Episode 13 of Travel Bubble is with Jake Lawrenson, a photographer, documentarian and good friend of the show.

He is a seasoned traveller with early experiences of holidaying on the back of a Harley Davidson in America and road-tripping around Europe. More recently, when not travelling with work, Jake and I have been known to explore a number of places across the globe together, with a few memorable tales shared on this podcast.

Food is a hot topic in episode 13, from where to get the best egg butties in the world, to grilled Kit Kats, Mars bars on the Great Wall of China, and the now-infamous monkey arm tale from episode one getting a mention again.

We also chat about men carrying goats, mourning monks, almost being stranded on an island, wandering the streets of Asia for the best photographs, impressive funerals and losing your passport
