  • Feed your travel bug

    I enjoy the breadth of stories. Collectively they are all about the different ways of, and motivations for, venturing out and travelling - down the street or to some far-flung destination. I download the podcasts and they keep me sated when I'm not on a travel adventure of my own.

  • Great places, great guests!

    I love hearing about places all around the world, truly! From the South Pole to Maine, and beyond! Even Argentina and their guests' quest to learn and perfect the Tango. The guests are amazing, and from all walks of like. If you like geography and history, you will love this podcast. Give it a go and see for yourself.
