DISARM DOORS ON THE RADIO: Talking About Vanuatu

Disarm Doors has had the great fortune to be picked (dobbed in, really...thanks, Kim Wildman) up by ABC North Coast NSW (Australia) as a regular contributor to its weekly "Planes, Passports & Postcards" radio segment with Jo Shoebridge.

I'm really enjoying the audio journeys we're going on. They've brought back a mountain of memories recent and ancient that we scale in bite-sized ascents.

In this episode we take off for Vanuatu, a place I visited a couple of times as a child and had the great pleasure of exploring again recently. If you've got 10 minutes spare, take a listen to the audio HERE, or if you're more of a visual person, just enjoy the pics below.



And if you're looking for an authentic Pacific destination with a most unexpected history, surprising local customs, stunning natural highlights and quirks aplenty then you should, well, you should visit and see for yourself.

What are you waiting for?

Boom! Mount Yasur - One of the world's most active volcanoes.

Happy travels, Ben.
