Take a Wander with Shebs
Take a Wander with Shebs showcases some of the top personalities in the tourism industry.
What distinguishes this podcast from other travel podcasts? Each episode tries to take my guests on a journey to uncover matters they may not have discussed on their platform or in the media. The show's subjects for discussion will cover more than simply travel locations, favourite places or foods, and how to travel efficiently.
I go deeper into why and what an individual may have learnt from a trip or what influence an event or occasion had on their lives whilst travelling. There are no topics that are off-limits. The podcast's goal is to keep listeners guessing and to motivate them to travel, learn, and be better individuals overall.
Get ready to be inspired and Take a Wander with Shebs!

From Olympian to Politician to YouTube Adventurer: Meet The Cruising Kiwis – Sailing, Travel, & More
Led by parents Rob (an ex-Olympic rower) and Rachel (a twice gold medal winner at the World Triathlon Championships) Hamill, The Cruising Kiwis, along with their three boys, Finn, Declan, and Ivan, have an unusual and poignant story, which really sets them apart from other families who have broken free of the rat race to sail around the world.
Back in the mid-1970s, Rob's eldest brother, Kerry, set off in his 28-foot sailing boat to sail from Australia up to SE Asia. In 1978, while cruising off the coast of Cambodia, he and his crewmate were captured by the Khmer Rouge Navy, imprisoned, interrogated, and tortured, which ended with them being executed, after signing false confessions that they were CIA operatives.
This tragic backstory led the family to decide to retrace Kerry's journey and document it on their YouTube channel.
This interview tells you all you need to know.
