Introductory Episode: Long Distance Lounge podcast

Travel author and global adventurer Tim Sweeney goes on virtual visits to far-flung places by interviewing guests who live and work in locations that have a spot on every traveler’s bucket list. As the title suggests, the podcast harkens back to the days when people might strike up a conversation with a passing stranger at an airport bar during a layover (as opposed to looking down at their cell phone the entire time).
Among the guests: a SCUBA guide on the Great Barrier Reef, a Tour de France journalist, a snake-loving guide in the Aussie outback, an expert on the Normandy D-Day invasions. These individuals share their stories and offer advice on how to plan a visit to their neck of the woods. But it's not JUST travel. They also explain the career track they took to find their way to their current roles or a crossroads moment that urged them to chase their passion for their profession. If you’re considering a trip, looking for inspiration for one, or just curious how people end up in the interesting jobs they do, download and subscribe to the Long Distance Lounge.
Host Tim Sweeney—the author of a “hilarious,” 5-star rated travel memoir that documents his three years living and traveling through Australia—has lived and worked on three continents, including in the French Alps. His book (Yank Down Under: A Drink and A Look Around Australia) was hailed as "info-tainment" that is “medicine for the soul.” The Long Distance Lounge podcast fits the same bill. That is: interesting tales from worldly people with fun stories to share.
