About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a down-to-earth, friendship-driven travel adventure with real setbacks and big scenery, similar to Long Way Round; Not for you if heavy partying, immature jokes, or host chemistry issues would ruin the trip.

Pros: authentic buddy travel energy; varied global destinations; inspiring sense of adventure | Cons: lots of drinking scenes; one host can irritate; pacing feels slow sometimes
