{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Friendship Tour | Friendship, Community, Encouragement, How to Make Friends","slug":"thefriendshiptourpodcast","podcastDescription":"Hi Friend! Are you trying to figure out how to make friends or keep friends as an adult? Are you longing for deeper, more meaningful connections in your local community? Would life be easier, richer or more fun if you had a village of people you could really count on?\n\nYou’re in the right place! The Friendship Tour celebrates and explores the true gift of friendship. We talk about making friends well into adulthood, keeping friends even when we have transient lifestyles and various demands on our time, and creating more meaningful connections with people who share our passions and values.\n\nI’m Cecelia - wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend. I’ve moved a lot as a military spouse, and I’ve had the pleasure of making new friends in communities around the globe. Keeping those friendships going has been an honor and a privilege.\n\nStill, I don’t get to see or talk to my friends as often as I would like. So, I started The Friendship Tour as a way to connect and reconnect with friends near and far. Somewhere along the way, though, I discovered that friendship is not only beautiful, but complicated! So, let’s explore friendship together…the ups, the downs, the joys, the frustrations, and the FUN. Why? So we can ALL enjoy the community and sisterhood we need and want.\n\nPlease grab a seat and maybe a tissue or two and join me on The Friendship Tour.\n\nAre you looking for other ways to connect?\n\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thefriendshiptourpodcast\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thefriendshiptourpodcast\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefriendshiptourpodcast\nEmail: ccurtis@thefriendshiptourpodcast.com","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/19805641/Copy_of_Cover_TheFriendshipTour_2048_x_2048_px_8uzwv.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/19805641/Copy_of_Cover_TheFriendshipTour_2048_x_2048_px_8uzwv_1200x628.jpg?s=254ed2395f3916caa994f056e89e55d2&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://thefriendshiptourpodcast.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/thefriendshiptourpodcast/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-39bqm-12e35c9","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":5,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-08:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-8,"text":"(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":34,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Cecelia Curtis","engagementStatsBaseUrl":null,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-39bqm-12e35c9-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-friendship-tour-|-make-new-friends-keep-friends-deeper-relationships-community-sisterhood/id1735453749","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fthefriendshiptourpodcast.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog19805641%26podcastIdTag%3D39bqm&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fthefriendshiptourpodcast.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7wX6aN3OEkch7Q2w5uzOac","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/32cfa11d-bc51-431c-a128-5159e80a2a6e","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/239834914","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3620908","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

Everyone who visits Japan marvels at the beautiful cherry blossoms, Mt. Fuji, and so much more. You know what's even better, though? The people.

My recent trip to Japan wasn't just any vacation. It was a series of beautiful reunions with a dear friend, three former colleagues, a mom friend, and my college roommate.
