Episodes
Paris
After narrowly missing the train in Paris, Sue samples gourmet insects crafted by a world-class chef; gets a little tipsy on absinthe; and finds her place as a catwalk model in Paris Fashion Week before ending her time in the city with a night at the Crazy Horse Cabaret.
Strasbourg and Munich
Sue heads to Strasbourg where she embraces her inner renaissance, finds her true calling as a mermaid and bathes in a tub of beer. Her adventure then shifts gears as she takes to the road to Munich in a luxury sports car. On arrival she unleashes her creative side with some spray painting, before finishing in style as a Bavarian dancer on a Munich Pride float.
Salzburg and Vienna
The comedian becomes a yodelling YouTuber, finds her zen while practicing yoga with a herd of alpacas and studies the art of puppetry in Salzburg. At her next stop in Vienna, Sue races a hot rod and nearly passes out from the world's fattiest dumplings before facing her fear of heights.
Budapest
Sue arrives in Budapest, ready to explore the vibrant city on the banks of the Danube. Sue takes a tuk-tuk; guts fish; and rides a child-run railway. Later, she puts on her dancing shoes and scores an invite backstage at the city's hottest party. The morning after, the soothing embrace of Budapest's lush hot springs beckons.
Transylvania and Bucharest
Sue's adventure reaches Romania, where she gets spooked at Castle Dracula, shares a cup of traditional nettle tea with a celebrated folk singer, encounters Romania's bears up close and learns about specially trained earthquake dogs. Embracing the vibrant local culture, she crafts exquisite Romani jewellery and dances the night away with a lively Romani band.
Istanbul and Cappadocia
As she reaches Istanbul and the last stop of the Orient Express, Sue crosses the iconic Bosphorus Strait to discover a love for Turkish delight. Sue has her future unveiled by a world-class fortune teller. In the rocky semi-arid Cappadocia, Sue explores the world's largest underground caves before going for a breathtaking ride in a hot air balloon
