Duration: 38 minutes 11 seconds

Welcome to the Travelman Podcast! I\\u2019m your host Ben, and if you\\u2019re joining me for the first time then I say hello and thank you for listening, and if you\\u2019re a returning listener then I say thanks for returning!

It has been a while since I\'ve been online. It\'s now 2022 and I\'ve just edited this episode that has sat handsomely on my laptop for months, unedited. A heap has happened in my life like I bought a house and my wife is pregnant!!!! She\'s 33 and a half weeks!!! A baby is on the way!!

On today\\u2019s episode, I\\u2019ll be talking about my limited time in Cairns and disastrous time on Fitzroy Island, and the news that made me cancel my second night, get straight on the Fitzroy Flyer and return home to Melbourne via Brisbane.

Enjoy the podcast.

THE GUY THAT LEFT HAWAII TILL LAST, PART 1.

Published: July 14, 2019, 2 a.m.
Duration: 51 minutes 42 seconds

Welcome to the Travelman Podcast, my name is Ben and I\\u2019ll be your travel buddy, I hope you\\u2019re doing fine and have a trip on the horizon, if you\\u2019re new, well hello and thanks for joining me!!!

Today I have a great podcast lined up for you. It features a really cool and interesting guy I met in DTLA last year by the name of Joel. He\\u2019s a Theatre Critic for the OC Weekly.

We met while eating some delicious food at Grand Central Market, I think the place was called Prawn Coastal, he was drinking a beer, I was drinking a beer, as all Californians go they\\u2019re welcoming and nice to chat to.

We started talking about travel and he told me that he was going to Hawaii the following week and that would mean he had ticked off every state in the US of A. That\\u2019s no mean feat!

So, sit back and hear Joel\\u2019s reasoning and logic behind leaving the great state of Hawaii till last and how he managed to conquer all 50 states of America.

There\\u2019s a language warning on this episode also as Joel has a bit of a potty mouth and I didn\\u2019t want to spend hours editing out the word f*#% and whatever else may slip out of his mouth!!!!

Also, this is a two-parter. Be sure to listen to part 2 in a few week\\u2019s time!
