Hi, I’m India — a 21-year-old backpacker heading off around South East Asia and Oceania, and you’re coming with me 🎒🌏
Voicenotes from the Hostel Bathroom is your backpacker debrief: the honest voice notes, stories and confessions that happen somewhere between missed buses, hostel bars and questionable bathrooms. Travel is messy, chaotic and uncomfortable, but this podcast is here to laugh through every bit of it.
For anyone who wants the good moments and the messy ones, whether you’re travelling already or just dreaming about it — welcome ✨
Bonus episode-Travel burnout: let's talk about it!
A little bonus episode for you—and it's an important one.
Our mental health deserves just as much attention as our travel plans. While travelling can look incredible, that doesn't mean we don't have bad days or even tough weeks.
Travel burnout is something so many backpackers experience, and after going through it myself recently, I wanted to have an honest chat about it. In this episode, I share my own experience and a few things that have genuinely helped me along the way.
If anything in this episode resonates with you, I hope it reminds you that you're not alone.
A voicenote I hope you'll find helpful—enjoy. 💛🌍🎙️

Episode #6- Bali and beyond
Last country in Asia (for now!) and I have a LOT to voicenote. Biggest piece of advice? Leave Bali and explore the rest of Indonesia. In this episode, I (hopefully) convince you to do just that—while filling you in on all the chaotic, silly fun we’ve been getting up to.
Sixth voicenote… are you ready for the debrief? 🎙️🌏✈️
