Pretty good!

Love this podcast. Wish they’d steer clear of politics because it ruins the escapist vibe. Was particularly disappointed to hear Sandi Toksvig discuss the US election. How the most intelligent woman in the world can support the least intelligent woman in the world (Kamala) is beyond me, and upsetting.

Binge-worthy

Binge-worthy podcast. This is more than a fun way to get excited about new trips; it illustrates the ways each traveler is impacted by a place.

My happy podcast

This is the podcast I listen to when I want a pick me up, inspiration, entertainment, an escape. I usually listen in the evenings when I’m cooking dinner and it always puts me in a good mood. Do yourself a favor and listen! Even if you aren’t a big traveler, the people you will meet and the stories you will hear are worth it. It’s inspiring and Holly is an excellent host! It’s my favorite podcast to listen to.

No new episodes in nearly 4 months.

Nice program. But, there aren’t any new episodes. You should at least post when new episodes will be available. Deleting this program, and will check back next year.

Leftists

Running their mouths about things they know nothing about.

Enjoying very much

I am listening from the US so some of these interviewees are not familiar to me but I have loved all of them whether I know them or not. Holly brings their stories to life not just with the 7-8 actual questions but all the insights in between. Very, very interesting and Inspiring. Only tiny complaint is the sound quality…..I realize that some were done remotely during Covid, I understand that, but some of these people talk too softly…maybe a way to get them to speak up or more clearly would help.

The sound quality of the interviewee is bad

Not clear enough for someone like me whose first language is not English.

Inspirational travel

Have very much enjoyed these podcasts! Wish I had discovered them before the COVID19 pandemic; however, they have made my long walks in my neighborhood so pleasureful! I now have a lot more travel plans in my future!

Travel Inspiration!!!

I enjoy listening to this podcast, especially because travel is limited due to the pandemic. Not only is it a little escape, but also an inspiration when it is safe to travel more again! I have add some new places to my future travel list! I love listening to the podcast on my sanity walks!
