We share why this country completely lived up to the hype, the moment Shelby learnt the Mexican sun plays by its own rules, and why the stereotypes your parents warned you about don't tell the full story. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we reveal the first impressions that hit us the moment we landed, while “Vegan Voyagers” puts Mexico's plant-based scene to the test in a country famous for its food. Finally, in “Worth The Trip” we give our honest verdict on Mexico, including one destination that didn't quite live up to its reputation and the one thing you absolutely need to know before you go.Chapters(01:35) – Does Mexico Have the Best Wonder in the World?(03:28) – Why We Went and Where We Have Been In Mexico?(06:09) – Jet Lag Judgements: Mexico(08:24) – Vegan Voyagers: Mexico(13:52) – Worth The Trip: MexicoRecommended Episodes🔍 Search for: Ultimate “COUNTRY” Travel Guide, and you will find all our country review episodes.

We talk huge fluffy pancakes drenched in maple syrup, the quiet family neighbourhood that made Scott feel like he had stepped back into childhood, and how Toronto somehow feels calm even when it is busy. We share the unforgettable beauty of Niagara Falls, nearly driving into the USA by mistake, the reality of getting around when taxis cost a fortune and why Canada felt far less American than Scott expected. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we reveal what struck us first after landing, while “Vegan Voyagers” puts Canada’s plant-based scene to the test, including one maple-covered dish we still think about.

S2: Kids, Marriage and Changing Values, The Ruby Franke Case | Yalla Habibi Podcast 23.06.2026 45minWe ask one of the biggest relationship questions of all: what happens when the person you love changes? From children and marriage to veganism and life goals, we explore whether there are some differences that love simply can’t overcome, and whether chasing the future you imagined is ever worth losing the person you imagined it with. Along the way, we share our own experiences of changing views on kids, marriage, and the values that have shaped our relationship. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we unpack the disturbing rise and fall of Mormon parenting influencer Ruby Franke, how a series of gradual changes led to one of the internet’s most shocking true-crime stories. Meanwhile, “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shares a powerful Seth Rogen quote that might completely change how you see your partner and what it really takes to build lasting love.

"For us, happiness comes from spending life with our best friend." "Her 12-year-old son finally escaped from this hellhole through a window and went to a neighbor asking for food and water."

S2: Do Successful Relationships Need Shared Values—or Just Mutual Respect? | Yalla Habibi Podcast 16.06.2026 34minWe explore one of the biggest questions in modern relationships: do opposites actually attract, or is long-term love built on similarity dressed up as compromise? From vegan and omnivore dynamics to Conservative and Labour worldviews, and even the clash between feminist thinking and alpha male ideology, we break down where difference adds depth and where it starts to quietly test a relationship’s foundations. Along the way, we ask whether holding onto your identity means you’re incompatible—or just honest about what you need. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we look at a study that flips a common dating belief on its head and reveals what actually seems to be true about what holds couples together. Whilst in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share a simple but powerful finding about relationships that might say more about compatibility than any difference ever could.Chapters(02:49) – Can a Vegan and an Omnivore Actually Make It Work?(11:05) – Can a Conservative/Republican and a Labour/Democrat Supporter Really Make It Work?(20:08) – Can a Feminist and an Alpha Male Live Happily Ever After?(27:15) – When Does Compromise Become Self-Betrayal?(28:09) – Scott's WTF of the Week: 89% Alike?

S2: What's the Best Dating App for Vegans in Their 20s and 30s Looking for a Serious Relationship? | Yalla Habibi Podcast 10.06.2026 49minIn Series 2, Finding The One When You're Not Everyone's Type, we're exploring a question that millions of people wrestle with: can you find a serious relationship on dating apps without compromising who you are? Using veganism as a case study, we examine what happens when your values, lifestyle, identity, or circumstances shrink your dating pool, and whether staying true to yourself actually helps or hurts your chances of finding love. We kick off the series with a question that sounds simple but turns out to be anything but: what’s the best dating app for vegans looking for a serious relationship? We share the challenges of putting yourself out there when something that matters deeply to you already narrows the dating pool, the apps we loved and hated, how we eventually found each other, and why we think most people are asking the wrong question entirely. Along the way, we revisit our catfish stories and explore whether dating profiles tell you anything meaningful about compatibility at all. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week”, PETA runs a dating app experiment that produces a result nobody saw coming—raising a bigger question about what people are really looking for when they swipe right. Whilst in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only”, a surprising piece of relationship research challenges one of the most common pieces of dating advice and offers a more hopeful perspective on finding the right person.Chapters(02:43) – The Worst Dating App We Tried(07:35) – When Veganism Became a Dating Problem(09:10) – The Biggest Fear Vegans Have on Dating Apps(13:01) – The Best Dating App for Vegans Looking for a Serious Relationship(20:50) – Can You Judge Compatibility from a Dating Profile?

Ultimate Nicaragua Travel Guide: First Impressions & What No One Tells You | Yalla Habibi Podcast 19.05.2026 35minHere’s your ultimate guide to Nicaragua — a country maybe not on your radar, but this episode might just change that. This country has somehow survived pirates, American invasions, revolutions, and repeated destruction. After ruling out Guatemala due to its state of emergency following a surge in gang violence, we spent a month exploring Nicaragua from our base in San Juan del Sur, with trips to Granada, Ometepe and the island’s capital, Moyogalpa. And we can't forget to mention our host who gave off equal parts party legend and mafia boss energy. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we share what Nicaragua hits you with on day one and the first impressions that caught us off guard. “Vegan Voyagers” asks whether this beach destination quietly delivers for plant-based travellers, and in “Worth The Trip” we give our final verdict, including one thing you really need to know before visiting because Semana Santa is not quite what it sounds.Chapters(04:03) – Why Did We Choose Nicaragua - San Juan Del Sur?(05:24) – Was Our Host a Mafia Boss?(06:41) – Is Spanglish a Real Word?(07:43) – Jet Lag Judgements: Nicaragua(11:18) – Vegan Voyagers: Nicaragua (21:52) – Worth The Trip: NicaraguaRecommended Episodes🎧 Ultimate Costa Rica Travel Guide: What It’s Really Like & Is It Worth It | Yalla Habibi Podcast📺 Series 1🎧 S1: The Dark Side of Full Time Travel, When Freedom Doesn’t Feel Like Freedom | Yalla Habibi Podcast🎧 S1: Why Travel Arguments Escalate Fast & What It Reveals About Your Relationship | Yalla Habibi Podcast🎧 S1: 35,000 Daily Decisions and Why They’re Straining Your Relationship | Yalla Habibi Podcast🎧 S1: No.1 Intimacy Coach: Does Travel Make or Break a Relationship & Warning Signs Couples Miss – Monica Tanner, Author: Bad Marriage Advice & Host: Secrets of Happily Ever After | Yalla Habibi PodcastAdditional References🍽️ Dale Pues: https://dalepuessjds.com/🍽️ Nacho: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4UfUan6N5V6FfbW5A?g_st=aw🍽️ Dumplings Aqui: https://www.instagram.com/dumplingsaqui/---------------------------------------------------------------SubscribeIf you have ever enjoyed any of these episodes, could we ask you to please consider any or all of these: Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share and leave a short Review?

If you’re wondering what it’s actually like to spend real time here, we’ve got you. We spent a full month travelling up and down the country, experiencing it alongside our friends and their nine pets. In this episode, we answer the questions you’re probably already asking. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we break down what hits you in those first few hours, from endless greenery to a feeling that’s oddly familiar in a way you wouldn’t expect. In “Vegan Voyagers” we put the food scene to the test so you can decide whether a country this rich in nature translates to a vegan-friendly plate. And in “Worth The Trip” we get honest about what it’s really like spending time here, what might surprise you, what might not land, and whether Costa Rica actually lives up to the version you’ve got in your head.Chapters(03:48) – Why Did We Choose Costa Rica?(06:25) – Costa Ricans Don’t Like Nicaraguans?

S1: No.1 Intimacy Coach: Does Travel Make or Break a Relationship & Warning Signs Couples Miss – Monica Tanner, Author: Bad Marriage Advice & Host: Secrets of Happily Ever After | Yalla Habibi Podcast 05.05.2026 34minWe’re joined by Monica Tanner this week, a certified relationship and intimacy coach, keynote speaker, and author with over two decades of real marriage experience, to put our relationship under the microscope and answer the question at the heart of this series, does travel make or break a relationship, and what actually determines the outcome? We get into what a modern relationship actually looks like today, who really defines it, and the warning signs couples often miss until it is too late. You’ll hear why arguments seem to show up faster when you travel together, how money quietly creates tension, and what separates couples who thrive from those who don’t. We also challenge the advice you’ve likely heard your whole life, from never going to bed angry to happy wife happy life, and why it might be doing more harm than good. By the end, we strip it all back to what really matters and what travel might reveal in your own relationship that everyday life can hide.Chapters(02:47) – What Defines a Traditional vs Modern Relationship Today, and How Do They Differ?(04:10) – Is a Modern Relationship Defined by the Couple or by Society?(05:33) – What Are the Key Warning Signs a Couple Won’t Last?(07:56) – What Is Your View on Finances in a Relationship, and Does It Differ if Married or Not?(13:45) – How Can Partners Align on Finances and Shared Goals?(17:54) – What Do Strong Couples Do Differently When Travelling?(21:02) – For Couples Who Don’t Want to Travel, What Are Three Ways to Balance Love, Adventure, and Freedom?(24:09) – Was This Always the Plan With the Book, What Inspired It?(27:06) – For Long-Term Couples, Why Should They Read the Book?(28:22) – Does Travel Make or Break a Relationship — and What Actually Determines the Outcome?(30:04) – On The RecordRecommended EpisodesCheck out these episodes in this series:🎧 S1: EP95 | Decision Fatigue in Relationships & Quiet Resentment Between Us | Yalla Habibi Podcast🎧 S1: EP94 | The Travel Moment That Breaks Every Couple & What It Reveals | Yalla Habibi Podcast🎧 S1: EP93 | Expectation vs Reality of Couple Travel & How it Changed Us | Yalla Habibi PodcastAdditional ReferencesGet in touch with Monica Tanner and grab her book here:📖 Buy “Bad Marriage Advice” Here: https://www.badmarriageadvice.com/get-the-book🛒 Buy “Bad Marriage Advice” on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Marriage-Advice-Debunking-Miserable/dp/B0FQ46HG3S 🎙️ Secrets of Happily Ever After Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6KnkyQGEr20TnQsfmx7kX0?si=4eb6afb2f63a4a6b👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/monica.tanner2/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/monitalksmarriage/▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onthebrightersideofmarriage💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicatanner---------------------------------------------------------------SubscribeIf you have ever enjoyed any of these episodes, could we ask you to please consider any or all of these: Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share and leave a short Review?

S1: 35,000 Daily Decisions and Why They’re Straining Your Relationship | Yalla Habibi Podcast 28.04.2026 37minWe make around 35,000 decisions a day, and when you’re travelling as a couple, it suddenly feels like you’re negotiating every single one of them. Where to eat. What to book. Who decides. It’s rarely the big life choices that wear you down, it’s the constant drip of tiny ones that quietly build tension without you realising. From pasta stand-offs in Nicaragua to redefining who handles logistics, we unpack decision fatigue in relationships, the roles couples slip into without meaning to, and why trying to “just go with it” can slowly turn into resentment. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a story so absurdly unlikely it sounds fictional, yet it shows how one random click can expose something that was never meant to be found. While in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we explore research suggesting your happiness boost might actually begin long before you even pack your suitcase.

S1: Why Travel Arguments Escalate Fast & What It Reveals About Your Relationship | Yalla Habibi Podcast 21.04.2026 50minHave you ever argued somewhere that’s supposed to be “the trip of a lifetime” and thought… why is this happening here of all places? In this episode, we unpack couples conflict while travelling, the little frictions that feel bigger when you’re tired, overstimulated, and living out of a suitcase. From navigating work calls and workout routines in the same room, to the cost vs comfort debate that quietly tests your values, to a joke that lands wrong and lingers longer than it should, we share the moments that forced us to look at how we both handle tension very differently. We talk travel triggers, resentment, repair, and whether disagreements on the road reveal cracks or build connection. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we explore a viral hiking phrase that proves arguments in extreme environments can escalate fast, and in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share research that might make you rethink how you and your partner make decisions on your next trip.

S1: The Dark Side of Full Time Travel, When Freedom Doesn’t Feel Like Freedom | Yalla Habibi Podcast 14.04.2026 37minWe’re trying something new. This is the first of our 4-part series where we go deeper into topics we’re genuinely curious about, starting with travel and relationships. It’s still us, same stories, same humour, just a slightly more focused lens for better conversations, more engagement, and something that lasts. It also feels like the right time to say what this podcast really is, Yalla Habibi is about exploring freedom in a modern relationship through honest stories, chasing adventure, questioning expectations, and figuring out what actually feels right as we go.We’re living a life most couples dream about, travelling the world together and chasing complete freedom, so why are there moments where it just feels… normal? In this episode we break down the gap between expectation and reality, from the belief that travel should feel incredible every day to the truth that it can feel flat, frustrating, and even put pressure on your relationship. We share the real moments behind the highlight reel, from unexpected danger and last-minute country changes to the quiet tensions of spending every day together, and how it’s shaped us as a couple. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a finding that flips attraction on its head in the most unexpected way, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” explores why doing something slightly uncomfortable together might be the secret ingredient to a stronger relationship.Chapters(03:00) – Travelling Must Be the Dream Life for a Couple(06:28) – Travelling Is Too Difficult for Us to Plan and Navigate(14:25) – It Could Mess Up Our Relationship(17:55) – I Am Envious of the Amount of Countries Other Couples Have Visited(21:00) – We Won’t Have Enough Time for Intimacy(25:40) – One of Us Might Want to Stop or Slow Down(31:01) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: Why Statistically Planning a Trip Is the Ultimate Turn-On(34:02) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: Why Travel Makes Relationships StrongerScott's WTF of the Week😏 Why Statistically Planning a Trip Is the Ultimate Turn-On🔗 https://news.booking.com/bookingcom-reveals-that-men-booking-a-trip-is-sexier-than-foreplayShelby’s Good Vibes Only💘Why Travel Makes Relationships Stronger🔗 https://enroute.travelink.com/travel-together-as-a-couple---------------------------------------------------------------SubscribeIf you have ever enjoyed any of these episodes, could we ask you to please consider any or all of these: Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share and leave a short Review?

PET HATES: "I'm basically vegan too, I just eat meat sometimes" lecture 03.03.2026 34minPet Hates Part 2 is here because apparently we are not done being irritated by humanity. Scott goes in on shopkeepers who latch onto you the second you walk in, people who shout “HELLO?” like you’ve been missing for weeks, and the brave souls who think they know better than Google Maps… while also blasting the voice directions like it’s a podcast no one asked for. Shelby shares the things that quietly drain her soul too, from chronic whisperers and “90% vegetarians” who want a medal, to being woken up in the middle of the night for information that absolutely could have waited. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we head to Gympie where residents are facing an invasion straight out of a horror film, and in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we spotlight women in York who are pushing back against the odds and quietly reshaping the future of business.Chapters(02:33) – No More Clingy Shop Assistants(09:20) – STOP Whispering, I CAN’T Hear You(11:50) – Stop Waking Me Up in the Middle of the Night to Tell Me Stuff(14:00) – We Know You’re Home!(16:45) – When People Say They Are 90% Vegetarian(22:19) – Google Maps Works, I Don't Need Your Directions(22:35) – People Who Use Google Maps With the Voice Direction On (24:55) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: ‘Flying Foxes’ Plague Australian City(28:10) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: Breaking Barriers for Female Entrepreneurs in YorkScott's WTF of the Week🦇 ‘Flying Foxes’ Plague Australian City🔗 https://news.sky.com/video/flying-foxes-otherwise-knows-as-fruit-bats-plague-australian-city-13491420Shelby’s Good Vibes Only💡 Breaking Barriers for Female Entrepreneurs in York🔗 https://www.positive.news/society/the-new-research-that-will-help-female-entrepreneurs-in-yorkshire-to-fly/Recommended EpisodesCheck out these other episodes, they dive into similar stories and topics.🎧EP50 | Why Shelby Hates Her Birthday, Smart Chimps & The Toaster Revolution | Yalla Habibi Podcast🎧 EP57 | Culinary Groundhog Day, Beach Brawl & Blow Up Dolls | Yalla Habibi Podcast---------------------------------------------------------------SubscribeIf you have ever enjoyed any of these episodes, could we ask you to please consider any or all of these: Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share and leave a short Review?
