It was nice to hear an older perspective on life
Love Daniel and all the Wayfinder conversations. In just 30 mins I can feel like I’ve traveled the world, and learn about destinations I never would’ve thought to visit. Have so many more places to add to my bucket list now!!
It was a amazing experience to have with the poadcasters
It’s just done so well - the intro, the storytelling with the audio cues, the conversation between the host and the guest. It’s very immersive. Can’t wait for more travel tales!
The part that I was able to connect with and really feel was the transportation into anew culture and the diversities that come with the visit with the journey. Did it make me want to plan a trip absolutely.
