In this episode or Wandering Wild, I’m joined by my brother, John, and close friend, Roean, two professional scuba divers and first-time backpackers! We talk about diving with thresher sharks in Malapascua, Philippines, island hopping adventures, monkeys in Kanchanaburi, and what surprised them most about the backpacker lifestyle.

As we sit by a peaceful river in Nam Tok we swap stories of backpacking Southeast Asia, staying in hostels, and making connections on the road.

If you’re dreaming of your first backpacking trip, shark diving, or just love authentic travel stories from Thailand and the Philippines… this one’s for you!
