CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN JAPAN

08/24/18 • 34 min

Welcome to the Travelman Podcast! I hope everyone is feeling great today and if you’re like me and you’re from Southern Hemisphere then all you probably want is to see winter done and dusted. So, join me for a very appropriate podcast as I’m bringing spring a few weeks forward and I’ll be discussing cherry blossoms in Japan with my brother Patrick. He’s a guy that knows a lot about Japan, and maybe not so much about blossoms although he always loves seeing all the flowering trees, he’s not much of a green thumb. I loved hearing his story about when Pat and his lovely wife Zoe went Go-karting around Toyko and Zoe accidentally bumped into some Korean guys!

I'm Inspired Now - Episode 1. I just spent $400 on fragrances and now I'm broke

I bring to you a new podcast. This is meant to be a bit of tongue and cheek. I am being ridiculous and silly. I came up with this idea when I was talking to one of my best mates Marco and my cousin James about different podcasts I was intending to make. I'm Inspired Now is intended to make you jealous. I am a married man with zero kids. I go to sleep when I want to. I buy stuff when I want to. I go on holidays all the time. I whinge about stuff constantly. I’m intending to release this podcast and see how it goes. If people like it then great, I’ll continue it on the Travelman Podcast network. If it gets big I’ll have to give it it’s own listing on iTunes.
