  Ultimate USA Travel Guide: What It’s Really Like & Is It Worth It | Yalla Habibi Podcast 15.09.2026 32dk

  Here’s your ultimate guide to the USA— a country home to some of the most famous cities, iconic experiences and jaw-dropping natural wonders on Earth. From Hollywood and Las Vegas to New York, Yosemite and beyond, we look back at our travels across seven states and discuss how our relationship with America has changed from childhood visits that felt magical to seeing the country through very different eyes in our thirties. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we unpack how our first impressions of the USA have shifted over the years, while “Vegan Voyagers” puts the country’s plant-based scene to the test and “Worth The Trip” gives our honest verdict on whether America still lives up to the dream.Chapters(01:45) – Best Country Chants Debate(06:53) – Scott’s Scary (But Funny) Plane Ride Into Utah (09:12) – Our Top 3 Spots(11:04) – Jet Lag Judgements: USA(16:10) – Vegan Voyagers: USA(23:32) – Worth The Trip: USARecommended Episodes🔍 Search for: Ultimate “COUNTRY” Travel Guide, and you will find all our country review episodes.

  The Decisions That Nearly Ended Us & The Choices That Brought Us Closer | Yalla Habibi Podcast 08.09.2026 25dk

  Five years together, countless adventures, a few questionable decisions and more than enough stories to fill an episode. We go back to where it all started, from our first date and the ultimatums that nearly ended things before they began, to the experiences that have tested us, changed us and ultimately brought us closer. We reflect on the decisions that have shaped our relationship, why we’ve never cared about Valentine’s Day, how travelling changed us as a couple, and what we’d tell the two people who met five years ago if we could do it all again.

  S3 EP3: Why People Get Uncomfortable When Couples Do Things Differently | Yalla Habibi Podcast 01.09.2026 35dk

  We ask whether couples really need to agree on everything, and what happens when the way you live, socialise and set boundaries doesn’t fit what everyone else expects. Drawing on our own experience of going against five social norms, we share practical lessons on supporting each other, dealing with FOMO, recognising each other’s triggers and standing firm when people test our boundaries. We also explore why challenging the status quo can make people uncomfortable, and whether making a relationship work is less about agreeing on everything and more about building a life that works for the two people actually living it.In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we uncover the bizarre phenomenon of “pluralistic ignorance” and why we sometimes do things simply because we think everyone else wants to, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” reveals a surprisingly reassuring reason you might be more comfortable saying no than you think.Chapters(05:23) – How We Challenge 5 Social Norms as a Couple(19:38) – What Can Other Couples Take From This Series?(25:06) – Would We Do It Again? (25:51) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: Are We All Just Pretending “Pluralistic Ignorance”(31:45) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: Why Saying No Just Got EasierRecommended EpisodesLook for titles starting with S1 or S2 to find other series across all podcast platforms. 📺 Series 2: Finding The One When You're Not Everyone's Type🎧 ⁠⁠EP1⁠⁠🎧⁠⁠ EP2⁠⁠🎧 ⁠⁠EP3⁠⁠🎧 ⁠⁠EP4⁠⁠📺 Series 1: Travelling as a Couple: Dream vs Reality🎧⁠⁠ ⁠⁠EP1⁠⁠🎧⁠ ⁠⁠EP2⁠⁠⁠🎧 ⁠⁠⁠EP3⁠⁠⁠🎧 ⁠⁠⁠EP4⁠⁠⁠Stories SharedScott's WTF of the Week: 🤯 Are We All Just Pretending “Pluralistic Ignorance”🔗Additional ReferenceShelby’s Good Vibes Only: 🚫 Why Saying No Just Got Easier🔗⁠Additional Reference⁠---------------------------------------------------------------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?

  S3 EP2: Why Being Normal Was Holding Us Back & The Cost of Rejecting Society | Yalla Habibi Podcast 25.08.2026 33dk

  We question what it really means to be “normal” and why going against social norms can be so difficult, from being judged for changing to feeling like the odd one out when your choices no longer fit other people’s expectations. We share how stepping away from certain pressures has given us more freedom, healthier boundaries, greater financial stability and less guilt about saying no, and why sometimes disappointing people is part of building a life that actually feels right for you. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we hear about a man who took rejecting society to an extreme, with consequences far beyond simply becoming a bit of a recluse, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” celebrates a legendary artist who refused to change herself just to fit society’s idea of who she should be.Chapters(03:20) – What Makes Going Against Social Norms So Difficult?(16:30) – What Has Going Against Social Norms Given Us?(21:53) – Here’s What We Think(23:00) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: 27 Years Alone in the Woods(28:28) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: The Woman Who Refused to ConformRecommended EpisodesLook for titles starting with S1 or S2 to find other series across all podcast platforms. 📺 Series 2: Finding The One When You're Not Everyone's Type🎧 ⁠EP1⁠🎧⁠ EP2⁠🎧 ⁠EP3⁠🎧 ⁠EP4⁠📺 Series 1: Travelling as a Couple: Dream vs Reality🎧⁠⁠ ⁠EP1⁠🎧⁠ ⁠EP2⁠⁠🎧 ⁠⁠EP3⁠⁠🎧 ⁠⁠EP4⁠⁠Stories SharedScott's WTF of the Week🌲 27 Years Alone in the WoodsShelby’s Good Vibes Only🙅‍♀️ The Woman Who Refused to Conform---------------------------------------------------------------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?

  S3 EP1: 5 Social Rules We Refuse to Follow & Why We Choose Freedom Instead | Yalla Habibi Podcast 18.08.2026 46dk

  In Series 3, The Social Rules We Stopped Following as a Couple, we’re questioning the unwritten rules that quietly shape how we live, from what we’re expected to do for friends and family to how we’re “supposed” to behave in social situations. We explore what happens when you stop following the script and start making choices based on what actually feels right for you.We kick off the series by questioning five rules we never realised we were allowed to break, from going to every wedding and splitting the bill to staying until the end, drinking alcohol and getting up to dance. We share why we’ve chosen to do things differently, even when it means disappointing people, facing judgement or making things awkward, and ask whether a little friction now is worth a lifetime of feeling more free and more like yourself. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we look at a couple whose relationship rules sparked a huge debate over where healthy boundaries end and control begins, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” introduces a married couple who have spent 15 years breaking one of the biggest expectations of marriage, and somehow made it work.Chapters(04:04) – You Have to Go to Every Wedding(14:13) – We Always Split the Bill(19:40) – Stay Until the End or You’re Old(24:02) – Drink Alcohol or You’re Boring(30:23) – Get Up and Dance Mr Miserable(35:48) – What Do We Actually Think About All This?(36:39) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: Couple Go Viral Over Strict Boundaries(40:56) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: Couple Shock Relationship Experts for 15 Year RunningRecommended EpisodesLook for titles starting with S1 or S2 to find other series across all podcast platforms. 📺 Series 2: Finding The One When You're Not Everyone's Type🎧 EP1🎧 EP2🎧 EP3🎧 EP4📺 Series 1: Travelling as a Couple: Dream vs Reality🎧⁠⁠ EP1🎧⁠ EP2⁠🎧 ⁠EP3⁠🎧 ⁠EP4⁠Stories SharedScott's WTF of the Week🚧 Couple Go Viral Over Strict BoundariesShelby’s Good Vibes Only😱 Couple Shock Relationship Experts for 15 Year Running---------------------------------------------------------------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?

  The Journey to Running 100 Miles & How It Changed Me Along the Way | Yalla Habibi Podcast 04.08.2026 39dk

  Today we celebrate the biggest achievement of Scott’s life: running 100 miles non-stop, one of the toughest physical and mental challenges a person can take on. Although the race began at Edinburgh Castle, the real story started 11 years earlier with a dream that at times felt impossible. Shelby sits down with Scott to unpack the journey from his first steps as a runner to the setbacks, self-doubt, and defining moments that led him to the finish line. We relive the highest highs, the darkest moments of race day, what crossing that finish line really felt like, and the lesson that changed the way Scott thinks about limits forever.

I saw myself drop to the floor on my knees crying... and then I just somehow caught it and just went, 'No. No. No, not today.'""When you feel as if you are coming down... you have to change something.

  Ultimate Mexico Travel Guide: What It’s Really Like & Is It Worth It | Yalla Habibi Podcast 21.07.2026 26dk

  Here’s your ultimate guide to Mexico — we spent a month exploring ancient wonders and colourful cities to tropical islands and food we still think about today. 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.

  Here’s your ultimate guide to Canada. 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 45dk

  We 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.

  S2: Do Successful Relationships Need Shared Values—or Just Mutual Respect? | Yalla Habibi Podcast 16.06.2026 34dk

  We 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 49dk

  In 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?

  Here’s your ultimate guide to Peru— home to one of the greatest wonders in the world, with ancient engineering so advanced we’re still scratching our heads today. We spent three weeks exploring Lima, Cusco, and Aguas Calientes so you can decide if Peru is right for your travel style, from city life and world-class food to mountain markets, Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we share what Peru hit us with on day one and a surprising fact that completely changed how we saw Lima, while “Vegan Voyagers” puts one of South America’s food capitals to the test.

  Ultimate Nicaragua Travel Guide: First Impressions & What No One Tells You | Yalla Habibi Podcast 19.05.2026 35dk

  Here’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?

  Ultimate Costa Rica Travel Guide: What It’s Really Like & Is It Worth It | Yalla Habibi Podcast 12.05.2026 37dk

  Here’s your ultimate guide to Costa Rica — a country powered entirely by renewables and home to a quarter of its land protected from development. 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 34dk

  We’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 37dk

  We 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 50dk

  Have 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.
