    AN AMERICAN IN VIETNAM WITH STEVE FROM THINKING SIDEWAYS

    Welcome to the Travelman Podcast, my name is Ben and I host this cool little travel podcast. On today’s episode, I’ll be talking to Steve who’s 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’s 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’m interested in Steve’s journey to Vietnam and that’s 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….

    Welcome to the Travelman Podcast, my name is Ben and I’ll be your travel buddy, I hope you’re doing fine and have a trip on the horizon, if you’re 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’s 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’re 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’s no mean feat! So, sit back and hear Joel’s reasoning and logic behind leaving the great state of Hawaii till last and how he managed to conquer all 50 states of America. There’s a language warning on this episode also as Joel has a bit of a potty mouth and I didn’t 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’s time!   Timestamps Part 1: Intro to the show 3:42 – Best three states in the USA 6:45 – One great thing in three states 12:56 – Best food, New Orleans, Louisiana and Halloween 19:11 – What state has the best beer?

    12 MORE REASONS TO TRAVEL TO AUSTRALIA

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 9, 2019 68:32


    Welcome to the Travelman Podcast, I’m your host Ben thank you for coming aboard again and if you’re new to the podcast plane and you’re joining me for the first time, well then hello and thank you for listening. You’ll be in seat 57A for your imaginary flight today. On today’s podcast, I was live on YouTube with Chris Raney my San Diegan mate from Yellow Productions. We did this livestream around two weeks ago on 12 more reasons to travel to Australia. This is our second live stream on our Australia series. So, sit back and enjoy our conversation on Australia.   Timestamps: Intro to the show 2:30 – Reason 1, Sydney Harbour – Sydney Harbour is a great place to visit. Visit the Sydney Opera House, I love it, it’s close to the Rocks and Circular Quay and there’s an amazing view of the Sydney Harbour, and the Bridge. Also, spend some time in the botanical garden nearby. I spent a year there as a Sydneysider. I was a teenager back then but oh how much fun it was. Sydney is the prettiest city in Australia. 5:18 – Reason 2, Reasonably Price – Australia isn’t too expensive. But, housing… just kidding. 18:10 – Reason 3, Botanical Gardens! – The botanical gardens in Australia are beautiful. They’re close to the city and made for people to enjoy and walk around in it to get out of the city rush. It’s great to get out into nature. 25:33 – Reason 4, Great Barrier Reef – One of the seven natural wonders of the world, 30:30 – Reason 5, Australian Food – We have diverse food in Australia, but what’s really Australian food, meat pies? Shrimp on the Barbi? Nope, probably not. 37:22 – Reason 6, Beer – We have all types of beers brewed here in the land of Oz. From commercially brewed beers brewed for the masses or the best craft beer in the world. You need great water for that and Australia has great water! 41:04: – Reason 7, Wineries – Australia has some of the best wineries in the world, from the Yarra Valley to the Clare Valley to Margaret River. Australia produces wine in every state and territory bar the Northern Territory. 47:36 – Reason 8, Coffee – I enjoy coffee so much. Melbourne is well known for its coffee. You’ll find it very hard to find a bad coffee here. You can get good coffee in most of Australia, but the best is in Melbourne and maybe Sydney. 48:36 – Reason 9, Great Zoos – Australia has some super Zoos to enjoy, we have a range of open range Zoos, Suburban Zoos and Zoos where crocodiles reign supreme! 55:40 – Reason 10, Tropical Forests, and even skiing! – From the far northern reaches of Australia there is tropical forests that adorn the land, far south you’ll find bushland that is covered in snow in the winter. In the middle, there is sand. Australia is fascinating. 57:28 – Reason 11, Close to New Zealand – Our proximity to New Zealand makes New Zealand and Australia the best of buddies. New Zealand is a great place to travel to. If you’re in Australia and you didn’t even realise that New Zealand was on our door step then book yourself a ticket and get to this wonderful place. 58:48 – Reason 12, For the Australians! – Yes, we’re a jolly bunch of blokes and Sheila’s, we’re a hospitable bunch with wide open and welcoming arms. Visit Australia. It’s waiting for you.   Important Additional Information: I hope you enjoyed the podcast. I hope to do many more live streams with Chris in the future. If the audio sounded a bit choppy it was because we were live online and to have a stable connection running through the Pacific Ocean is pretty tough. Also, if you haven’t visited the new website yet it’s live and at travelmanpodcast.com See you on the next podcast.   Additional Information on Chris Raney and Yellow Productions: Yellow Productions Travel Guides website: http://yelloww.net/ Yellow Productions Travel Guides YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/yellowwproductions Yellow Productions Twitter: https://twitter.com/chrisraney Yellow Productions Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YellowProductionsTravel   Follow Travelman Podcast: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/travelman-podcast/id1281446908 Libsyn: https://travelmanpodcast.libsyn.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/benthetravelman/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travelmanpodcast/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/TravelmanPod Tune In: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Travel/Travelman-Podcast-p1103948/ Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/ben-dow/travelman-podcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3cYw4pCrK3C-Rty3zmw-eQ Travelman Podcast Website: www.travelmanpodcast.com

    8 BEST RESORT & HOTEL POOLS

    Welcome to the Travelman Podcast, today, I thought because I’ve just recently booked eight nights at Courtyard by Marriott Bali Seminyak Resort, for an upcoming family holiday in May, I thought what a great idea to do a podcast episode on the eight best resort and hotel pools that I’ve ever swum at. I reckon that Courtyard by Marriott will sneak in to my top eight one day.     I’ve broken these pools into three categories: 1st category: Pool Characteristics, how large or small the pool is, what’s the shape, how it does it look? 2nd category: Best Assets, meaning what’s the best thing about the pool. What makes it unique and so forth. 3rd category: Downfall, either the pool is perfect or it can work on a few things that may have made it a better experience for me. So, beginning with number eight and making our way to number one. This is the eighth best resort/hotel pool that I’ve ever swum at. There are pools that I haven’t listed here, either because I forgot about them or they weren’t that special! And there’s two I’ve got video of on my YouTube channel, Travelman Podcast.   Timestamps:  Intro to the show 5:35 - 8. Scirocco Apartments 9:35 - 7. First Bungalow Beach Resort 12:10 - 6.
