Alun's seen Orangutans in Borneo but how? We dive inside Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and ask whether it's an ethical sanctuary or a zoo-like tourist attraction.

Alun’s final moments in Cebu, Philippines, were action-packed and fraught with danger. He narrowly escaped the island amid the devastation caused by Typhoon Tino. Our hearts go out to everyone affected, and we wish the people of the Philippines a safe and speedy recovery.

Tales of a Trip returns with a Central Asian adventure! No engine? No problem! Expect large amounts of vodka and some traditional Mongolian hospitality.
