Hither and Yon Pt. 2

In Part 2, Terry, Jackie Rae Greening and Network Travel’s Rick McSwain continue their trip around the world without leaving the podcast studio. They explore upcoming adventures including Portugal golf escapes, the Road to Vimy Canadian military history tour, a Kenya safari, Japan in Bloom and an unforgettable expedition to Antarctica.
Then Rick takes us inside his recent trip to the Philippines—a destination he admits wasn’t even on his radar despite visiting more than 90 countries. From Manila to the spectacular island of Palawan, Rick shares why he believes the Philippines may be one of travel’s best-kept secrets. There’s island hopping, whale sharks, sea turtles, zip-lining, incredible food and remarkably welcoming people.
And then there are the giant worms living inside mangrove logs. Yes, apparently people eat them. No, Rick did not.
Plus, Rick teases two new Network Travel adventures still to come.
