Searching for a good podcast? šŸ‘‡


When I'm travelling, I love socialising. I really do.

I love hanging out with friends or being at the bar and meeting random characters on the road.

But I also love my own space - and sometimes I just wanna sit in a corner and listen to a good podcast.

For me, podcasts are truly a travellerā€™s best friend ā€“ both on and off the road.

They keep me company on long journeys, they're often inspiring or informative, or just overall a good time.

One thing is for sure, though. 9 times out of 10, a podcast will be better than scrolling through useless crap on social media.

Here are some of my favourite travel podcasts I've listened to this year.
