PLANNING FOR A HOLIDAY

04/01/18 • 54 min

Today on the podcast I have my lovely wife on, we’ll be discussing our ideas and the ways we go about planning for a holiday, this includes helpful information on how we research our trips and the excitement we both have when we know a holiday is just around the corner. Sit back and enjoy our discussion on how we plan our holiday as this may come in handy for how you plan yours! From guide books to watching YouTube videos for example, Yellow Productions and the Venga brothers, I mean the Vegabrothers!

TRAVELMAN TALKS TO TRAVELDAD!

Today on the podcast I have my dear old dad on, we discuss his love for Air Canada, his enjoyment of using Airbnb whenever he travels abroad, his love for Brooklyn and his dear old friend Saddam Hussein! Oh, how he hates it when I call him my dear old dad, but I like it! So, I’ll continue calling him my dear old dad for now! So, if you want to know a critics opinion on Air Canada and some other airlines, his opinion on Airbnb (capitalism gone mad! Greedy Airbnb), his opinion on Brooklyn, New York and a war story on how he was nearly shot and killed in the Israeli Arab War of 1973 then you’ve come to the right place. I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as I enjoyed listening to my dad destroy some very large companies and reminisce on the time he was a journo behind the frontline! If this is the last time you hear from the Travelman Podcast then Sayonara!
