We both cover theme parks and travel through our channels, with a whole lot of influence of our lives in being fathers. This podcast has been designed to discuss all of that.

I'm a solo traveler who's been to the parks many times and I want to share my experiences with other solo travelers. It's a different experience to visit the Disney parks by yourself, but it's just as much - if not more - fun. Traveling solo can be uncomfortable, so let's talk about how to get the most out of your time in the most magical place on Earth!
