Best podcast in the world ❤️🐌💌🌍
Finally something different about places most didn’t know about. I found a podcast and website where i want to read every single article… I discovered it when setting up my SnailMailChronicles.com project and it was love at first sight! Right up my alley.
Short and interesting...
For everyone who loves and is interested in the world! This podcast presents interesting and obscure places and makes you feel either that you’ve already been there or that you’d like to visit. Highly recommended!
