Lesson 16: Taking That Epic Road Trip: From Tokyo to Capetown with Chuck Berry and Phil Woodland
When Chuck Berry was a little boy, he had a dream to drive an ice cream truck across the world, with particular focus on mint chocolate chip. As he got older, this dream just wouldn’t die, but he was not quite sure how realistic it actually would be in its proper execution. Ice cream truck or Toyota Hilux? Which was really the better option when planning a trip across the world? After moving to Tokyo, he met a guy called Phil and shared with said Phil this dream…would it really happen? Well, you’re just going to have to listen and find out. I promise you’ll be entertained, with a little Japanese karaoke thrown in as a bonus. Tune in for tales from an epic six months on the road and what it takes to get it done, along with the twists and turns along the way, brought to you directly from a Japanese karaoke booth. P.S. Sammi, it wouldn’t have happened without you.
What we cover in this episode:
- Why Chuck and Phil decided they wanted to go on this epic road trip
- How to get cars across oceans along with getting car insurance when you cross borders
- Chuck and Phil’s favorite places as they traveled from Tokyo to Capetown
- Why it’s not really so difficult to take a long road trip if you really want to
- Why you should really try Couchsurfing
