World Journeys Podcast Episode 7 - World Cup Preview

This week the World Journeys Podcast is heading to the World Cup in Brazil! Well, sort of! We have a good old chinwag with Michael Woolhouse who is heading to the World Cup to support the mighty Socceroos (Australia's football team).

I met Michael in Japan, to discover he lived around the corner from me in Melbourne! So firstly we talk a little about being home in Australia after two years in Japan, and then we chat in depth about Michael's plans for Brazil, what games he'll go to, where he'll stay and visit, and how he and his mates planned out the trip of a lifetime to see football's ultimate competition. And of course - he takes the World Journeys' Capital City Challenge. How will he do?

World Journeys Podcast Episode Six - with Andrew Higgins

Recorded in Ueno Park, Ueno, Tokyo, the sixth episode of the World Journeys Podcast includes not one but TWO Andrews! Fighting off crows and temple gongs, this podcast is a great listen.
Andrew Higgins talks to me (Andrew Boland) about his two years thus far in Japan. Andrew loves Akihabara, he's even visited a Maid Cafe - so find out what that was like! Andrew also talks about an 'ugly' foreigner, you know the kind of person - giving foreigners a bad name wherever he goes!
Andrew chats a little about elementary school teaching as well, shares a number of great stories and we do have a great laugh! So, don't hesitate, take a listen!

Next Friday sees the final episode in the first bracket of seven episodes for the podcast. I chat to Michael Woolhouse about being home in Australia after 2 years in Japan, but the main focus of the podcast is Brazil 2014 - Michael is heading there to support the Australian football (soccer) side the 'Socceroos' in the World Cup in just over two weeks. That's NEXT Friday on the World Journeys Podcast - May the journey never end!

World Journeys Podcast Episode Five with Kamillah Harris

It is with great pleasure that I present this week’s podcast. It’s been slow to start but I feel this and next week’s episodes are the best so far. Today’s podcast features Kamillah Harris. I recorded it two weeks back on a beautiful sunny day in Yoyogi Park, Harajuku, Tokyo. Kamillah is from Jamaica and we chat about life in Japan and teaching in Japan, but we also talk a bit about Jamaica too, the beaches, the highlights of this wonderful island where Kamillah hails from.

This was probably the most fun I have had doing the podcast – Kamillah has a great sense of humour (and a great laugh), AND she is the first person to take up the ‘Capital City Challenge’. What’s that? Well, you’ll have to listen all the way to the end to find out. Please do take a listen to the podcast, and don’t forget that you can subscribe on Itunes here –

World Journeys Podcast Episode Four

In episode four I interview two people. Firstly I chat with James Patrus, who has been in Japan a year, about first impressions of Japan, teaching, students and driving.

Then I catch up with Miho Terui and we talk about Australia and her experiences there, and also we chat about Japanese food. May the journey never end!

World Journeys Podcast Episode 3 with Maxime Savard

 Join the podcast today with special guest Maxime Savard. Maxime has been living in Japan for over eight years now, and was living on the Tohoku coast on the 11^th of March, 2011 when the Great Tohoku Earthquake hit. In the podcast we talk about his experiences after the earthquake and what it was like on Japan’s scariest day more than three years ago now.
