Don’t Visit Japan Until You Watch This (ft. BBC’s Carmen Roberts) ｜ Honest Travel Podcast (ep 3)
This month's podcast focuses on everything you need to know about visiting Japan, but were afraid to ask a travel journalist who lived in Japan for eight years!
We were honored to have Carmen Roberts, an award winning travel journalist who you may recognize from the BBC Travel Show, join us on discussing traveling in Japan. Carmen brought her years of experience living in Japan to the podcast helping first time visitors to Japan or seasons travelers who visit Japan a lot to be better prepared for their visit. She shared information on skiing, food, fun, and so much more. A true professional when it comes to travel.
