Join me, Palle Bo, as I land in West Africa and dive into the vibrant chaos of Ghana’s capital. In this first episode from Accra, things don’t exactly go to plan — starting with a stressful border crossing where I’m almost denied entry (and might've been asked for a bribe).

Then it’s on to SIM card struggles, hotel mix-ups, and an unexpected conversation about Danish football in a local Uber. I’m also reunited with my globetrotting travel buddy Cynthia, as we kick off our journey through Ghana, Togo, Benin, and São Tomé.

Plus, I reveal what happened when my Yellow Fever vaccine book nearly grounded me — and what to expect next as our Accra adventures continue.

Key takeaways: – How not having your name in your vaccine book can cause major problems

- Getting a SIM card in Ghana vs. using eSIM with GigSky

- Why Accra is both chaotic and full of charm

- Ghana facts: language, religion, size, and more

- The story of Cynthia Globe and our travels

- Upcoming: fantasy coffins, karaoke surprises, and deeper looks at Ghanaian society

In this episode of The Radio Vagabond, we dive into the world of off-the-beaten-path travel with three extraordinary tour guides I met at the Extraordinary Travel Festival in Bangkok.

Join me as I talk to:

David Van Driessche – a photographer and tour leader who brings travelers into the heart of Papua New Guinea’s remote tribal communities.

Fadi Assi – a passionate advocate for tourism in Syria, offering eye-opening historical and cultural experiences.

Baba Ahmed El Bekay – a pioneer of tourism in Mauritania, home to ancient cities, epic desert adventures, and the iconic Iron Ore Train.

We discuss what makes these destinations so unique, why more travelers should consider visiting them, and how responsible tourism can have a meaningful impact.

This episode is filled with insight, inspiration, and stories you won’t hear on your average travel show.

In this episode, I’m joined by an incredible group of travellers with ties to Denmark. They’ve ventured to some of the world's most remote corners, pushed boundaries, and have fascinating stories to share.

Meet Mette Ehlers Mikkelsen, one country away from visiting every UN nation, who is willing to quit her job to reach her final destination. Thor Pedersen, the man behind Once Upon a Saga, became the first person to visit every country without flying. Cathrine Krogh is an independent and fearless traveller who has visited 164 countries, often solo. Peter Fenger, a well-traveled adventurer who moves so fast I can barely keep up. And Per Besson, my co-host for this episode, a language genius who reached all 193 UN nations while learning local phrases along the way.

We talk about their travel philosophies, what drives them to explore, and the challenges they’ve faced on the road. Get ready for some extraordinary travel stories!

Tune in now for this Viking-style travel adventure!
