But we’ll try...

Riding a motorbike in Thailand is dangerous business, but it is an interesting way to get to the city of Ayutthaya, just a few (billion) kilometers north of Bangkok. We did it. It wasn’t smart.
Read MoreWe spent three weeks in Copenhagen in February of 2015. And we didn’t see a single prostituted. Maybe they were hiding out in an ambulance designed for sex workers?
Read MoreThis episode is dedicated to the man who made Evo into the storyteller and showman he is today.
Read MoreWe fell off the “responsible travel blogging” wagon this week, visiting one of Bangkok’s iconic dens of depravity. So much for the “sexy” side of “sex tourism”. [shudder]
Read MoreEnding TBEX on a note of overconsumption led to an epic tour by plane, van, and boat of the Philippines that shouldn’t be missed. Well, Evo’s pretty sure he should have missed it. But it does make for an entertaining show.
Read MoreOut of all the natural disasters we’ve survived (fire, flood, earthquake, tornado…) coming through unscathed through a typhoon in The Philippines was of the more mild. Though it did lead us to some really stupid choices. I’m pretty sure the “l” in Manila is silent.
Read MoreWe dedicate this show to the passing of His Royal Highness King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand.
Read MoreOf all the dumb, drunken things you can do in The Dominican Republic, only one will get you special consideration from the airlines and immigration. An no, we don’t mean deportation. Not this time, at least.
Read MoreOne quick way to get deported from Bangkok? Have your mild-mannered international teacher cover story blown by those meddling kids.
Read MoreSome days, living in Thailand is like living in paradise. Other times, it’s like the system is conspiring against us. So when an opportunity to screw with the system comes along, one of us is probably going to take it.
