If you live in Australia ๐ฆ๐บ, chances are that your last trip is a very distant memory ๐. For some of us, it feels like a piece of our soul is missing and that our daily grind is pointless now that we can't look forward to this escapism ๐ Well, you're in luck because Tom's story is going to take you on an audio journey โ๏ธ all the way to Iceland and beyond - whilst sharing great musical and film references.
๐ง Listen to this episode to find out what travel had brought to Tom's life, how it has helped him find the answers that he had been seeking for so long but also find himself and discovered his true meaning ๐งญ You will get to hear why Iceland has become such a special place for Tom, where he has returned many times over ๐
Tom is a warm and generous person with endless fascinating stories. He is a music lover, sports fan, travel aficionado, entrepreneur and proud queer man who sometimes struggled with his sense of belonging. Travel has been a way for him to explore and find a place where he might finally feel like he belongs.
๐ณ๏ธโ๐ Tom is the first queer Aussie man to come on the podcast and we couldn't be more excited to continue going beyond the small talk with underrepresented communities ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐๐ผ
๐บ Here is the link to the amazing Hannah Gatsbyโs Netflix Special that Tom mentions during the episode: https://www.netflix.com/title/80233611?s=i&trkid=13747225
I watched it after this recording and highly recommend it to anyone - whether your are straight, queer, a man or a women!

ASKING FOR A MATE is the feel-good podcast that asks guys to go beyond the small talk.
โOur mission is to break down stereotypes of Aussie masculinity and improve the mental health of men by letting guys know that it's ok to let your guard down and have frank and honest conversations.
โEach episode, Cรฉcile gets the chance to ask Aussie guys whatโs really going on beneath their thick skin and ask the questions they may have been avoiding, in the hope that it will encourage more meaningful relationships between friends and those around us.
