This was an excellent podcast. I agree with everything she said! Now in April 2022, I am going to Cyprus in a couple of weeks and hoping to get back to long distance bicycle touring in the fall. Amazing how Covid has changed the way I think about how to make these things happen. Thanks! John...Read full review »

I love this episode!!! I’m so into the indigenous culture - it’s such a beautiful thing.

Our histories are...Read full review »

The host clearly chooses her guests and topics carefully. Every episode introduces you to new cultures and countries within the context of a given subject. Its witty and entertaining but also sheds light on less glamourus but very real aspects of travel.
