Wanderlust Swingers: the couple combining travel and lifestyle

Wanderlust Swingers is the project of Cate and Darrell, a couple who introduce themselves as "the Aussie podcast duo with a wicked sense of humor" (wanderlustswingers.com, accessed November 6, 2026). Since 2015 they have combined a podcast, a blog, destination guides and events for the lifestyle community. Their defining trait is travel: much of their content is about living the lifestyle away from home. This article reviews their work based only on what they have published themselves.

Who they are

Cate and Darrell go by their first names and say on their website that they have been practicing consensual non-monogamy for more than ten years. They share a few interests: Cate enjoys travel, hosting and attending events, and wine; Darrell is an engineer and hobby pilot (wanderlustswingers.com). BarSwinger uses only those public details. We don't look for or publish any other personal information.

The project used to be called Swinging Downunder Podcast and was renamed to reflect its travel focus (wanderlustswingers.com).

What kind of content they create

• Podcast. According to their website it started in 2015 and has more than 200 hours of episodes (wanderlustswingers.com). In November 2026 it is still active, with recent episodes on Apple Podcasts.
• Destination guides and reviews. Guides to places such as Florida, Las Vegas, Cap d'Agde and London, plus club reviews (wanderlustswingers.com).
• Blog. More than 40 lifestyle articles, including travel tips.
• Video. Their website links to a YouTube channel called "Shameless Non-Monogamy".
• Social media. They are active on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X.

Recent podcast topics include travel experiences, such as a first visit to Cap d'Agde, and sexual health: one episode explains what being "recently tested" for STIs really means (Apple Podcasts). A creator couple dedicating an episode to prevention is a good sign of responsibility.

Their message about the lifestyle

Wanderlust Swingers' message comes down to three ideas:

1. You can live the lifestyle while traveling. Their guides help plan trips with practical information for each destination.
2. Humor and ease. They talk about it without drama and with humor, which lowers the anxiety of newcomers.
3. Practical information. From sexual health to how events work, they want their audience to arrive prepared.

It connects with our destination guides such as Cap d'Agde for couples and our safety and privacy guide.

Community and events

Their website says they have hosted more than 20 lifestyle events in several countries, including hotel, mansion and cruise takeovers (events page, accessed November 6, 2026). They also have a newsletter and a Patreon page for supporters (wanderlustswingers.com).

We don't publish audience figures or event details they haven't made public.

Why it matters

For the lifestyle traveler, Wanderlust Swingers is a first-hand source: a couple who travel, try destinations and report back. Their experience, more than a decade of podcasting, and their focus on health and planning make them a useful resource.
