Customer Reviews
Great insights on travel
Excellent podcast, interviewing travel experts, one destination at a time.
Hearing about the hidden gems and places that are off the beaten track are really insightful. It has made me add destinations to my ‘Must Visit’ list which I wouldn’t usually go for, and isn’t all about the most popular ‘touristy’ places.
It’s really interesting to hear about how tourism has been affected in these destinations due to the pandemic, and what they are doing to adapt and prepare for when visitors can return.
I very much look forward to new episodes.
