We Went to Malaysia for Eyeshadow?! | Mum & Daughter: Boarding Passes & Bad Decisions Ep1

Mum & Daughter: Boarding Passes & Bad Decisions

Friday, 31 July 2026 - 21 minutes

Welcome to the very first episode of Mum and Daughter: Boarding Passes and Bad Decisions — the podcast where travel, chaos and questionable decisions collide!

In this episode, Mum and daughter Steph look back at how their love of travel began, why Darren’s death changed the way they looked at life, and how they went from all-inclusive holidays to becoming self-proclaimed travellers.

From a spontaneous trip from Singapore to a Malaysian market purely to find some mystery eyeshadow, to accidentally booking a love hotel in South Korea, cheap flights, questionable itineraries, porridge in Vietnam and trying to survive Mum’s legendary snoring — there are plenty of stories along the way.

They also debate whether planning is actually useful when Steph keeps coming up with spontaneous ideas, discuss their upcoming trip to Albania, and introduce their first-ever Travel Tip of the Week.

And next time, they're heading to one of their most memorable adventures yet — the DMZ and North Korea.

Expect laughter, travel disasters, bad decisions and plenty of stories that probably should have stayed off the itinerary!
