Episode Details

What happens when you take the romance of slow travel and put it on a bus with 44 seats, no shower, and a toilet that's seen things? This week we dig into the world's most absurdly long bus journeys — the Trans Acreana Transoceánica from Rio de Janeiro to Lima (6,300 km, ~100 hours, about $225), the $24,000 guided Adventures Overland expedition across continents, and Greyhound's own 80-hour American marathons. We weigh the brochure claims against first-person accounts, unpack the class inversion baked into slow travel, and ask why the ultra long-haul bus remains the unglamorous cousin of the sleeper train.
