Episode 34 - Dan Brooks... The Canadian Adventure!
Dan Brooks was a criminal solicitor in Swansea and a (half) decent player for Mumbles RFC. But, in 2024, he packed both in, filled a suitcase with clothes and other bits, and set off to Canada to fulfil an ambition of experiencing a different lifestyle.
Landing in Canada he had no plan, no accommodation and no job - so it was clear he needed to get a few things sorted... and quickly!
During the 12 months that have followed he has flipped eggs for hungry fast food diners, captured and castrated young bulls, and undertaken a baby-sitting role with difference!
In this episode, Dan (the voice of our podcast intro) chatted to Jack and Ant about the highs and lows of life across the Atlantic - and he offered a little advice to anyone brave enough to up sticks and do something similar!
