Take a Wander with Shebs

Shebs Alom

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!

Rowing To The Horizon: The Incredible Journey Across The Pacific In 39 Days | Paris Norriss
This is a special landmark episode, as it's the 100th show! I felt it fitting for Travel Host and entrepreneur Paris Norriss to speak to me on this special episode about his recent expedition rowing across the Pacific Ocean. Paris has been on the show previously (https://youtu.be/pDteFs8p9go), where you talked to me about the beginning of his journey and how he made his show, Guy in Dubai, a huge hit. In this episode, Paris talked to me about how he completed the biggest adventure of his life when he successfully rowed 4,800km across the Pacific Ocean. Only 82 people in history had ever attempted to row the world’s largest ocean, and it took him and his team 39 days of battling through two storms, 40ft waves and strange encounters with mysterious marine life to complete this journey. I spoke to him about the reason why he wanted to do this and what was the purpose. We also delved into whether he documented this on film or not. And what did he learn from it? We also discussed what is next for him. It's a fascinating discussion, and it's so great to have Paris as my 100th episode of the podcast.
