    EP:14 | The Day I Almost Sank A Yacht
    Apr 13 2020

    Welcome to Season 2 aka Episode 14. There will be plenty more interviews with travel influencers as well as stories from the road. In this episode I go way back to my early advetnures to recount the time I almost sank a yacht in the Florida Keys. If you've known me for a while, maybe you've heard this one before. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't. I also tried adding some SFX for this story so let me know if you liked them or thought they were a distraction. Enjoy!

    EP: 10 - How I Crashed My Motorbike 4 Times In One Day
    Apr 3 2019
    Welcome to episode 10!  In this episode I go deep into the story of my biggest Asia Day.  An Asia Day for those who are not yet in the know, is a day where Asia wins.  Asia is full of strange customs and cultures that as a westerner we are not accustomed to.  This can lead to frustration and difficulty, but often there is no way of getting around it.  Ultimately you have to admit Asia wins today and look forward to a better tomorrow.  In this case, I was crossing the border between Laos and Vietnam, and took a literal beating as I navigated my motorbike through the Annamite mountain range.       Questions:   If you could do me a huge favor.  A lot of you have told me how much you enjoy the podcast, but if you could leave a review on iTunes or wherever you found this, it would mean the world.   Also.   Check out TravelFinn.com and let me know what you think.  Also be sure to follow along in the growth of the site by following TravelFinn on Facebook at  https://www.facebook.com/TravelFinnPage.   The Host: James Finn   To Learn More About What The Host Is Up To:   Blog: http://Jamesfinn.me Youtube: http://youtube.com/c/jamesfinn Instagram: @heyjamesfinn Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/TravelFinnPage
