“Rolf has a pleasant Kansas twang to his voice, and his conversations range from travel stories, musings, tips, to non-travel topics that push a more nuanced view of the world. Highly recommend! Also, highly recommended to read his book Vagabonding.”

“This used to be a wonderful pod, full of the wonder, beauty and adventure of travel. Now you just slog your latest book with tired diatribes against people who aren’t privileged enough to travel the way you do. Hope you get back to relevance”

“I read Vagabonding years ago and was delighted to find Rolf is even better in his podcast than he was in the book. Much deeper thinking on the meaning of travel and travel writing than you will find anywhere else.
I don’t do reviews and accidentally hit the one star button when I intended to...”Read full review »

“Vagabonding and Marco Polo Didn’t Go There inspired me on my first van trip years ago, the podcast has rekindled that inspiration and is an amazing source of insight!”

“To me, this podcast is finally hitting its stride. It seems like it took a little while for Rolf to get comfortable with this medium and find what works best, but now I think this show fills a void in the podcast universe without limiting itself to a niche. He has figured out how to deliver new,...”Read full review »

“I loved vagabonding and this podcast is like a dream come true. Almost like a new travel book every week. Ive listened to 30 episodes maybe and my fav would be “Best Hostel In the World” and the 2 episodes with Nomadic Matt. God I love it. Thanks For Creating!”

“I’m glad the message was received to have more shows around travel experiences. I gave it the 5 stars for the thread with Ari and the cliffhanger for this new season with the details of your experience with psychedelics teased at the end of last season.”

“I discovered this podcast after finishing up Rolf's excellent book Vagabonding, and it was an immediate hit with me. It would have been easy for him to do a 100% travel based podcast, but he subverts this expectation with as wide a range of guests and topics as I've seen. For any...”Read full review »

“I immedately jumped on this podcast once it was recommended by Tim Ferriss. I read Vagabonding by Rolf when it was recommended by Tim, and it was a superb book. So when this podcast came out I knew I'd have to check it out.
