Customer Reviews
Artful Take on Travel
I have loved this podcast for years from my time as a young female traveler for the artful way you tell stories of travel. It goes beyond tips and hacks to offer new perspectives and rich stories. There’s no other podcast like it! Now that I’m a parent, I do wish this podcast was more inclusive of women like myself who now have children. I find the stories increasingly unrelatable and honestly discouraging as a parent who can’t travel in the ways your guests describe. As your audience moves through these life stages, it would add so much value for us (and fill a void for these types of stories) to include traveling mothers in your stories.
