Take a Wander with Shebs
Take a Wander with Shebs showcases some of the top personalities in the tourism industry.
What distinguishes this podcast from other travel podcasts? Each episode tries to take my guests on a journey to uncover matters they may not have discussed on their platform or in the media. The show's subjects for discussion will cover more than simply travel locations, favourite places or foods, and how to travel efficiently.
I go deeper into why and what an individual may have learnt from a trip or what influence an event or occasion had on their lives whilst travelling. There are no topics that are off-limits. The podcast's goal is to keep listeners guessing and to motivate them to travel, learn, and be better individuals overall.
Get ready to be inspired and Take a Wander with Shebs!

Travelling During Ramadan | Tharik Hussain
In this episode, I spoke with award-winning author and journalist, Tharik Hussain. We discussed how Tharik journeyed to discover Muslim Europe, why he decided to write his book, Minarets in the Mountains, and what significance the book would have for the Muslim community and society.
We both discussed our Bangladeshi roots and went into detail about what it was like to grow up in the U.K. and travel to Bangladesh for the first time. What impact did it have on Tharik?
We discuss what the World Cup in Qatar in 2022 has done for the Arab Muslim world regarding tourism. Did it get fair coverage? Was the criticism justified?
We discuss Ramadan's importance, what it's like to travel during the holy month and the significance for a travel professional to fast during the month and work.
Tharik also discussed what's on the agenda next for him.
