    Matt does a great job sharing travelers stories and perspectives, while discussing important events and issues intertwined with travel. I particularly love hearing the individual stories, and how and why travel is important to him/her. Refreshing, relevant, and much-needed so we can all work together to use travel as a force for good, more so now than ever!

  • Matt's energy, infectious enthusiasm, and verve make his podcasts so much fun -- but he balances this passion with deep erudition… And a heart and soul that are wide open to exploring difficult, fascinating, uncomfortable, and flat out crazy subjects. He kind of ranges from hilarious to heartbreaking on what feels like an epic journey for listeners.
