Mauritius - Land of the Dodo. At first we were a bit suspicious of Mauritius but after learnin' about the place we find it to be delicious, auspicious, and ambitious. Right!?

This lush tropical island lies a few hundred miles off the coast of Madagascar and is technically in Africa. But unlike the rest of Africa, this country is predominantly Hindu and has its own distinct mix of cultures and history.

On this episode, we get into the nitty-gritty about the infamous Dodo bird, childhood nicknames, and what makes this island nation so unique. And unlike some of the other tiny island countries we've been to, this one definitely stands out!

The Boyz are back and were going to the country of Laos! This place is kind of like an off the grid version of Thailand. The rugged one. Just get one thing right, it's pronounced Lao. So forget the S over here unless you want to look like a real numbskull.

Laos is the up and coming country in South East Asia, not heavily travelled, but pretty pretty. There's a whole lot of jungle, mountains, and even some waterfalls if you know where to look. It's also called "The Land of 1 Million Elephants" but we're pretty sure there aren't even that many elephants in the world, but maybe at one point it was.

We go deep into the jungle and figure out all of the stuff to do there. Sadly, there are a ton of bombs that were dropped in Laos during the Vietnam war, but the Lao people have resourcefully found things to use these bomb shells for all kinds of stuff which makes us wonder if what we've done to turn lemons into lemonade.

We are back in the 'Stans and to the country of Kyrgyzstan. Or KERR-GEE-Stan as we way it. I think. This place definitely wins the award for wackiest spelling of a country with the lack of vowels.

Kyrgyzstan is super remote, not heavily travelled, and very easy on the eyes. A country with a whole lotta mountains and lakes if that's your thing. For such an interesting place, we were surprised to hear how little people go there.

Some of the highlights include a walnut forest. One of the biggest in the world. An old tower that dates back to the time of the Silk Road. And the WORLD NOMAD GAMES!

These games look absolutely wild with eagle hunting, belt wrestling, bone throwing, and of course, goat-polo-basketball. Kok Boru as it's actually called but basically a horseback game where you throw a goat into a hole. Yep. Never thought that was a thing but definitely sounds awesome.
