This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go I chat with a man I met on a RyanAir flight almost 7 years ago. Jin is a talented filmmaker from South Korea who moved to LA for film school. We chat about an outrageously expensive gin and tonic in Rome, finding calm in Okinawa, the music that accompanied family road trips, vacationing with friends on the isolated island of Guam, and why NYC is infinitely better than LA.
