You don't see travellers writing in travel journals (or postcards!) too often these days; they've likely been replaced with a smug Instagram post or a braggy Facebook status. But this week, we dig up a first time traveller's travel journal from the 2000s and we’re rewarded with some nostalgic throwbacks.

Plus, Charlie opens up her journal once again for another travel romance!

Any avid traveller can tell you about a time that their bodily functions got in the way of a good time (aka “Bali belly” or “Delhi belly”). No one is safe, not even at the Anzac dawn service in Turkey. We also travel to Japan where a simple night out takes a turn for the worse. If you’re squeamish about poo or vomit, this is your fair warning to skip to the next ep.
