Ayyyy welcome back to your fave travel podcast. Thanks for tuning in and getting yourself ready to make some MOVES with me. Let's get it! In the Season 5 premier, I am joined by Tristan aka Tristan's Expeditions from Atlanta, Georgia. Tristan has been traveling the world for much of his life and has already traveled to over 100 countries! Today, we focus on Lebanon—a destination often misunderstood, but overflowing with depth, beauty, and cultural richness. We dive into Lebanon’s incredible wine region, where ancient traditions meet modern winemaking in dramatic mountain landscapes. We explore its layered history, from Phoenician roots to Roman influences, and uncover archaeological sites that bring the past vividly to life. Along the way, we highlight the country’s world-class cuisine—vibrant, fresh, and deeply tied to its land and heritage. This conversation reveals a side of Lebanon far beyond headlines: a place of resilience, generosity, and extraordinary cultural wealth that deserves to be experienced, not overlooked.
