Peter gives us all an update of what his life looks like at the time of recording in December 2018 while the last episode of his podcast was released a year prior. And lastly, a trip to Cape Verde at the end.Show notes:• Being Honest With My Ex – https://www.beinghonestwithmyex.com/• Tim Tam – https://www.timtamusa.com/• Cherry Ripe – https://www.cadbury.com.au/Products/Chocolate-Bars/Cherry-Ripe-Bar.aspx• Pavlova Cake – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlova_(cake)• BHWME 76: Gaslighting My Ex – https://omny.fm/shows/being-honest-with-my-ex/76-gaslighting-my-ex• Procrastination Matrix – https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/03/procrastination-matrix.html• Single-Cam sitcoms – https://screencraft.org/2016/06/21/differences-single-camera-multi-camera-tv-pilot-scripts/• Cortex #45: Cortex Working Group – https://www.relay.fm/cortex/45• Peter's fist board game: Scuttle! – https://jellybean.games/scuttle/• SJ's show No Feeling Is Final – https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/no-feeling-is-final/• I Love You, Man – https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1155056/• Peter on Twitter – https://twitter.com/peterchayward• Peter's website – https://peterchayward.com/about• Peter's other projects – https://beard.blue/• Jellybean Games – https://jellybean.games/• Peter's Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/panwhowrites• Peter on Literotica – https://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=4248571• Our Airbnb in Cape Verde – https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/10014065• My video from Cape Verde – https://youtu.be/zMmlWLGe0H4freelensers.fmAdelahttps://www.adelabohackova.comhttps://www.instagram.com/adela.bohackovaMikehttps://www.youtube.com/c/michalsodekhttps://www.instagram.com/michal.sodek

In the opening episode of Season 2, we are joined by our first guest Juan Latapi, remote worker and travel enthusiast.

Why does one start talking to his dogs when working from a living room sofa? Juan has joined us from Chicago while on his month long business trip to give us all the answers. We conclude this episode discussing the real Mexican tacos, and, of course, our new segment The Sounds of our Lives.Show notes:• Juan's Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/jlatapi/• Serial Season 3 – https://serialpodcast.org/season-three• Bo Eun Official (The Sounds of our Lives jingle) – https://www.facebook.com/boeunofficial/• Toastmasters – https://www.toastmasters.org/about/all-about-toastmasters• Adel's new blogger muse – http://www.adelabohackova.com/blog/2019/2/8/en-my-new-blogger-muse• Mike's Metro blogpost – http://www.freelensers.fm/bonus-metro-around-the-world/freelensers.fmAdela https://www.adelabohackova.com https://www.facebook.com/adelabohackovaphoto/ https://www.instagram.com/adela.bohackovaMike https://www.youtube.com/c/michalsodek https://www.instagram.com/michal.sodek
