Out Travel The System

(Expedia)

A podcast filled with travel tips … NOW? Actually, this is a new season of an existing show produced by travel service Expedia. But the question stands, and is answered this way: “Even when we’re not going anywhere, we’re planning our next adventure.” Created and hosted by Nisreene Atassi, the show provides info and ideas for inspiration. Think of it as the Covid version of armchair travel.
