Episode 17 - Andrew Melling: Elephant Taxis

Travel Bubble

In this episode we talk to Andrew Melling about the places he would add to his bubble. Originally from the UK, Andrew has called Thailand his home for the past 15 years after being persuaded to move there after an intriguing mode of transport promise. In this episode we cover a number of different countries with plenty of tales to tell from playing football in ancient ruins to running away from bulls.

Every year Andrew makes a list of things to accomplish, with this year’s including growing a mullet and fire juggling. Past lists have seen him jumping out of a plane, cycling from Singapore to North Thailand and riding an ostrich.

During this episode, we also talk about a country which he compared to being like ‘one massive toy store’, find out what unusual mode of transport he hopes to ride when there and what food he has finally discovered he likes after 30 years.
