Sometimes the ideal holiday turns into a nightmare. Mosquitos, dysentery, or even murder might be the culprit. The Welcome to Paradise (It Sucks) podcast entertains listeners with unfortunate tales. People can prepare for the worst by listening to vacations that go bad.

Listeners may gasp, grimace, and giggle at failed escapades. With any luck, most travelers won't experience anything like the stories podcast host Andrew Tate shares. Welcome to Paradise (It Sucks) has terrible yet funny tales on the podcast. Those dreaming of their next trip can heed these cautionary tales and learn what not to do.

Tate tells listeners they will hear good people tell awful sagas. A newlywed couple joins the podcast to share what happened to them in Las Vegas, Nevada. Happy and oblivious, the new husband and wife journey to the city. The trip was a generous gift. Or was it? The sordid tale that follows involves con artists, robbery, and gunpoint threats.

International travel can be luxurious and exciting. It can also be dangerous. Travelers need to learn the language, know who to trust, or have a lot of money to spend. Many young people without full wallets find this exciting and stay at hostels worldwide. Hostels are notorious havens for those looking to adventure on the cheap. Lodgers might think they should beware of fellow bunkmates. One Welcome to Paradise (It Sucks) podcast story has a different villain. Hostel guest Sadie learned to be suspicious of her host. He assured her nothing terrible had ever happened there. While he seemed to be reassuring her, he only set off internal alarms. On her last night, someone tried to break into her room. The rest of the story may leave listeners frightened and wary.

The podcast does not want to destroy anyone's wanderlust. Its cautionary tales warn vacationers that everything is not always as it seems. Tate hopes that nobody's vacation “sucks” as much as those described in each episode. If listeners have tales to tell, they can share their stories. Welcome to Paradise (It Sucks) promises entertainment about the worst trips ever.
