Daniel Semo was nervous about the journey home to Australia from Japan.

There were so many things that could go wrong… A positive covid test was just one of many potential spanners.

Like that scene at the end of Argo (spoiler alert), he made it out. But like thousands of Australians living abroad, this was not the end of his adventure.

Before he could cuddle Mum, Daniel would need to complete two weeks of hotel quarantine.

It’s a long time to live in one room and Daniel wanted to make the most of it. So he set himself a challenge to complete an audio story every day: 14 stories in 14 days.

Was this even possible?

He would be tested creatively, learn to work faster, and call on old friends to help him meet the challenge. All while battling sleep deprivation and four walls closing in fast.

Hear all of the stories from Daniel’s 14 days project.
