Travel Tales with Mike Siegel

Yours truly knows how hard it can be to lead a balanced life when constantly on the road performing. But unlike comedian Chris Strait, I never had to do it while raising four children!Chris Strait, a Southern California native, has been a comedian for over 25 years and has four kids. While that situation is a gold mine of comedy material, it's certainly not easy to keep the home fires burning while performing in comedy clubs, cruise ships, and military bases around the world.If that wasn't enough, Chris still finds the time to indulge in other passions, such as writing books and learning new languages. When does he sleep? Probably on planes!Hear Chris spin Tales of gigs both good and bad, and share what he's learned through it all.Check out all of our other travel podcasts from around the worldThis podcast is part of the Voyascape Network, a collection of some of the world’s best travel podcasts.

Ahoy friends! Travel Tales host Mike Siegel here, and I'm back with a recap of my latest adventures in the Far East! I was sent over the Pacific to perform comedy on a cruise ship headed from Shanghai to Taipei, so I left early to spend a few days in Shanghai, before boarding the ship. Hurricane Champi provided a few days of rough seas before we touched land for a couple days in Okinawa. From there it was on to Taipei and a flight to a dream scuba destination - Palau! Three amazing days of diving followed, living up to the hype and giving me experiences I'll never forget (including a trip to the world famous Jellyfish Lake!)Enjoy a recap of my adventures, along with one pricing and travel tips as well.

It's like a movie script.Andrew Infantino was taking a holiday to the Dominican Republic from chilly Montreal in early 2020, where he met the lovely Melody Guzman. The rest, as they say, his history.Andrew, who works remotely in digital marketing, moved down to the D.R. and eventually the two moved to Spain - first Madrid, and now, Barcelona. Along the way, they documented their many travels on their blog, Travel Your Best.As the years went by, the passport stamps and blog entries grew. Recent trips have included exotic locales like Madagascar, Indonesia, Morocco, Vietnam, and many more.The couple have plans to get married in the next year and eventually start a family. Until then, their relationship is a testament to what love, (and a remote income stream) can do!Guest links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewlovesmelody/TikTok: @andrewlovesmelodytravelyourbest.comCheck out all of our other travel podcasts from around the worldThis podcast is part of the Voyascape Network, a collection of some of the world’s best travel podcasts.

There are many ways people find their way into show business.Comedian Jeff Capri seemed to be destined for the footlights. As the son of legendary Catskills comic Dick Capri, Jeff would join his father onstage as young as ten years old.But his parents split early in Jeff's life, and while his Dad stayed in the New York area, Jeff grew up in suburban Orange County, California, about an hour from Hollywood. Splitting his time between coasts meant Jeff was no stranger to airports and travel.As fate would have it, Jeff ended up in the comedy clubs touring the country, then began traveling internationally performing for the troops. For the last few years, he's done the bulk of his performing on cruise ships.We were lucky enough to catch Jeff a day before he left for Hawaii to meet yet another ship and bring the laughs. Not a bad gig!Thanks, Jeff!Guest Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeffcapri/Website: http://www.jeffcapri.comCheck out all of our other travel podcasts from around the worldThis podcast is part of the Voyascape Network, a collection of some of the world’s best travel podcasts.

From Day One, Ian Beresford knew that borders were meant to cross.Ian hails from Berwick-Upon-Tweed, the northernmost city in England, just across the Scotland border. The Northumberland town has changed hands between England and Scotland multiple times over centuries, resulting in a hybrid culture (and accent!)As an adult, Ian consistently crossed borders for work and pleasure. He's made over 20 visits to the US, toured extensively throughout Europe, and even made it Down Under to Australia and New Zealand.Now retired and volunteering at his local dog shelter, Ian continues to travel, and recently returned from a cruise around Spain.Check out all of our other travel podcasts from around the worldThis podcast is part of the Voyascape Network, a collection of some of the world’s best travel podcasts.
