I'd love to know more about the Man City guest house, is it usual in Tanzania to name lodgings after English football teams or was it a one-off? Was there a framed photo of Guardiola somewhere?

Football is incredibly popular across sub-Saharan Africa (particularly the Premier League), so it's actually more than just hotels that are named after teams and players. I met a couple of Ronaldos and Messis while out there!

It’s almost as if you knew that one day you’d be asked a very specific hypothetical question about traveling with a silly hat...

Is it a time-travelling propellor hat? All I'm at liberty to say is that it's very special.

It's an absolutely fantastic answer, isn't it?

Way to rock that beanie! And that hotel in Tanzania would probably still somehow manage five stars on Airbnb.

I once arrived at an AirBnB to an overwhelming smell of gas - contacted the owner and they were like "oh yeah that happens"

You're not supposed to fart on arrival, Tom. At least give it a few minutes before you start stinking the place out.

I'm getting so excited to see what ... quirks our place in Valencia is going to have? Gas? A bar underneath? A bar inside?

Haha I feel 50% of being a digital nomad is being annoyed at Airbnb listings
