It's party time! Alun's been dancing the days away at Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Expect bright colours and elaborate outfits, street parades, all the caipirinhas, and lots of dancing (and kissing).

Alun shares information and advice about Carnival. He also recounts the story of him getting completely lost, with no phone, no money, and no sun cream. Was he able to charm his way out? Tune in to hear what goes on at the biggest party on earth!

Adam's love affair with bath houses continues as he visits the city of Budapest, Hungary's vibrant capital. Unfortunately, whilst at the renowned Széchenyi thermal baths, he loses his cherished silver necklace and pendant, both of which were gifts from his Grandmothers.

Hoping for the best and preparing for the worst, the search begins to recover his family treasure. Tune in to an episode of mixed emotions!

It's turtlenecks and heads this week, as Alun gets caught short in the Brazilian rainforest! After feeling a 'rumble in the jungle', he makes a snap decision that leaves him 'at one with nature'. Even the most experienced traveller would never guess this plot twist!

Alun also imparts his travel wisdom, after almost making his biggest travel mistake to date. Backpacking through Brazil and arriving at a major crossroads, he leans on the advice of some friends and is rewarded by the universe.

It's party time! Alun's suited and booted in Brazil, fresh from the wedding of his best mate and friend of the show, Wagner. Making the journey all the way from Scotland to São Paulo, and then onto Santos for the wedding, this is one celebration Alun wouldn't miss for the world.

Adam & Alun also discuss every frequent flyer's worst enemy: the carry-on cage of doom. If only our backpacks squeezed into the cage as neatly as Alun squeezed into his suit...

Adam's East Asia trip reaches its grand finale with an incredible 650km cycle ride around the Seto Inland Sea, including Japan's most famous cycle route: the Shimanami Kaido. Highlights include the historically important city of Hiroshima, eating the world's best beef in Kobe, and a drunken night in Marugame involving a lot of free wine and whisky! It's not all fun and games, especially when it comes to immigration. In the second half of the episode, Adam describes a layover in Beijing to remember. When entering China, sometimes following all the rules isn't enough.

This week's special guest is Alun's loyal backpack 'Lucky'. Alun's heading to Brazil for a friend's wedding and, as 'Lucky' would have it, his departure coincides with us receiving an email from a listener enquiring about the contents of our backpacks. We take the opportunity to rummage through Alun's backpack in fine detail, discussing which packs we use and why, the essential items we can't live without, and share our advice on which products we think you should consider.
