From "finding the best-priced plane tickets" to "packing like a pro", there's a lot to know about travelling, said Travel + Leisure magazine. "That's where podcasts come in." The best travel podcasts "inform and inspire" and can help you "nail down those hacks, discover your next destination, or daydream about future trips".
Often thought of as "the godfather of travel", American writer, author, and TV personality Rick Steves encourages devotees to explore "less touristy" places in order to experience a country's "true culture". On his weekly podcast, "Travel With Rick Steves", he chats with "guest experts and callers about culture, people, and all things travel". Another place to find destination inspiration is "Armchair Explorer", hosted by travel writer Aaron Millar. Every episode tells a story in "documentary style" which is "set to music" and "complete with cinematic effects". Listeners can get "truly immersed" in the travel experience. "Expect action and thrills."
