We've all said this: "I want to take a year off work just to travel." Well, Yvette's friend Jeanette did just that. In 2020, she was in a work-and-travel programme in New Zealand - yes, through lockdown. Today, we discuss the benefits and costs of a year off, the "Singapore dream", and convincing Kenneth to live a few months in Japan.

First podcast of 2021! 2020 has been an odd whirl of time going too fast or too too slow, and we ask ourselves: has it been all bad? Did we have any personal highs in the year: finding a new job, discovering a love for streaming? And what would we like to bring into 2021?

Travelling overseas seems like a pointless dream now, but hey, we are dreamers, okay, so let's talk about where we would like to travel to next.
