Afternoons Like This
Femi
A podcast about travel and the delightful moments of adventure on a random afternoon. Come away with me; hop on a train to Paris for a solo lunch date, escape a rainy afternoon pottering around London by taking in an exhibition, travel the world in the pages of a book, dance the night away in old Havana, make new memories in a little village under the Tuscan moonlight, ascend great heights and be treated to astounding views in the hills of Morocco... Afternoons Like This, the side piece to the blog, is an unforgettable journey, filled with a traveller's stories about rediscovering the world at your leisure.
