8 Travel Podcasts That Will Inspire You To Wander
In this day and age, traveling has become a trending topic in the social media world. Many people see the glamorized shots of wanderlusters globetrotting around the world, but are unaware of how they’re able to travel so much. The great thing about travel podcasts is that you can hear the story of the person behind Instagram shots and cinematic YouTube videos, and see how they are able to fund their travel addictions and provide advice to those who may aspire to be like them. Here are eight great podcast shows that can help provide you with information and ideas on how you can leverage different skills that can aid you for when you take your leap abroad.
