TYFHM gives insight on two of my favorite topics: mental health & travel!

I love anything produced by Summer Land, but ESPECIALLY when the content is focused on two of my favorite subjects: mental health & travel! From listening to just the first episode, it’s clear this show intends to dive deep into the duality of Instagram/IRL lives of expats and world travelers, but keep it funny, down to earth and easy listening. Can’t wait for more ‘sodes!
