Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people.

Join your captain, Christie Kijurina, on an audio adventure. Today, we're flying to the Philippines, an island nation made up of more than 7,000 tropical islands where powerful volcanoes, earthquakes and typhoons help shape everyday life. From colourful jeepneys and bustling basketball courts to giant whale sharks, tiny mouse-deer, karaoke parties and delicious purple ube ice cream, there's always something surprising waiting around the next corner.

So, buckle up and get ready to explore the Philippines.
