United States Travel Podcast with Harper Wells

This podcast approaches travel in the United States as a matter of settling somewhere long enough to understand it. The country is vast central plains, western mountains, eastern hills and low mountains, plus Alaska and Hawaii's volcanic terrain. That range makes each relocation a shift in climate and habit as much as geography. Her route takes in real range: Chicago and the Great Lakes, the Rocky Mountain front, the arid Great Basin of the southwest, and the low mountain country of the east. She also treats Washington, D.C. as a working capital rather than a postcard. Each location is chosen for how it connects to the last. The podcast follows a slower rhythm. Harper returns to places as seasons change, watching how a city like Houston feels in January and July, or how a mountain valley reveals itself after rain. Over time, listener and host build a layered mental map of the country that no single trip could provide. Harper Wells lives in United States and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Harper is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?
