Aloha and welcome to the travellers ukulele gig guide podcast. My formula is simple, I talk to people about travel and ukulele in a dynamic yarn about how the happiest little instrument in the world is changing lives one note at a time. Music, mateship and a little mayhem are woven in to tales of adventure and connection as uke playing locals share thier experiences and recommendations for visiting tourists. If you're a ukulele playing grey nomad then this is the inspirational podcast you've been looking for. It's a guide, map and people connector all in one delicious 30 minute episode.
