Thou Shalt Be Generous
Sometimes sexy rugby players can be big hearted, and sometimes you need to just show some benevolence to your fellow passengers in the skies. From almsgiving in Laos, to feeding stray pups in Cairo, travel writer Daniel Scheffler believes that a little generosity on the road goes much further than you could possibly imagine.

Thou Shalt Know Your Starting Point
How can you know where you're going if you don't know where you come from? Travel writer Daniel Scheffler trips back to explore his South African roots before he treks to Sicily to propose to his husband. And somewhere en route, he climbs a mountain in Chile, greets a Roman god in Birmingham, Ala., and grabs a pour-over coffee, of course.

Thou Shalt Worship All Things Local
From staycations in Manhattan, to finding Dame Agatha Christie in London, all the way to exploring embroidery in Cristiano Ronaldo's home island of Madeira, travel writer Daniel Scheffler insists that all things local are where the lessons in humanity lie for all of us.

Thou Shalt Keep Holy The High And Low
Claim back luxury! Daniel reminds you that luxury is not what you've been told, it's for you to define yourself - whether it's a remote island with nothing to do, or a quiet moment in a museum. No preconceived notions allowed.

Thou Shalt Throw Out The CheckList
Horseback across Mongolia's steppe for 10 days? No problem, but don't bring your check list, please. John Reede, from Aman Resorts agrees, in our interview. Just dump those lists please, and come and travel in the moment with yourself.

Thou Shalt Shut the F**k Up and Learn Something
The American South isn't a monolithic thing. It's nuanced, beautiful and utterly complicated. If you stop judging it - and come and see it for yourself with a little less snide, perhaps you could actually learn something? From Mississippi, to Greenville, SC, to Lexington, Kentucky and even Dallas, Texas - and everywhere else.
Customer Reviews
Redefining the Magic of Travel
I have really enjoyed this podcast. Especially at a time when the world is pretty shut down and travel and small interactions with people aren’t happening. I love the personal stories that Daniel and his guests share about unique experiences they have had. I have traveled a little and I always find my favorite moments are not the big touristy spots but the little moments of discovery. My tiny little complaint that held me back from a full 5 stars is sometimes I feel a little preached to on political subjects and I just don’t enjoy that on any level. But overall it’s a wonderful podcast!
Very inspirational! Forget the haters.
Love, love, love this podcast! I’ve listened to all the episodes several times each. It has really inspired me to travel the world and not be so selfish about it. Saving the planet, sharing with the less fortunate, being a tourist in my own town and so many other cool tips! So if you’re the type of person who has an excuse for everything, or can come up with every possible reason not to travel, and who feels like they’re “too poor” (if you’re generous people will reciprocate) or “not privileged enough,”(stop making everything about yourself) or some other whinny thing you left on your review, then this podcast is not for you. Go listen to something else, possibly something about how to become a human mole or some other subterranean being. But if you’re all about new experiences and you’re not afraid to toss away the itinerary. I strongly recommend this podcast. You’ll learn to travel in a way that is more and more enjoyable each time you leave your house.
Instant Favorite
I just started listening to this podcast yesterday, but it instantly became one of my favorites. I love traveling, and was drawn in by the mix of Daniel’s personal stories, the historical exploration with Holly, and local interviews from various places. I immediately wanted to cancel all my plans, pack a bag, and go on an adventure.
