Extreme Travel Odysseys

14 episodes

Extreme Travel Odysseys tells the stories of adventurers whose journeys are in some way offbeat, creative, unique, or never-ending. From full-time travel writers to those on sabbatical to those just wandering around, this podcast will inspire, inform, and show you that you don't have to climb Everest or even go to a foreign country to have an odyssey. You might pick up some travel hacks along the way, and you might just learn that even average people can take extraordinary trips. You probably won't hear the term "bucket list" since the subjects in our interviews don't look at world as a finite set of places to see. The journey is itself the goal, and it is never-ending.
