Welcome to the Travelman Podcast, my name is Ben and I host this cool little travel podcast. On today\\u2019s episode, I\\u2019ll be talking to Steve who\\u2019s originally one of the three co-hosts of Thinking Sideways podcast.

I still remember an episode I heard featuring a grisly murder in Italy while my wife Mandy and I were driving from Miami\\u2019s South Beach all the way down to Key West, in Florida, 3.5 hours later.

I was saddened when Thinking Sideways crew had decided to finish making podcasts because it would be too difficult to keep recording episodes as Steve was making his big move to Vietnam.

I\\u2019m interested in Steve\\u2019s journey to Vietnam and that\\u2019s why I have him on the podcast today.

Just letting you know that at the time of the recording Steve and I had a bad connection, maybe it was the torrential downpour that Vietnam was having as we spoke\\u2026.

So, sit back and enjoy the conversation I had with Steve.
