In this final Nicaragua episode, Laura travels to Granada the way so many locals do—by chicken bus. These colorful, chaotic former U.S. school buses are an experience in themselves, and the journey from Ometepe to Granada is filled with market noise,... more

  • Great armchair traveling!

    Laura and I met on a Christmas trip to San Juan PR and she told me about her podcast—loved virtually going to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon with you and I can’t wait to hear your upcoming episode about Puerto Rico!

  • Fun and interesting

    I love how Laura weaves the sound recordings through the episode. I’m getting useful information but I’m engaged and entertained at the same time. She’s also quite funny, I find myself laughing out loud often.

  • Always Informative & Occasionally Hilarious

    Like the title says, every episode offers a lot of information about a place and is delivered in a silky smooth, no nonsense voice that sometimes surprises me with a quirky comic sensibility. Looking forward to more eps!!!

  • Bangkok part one

    Verry slow moving…gave up after 15 minutes…not interested in hearing clicking of train conductor marking tickets or podcaster and gf counting people with masks on. Voice also slow…Bangkok is exciting! Try to transmit that excitement to your audience.
