Why East Asia? Leaving Home for a Life in South Korea & Japan

East Asia bound! Alun announces he's off to South Korea, and then onto Japan to commence his Japan working holiday visa, but why? We hear Alun's motives, as he prepares for life in two countries that he's fantasised about for a long, long time.
Tales of a Trip returns with a powerful message from a seasoned traveller. We dive into prejudice, the real impact of expats on local communities, and why integration matters when living abroad.
Support the show and access the Lost & Found section, as we continue to discuss the thought-provoking travel topics above, as well as how we've observed backpacking change over the past decade.
