Bantering across Borders
Azerbaijan – It’s More Modern Than You Think
In this episode of Bantering Across Borders, Sarah and Tony—British expats and best friends—take you on a three-day journey through the stunning and surprising country of Azerbaijan.
From staying overnight with locals in Xinaliq, one of the highest and most remote villages in the Caucasus Mountains, to exploring the ultra-modern skyline and unexpected gems of Baku, this episode is full of laughs, cultural insights, and memorable travel moments.
Find out why Tony unexpectedly fell in love with a carpet museum, why Sarah ended up in a heated dinner table debate, and what it's really like to travel as part of a group tour for the first time. As always, their signature banter brings a mix of storytelling, personal reflection, and friendship-fuelled travel inspiration.
