About this episode

Tristan shares his unexpected journey to Bangladesh and the thrill of train surfing.

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 Season 5 Episode 9, I am joined by Tristan. Born in Spain and raised in London, Tristan's passion for exploration began early thanks to a childhood filled with curiosity rather than screens. Instead of handing him a phone, his mother encouraged questions, conversations, and a deeper interest in the world around him—something that continues to shape the way he travels today. In this episode, Tristan shares how that curiosity has led him to some of the world's most misunderstood destinations, including Bangladesh. Initially, it wasn't a country he had considered visiting, but when friends suggested the trip, he couldn't shake the question: why Bangladesh? What followed was an unforgettable journey filled with surprising experiences, cultural discoveries, and a new perspective on a destination that rarely makes it onto travelers' bucket lists. AND freaking TRAIN SURFING- tune in today! To follow Tristan's moves on social media: Instagram TikTok Follow the Makin Moves with Matt Podcast on Social Media…
