Hey there, welcome to Travel with Tony! I'm Tony, your host, and I've been bitten hard by the travel bug. In the past decade, I've explored over 40 countries, from cruising through the icy waters of Antarctica to playing trumpet with a band in Japan and New Zealand. I've hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc in Europe, I studied Spanish in Argentina, and I even tracked lions on safari in Kenya. For me, travel isn’t just a vacation — it’s about diving headfirst into different cultures, exploring breathtaking landscapes, and building stories that last a lifetime.
