Bob Tapper: Life Abroad, a documentary travel podcast
Welcome! This is a documentary travel podcast that follows Bob's life as an American Actor, Filmmaker, and Travel Blogger. His journey (so far) includes navigating a global pandemic throughout Europe, surviving a devastating earthquake in Croatia, exploring small town beauty in the Yorkshire area of north England, and living on an island (hammock included!) in the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea. Bob made a huge change, later in his life, to explore Europe and pursue a passion from his younger years // a passion for acting, filmmaking, and travel. So his new life chapter began on January 1, 2020. What could possibly go wrong? Each month you’ll hear his stories, thoughts, and breakthrough moments along the journey so far. He’ll share bonus episodes of his interesting European experiences and life-changing insights that may be helpful to others. If you’ve ever felt like you want to make a major change in your life, but think it may be too late, or you’re too old, or there’s too much uncertainty right now - his documentary journey may appeal to you.

S5:Ep2 - Wintering in Lisbon, Portugal
FEBRUARY 2024
Welcome to my February podcast, broadcasting live from Lisbon where the weather has been delightful, marked by sunny days occasionally interrupted by refreshing rain showers. Nestled in a cozy Airbnb, conveniently situated for optimal productivity, I've found the perfect base for my creative endeavors.
Undoubtedly, the highlight of my trip has been my engagement with a local filmmaking group. Fueled by my passion to contribute both on and off-screen, I've embraced every opportunity to immerse myself in the creative process. Amidst occasional touristy exploits, such as leisurely explorations of Lisbon's charm and a memorable visit to the awe-inspiring Sanctuary of Cristo Rei in Almada, I've relished the chance to witness the city's beauty and contribute to its vibrant cultural scene.
In this episode:
- Nomadic challenges
- Filmmaking Group, making films, and Friday night drinks
- Cristo Rei (Christ the King)
- Back to the UK soon

Cristo Rei (Christ the King)
The Cristo Rei statue was built in response to a vow made by Portugal's Catholic bishops in 1940, during World War II, to construct a monument to Christ if the country remained neutral throughout the conflict. After Portugal emerged unscathed, the bishops kept their promise, and construction began in 1951.
