History
The first episode of the podcast appeared in January 2019 on various streaming platforms. There is also a channel on YouTube, but this is negligible for the podcast format and is only used for videos from live performances. Over 80 episodes have appeared since it was launched. New episodes usually appear every two weeks on Saturdays. They summarize a country briefly and concisely in 30 minutes. Since the two creators have residences in Hamburg and Barcelona, the podcast is recorded and edited from these different locations.

Content
The two moderators talk about their travel experiences in the episodes. The two full-time workers have already explored more than 100 countries. “How do you pack lightly and how can you save when traveling? Adrian Klie and Christoph Streicher have [...] practical tips plus funny stories about their own travels across the world and through their favorite continent, Europe. " It is also about alternative forms of travel. "Because the travelers have little money but a lot of creative solutions, they don't stay in luxury hotels, but sometimes camp under trees and take the night train".
