Fun, chill podcast to quench your wanderlust

Sad to see the show come to an end, but I understand it may have outlived it’s life cycle as it was haha. I have been slowly listening to every episode over the last 3 years and am currently in the 2016 episodes. Fun to follow along with the chronology of travel/the world over this time period and I love the discussion style of the show!

Love the podcast

I have listened to every single episode! Wish you would post more often. Great podcast

Just another travel show

It’s a misnamed podcast. It’s not “this week in travel”. Don’t expect news and coverage of current travel conditions worldwide. Instead expect a guy in his basement talking trips and the like with guests.
