We spent a month in Canada and had a very different experience than what we're used to.  So, for this podcast, we'll tell you what we did in Canada, and try to figure out how to do this video shooting thing again :D

Tokyo Tales: Back from Canada

We had a good question from a user who wants to know how to stay playful as an adult, especially since everyone around them is getting so serious as they get older.  What's our secret?  We'll talk about it for this week's podcast!

Tokyo Tales: Staying Playful

If everything's going well, but you're not feeling alright, is there something wrong with you, or could there be something else at play?  Especially if you're in Chronic Pain, how does that affect how you perceive the world?

Tokyo Tales: Check in On Yourself

We followed some gorgeous sunsets, and ended up in a whole new area we've never encountered, and had some dope experiences.

Tokyo Tales: Chasing Sunsets

We don't know the answer to this question, but we're pretty sure we had an issue with workaholism back in Korea.  Are we still workaholics now?  That's what we're unsure about.

Tokyo Tales: What Is Workaholism?

We'll be talking about our trip to Malmö Sweden, why we were there, and what we did for this week's podcast!

Tokyo Tales: What We Did in Sweden

We've been married for 12 years.  12 years!  To celebrate, we went to Guam, and we've got some stories to tell about people swimming in full clothing, and threatening a man with a knife.

Tokyo Tales: Our 12 Year Wedding Anniversary!

For this week's podcast we're talking extensively about RuPaul's Drag Race, season 11, and why it's important to Martina.  It really is.  Spoilers about this episode, so be warned!

Tokyo Tales: Behaving Oddly

Things are going to have to change over the next month, it seems.  Martina's hand is worse than expected...

Tokyo Tales: A Rough Update

We think the idea of soul mates is giving people the wrong idea of what it takes to make a relationship work.  Happily Ever After doesn't really tell people how much work goes into a marriage.  So, we'll talk a bit about what we do, what you don't see, and our thoughts on marriage counselling in this week's episode!

Tokyo Tales: We're Not Soul Mates

We're Simon and Martina. We run a YouTube channel where we travel around Japan and the world. There are some stories we can't film.  For those, we'll share our Tokyo Tales.

We've been doing this social media thing for a long time now.  And as we grow older and see more people get into the field, we're starting to wonder what is a healthy way for us to share a message with you, in ways that won't cause more harm than good.

Tokyo Tales: Should Influencers Be More Genuine?

Episode 15 gives a convoluted answer to a simple question: where are you from?  For us, that's not an easy question to answer, and I don't know what's the right thing to say.

Tokyo Tales: Where Are You From?

Episode 14 of the Tokyo Tales podcast has us talking a bit about our time in Barcelona, and then we get into a bit of a heated discussion about tourist traps.  WTF is a tourist trap?  Help us understand better, because right now, we're not fond of the phrase...

Tokyo Tales: Barcelona and The Meaning of Tourist Traps

Today we're talking about one of our techniques for traveling with chronic pain, and Martina shares a special story about a lion.

Tokyo Tales: Amsterdam

Our neighbour surprised us by inviting us over to her house for a tea ceremony.  We enthusiastically accepted, and had a very special memory made that day.

Tokyo Tales: Tea Time with Our Grandma Neighbour

We went down to Kobe to shoot a big video, and went wandering out by ourselves, and found a connection to our past lives that we weren't expecting.

Tokyo Tales: The Korean Kobe Connection

We've been thinking about what kind of house we'd want int he future, and we got ushered to the spirit realm by a magical animal.

Tokyo Tales: House Hunting and the Spirit Realm

For this week's podcast, we saw puppies, new coffee shops, huge doggies, sunsets, and Martina got herself in an uncomfortable situation, all in one day's worth of adventuring

Tokyo Tales: New Neighbourhood

We're grieving the loss of our dog, Spudgy, but we're trying to not get too lost in grief, so we're pushing through.  Here's how.

Tokyo Tales: Lost and Found

We're back home in Tokyo, and we've learned some things about ourselves, and different ways for us to build our ladders

Tokyo Tales: Snap Out of It!

Your podcast makes me so happy! Honest to goodness it really fills me soul. You guys are the healthiest, most positive people out there and you inspire me to live a satisfying life. Thanks for sharing your Tokyo Tales (and thanks for making every episode a quality one). 🍜🍱

Thank you!
