Surprise!

This is a bite-sized BONUS episode of Snacks and Suitcases!

Host Sally Stanton continues her chat with Jo McGregor from The Tokyo Chapter. This time diving into Nara, Japan’s charming town filled with friendly bowing deer, ancient temples, and family-friendly adventures.

But it’s not all temples and rice crackers! Sally and Jo also unpack a topic every travelling parent can relate to…. tummy troubles on the road (yes, constipation)!
