You know how itchy your feet can become when you listen to your friends and family talking about their latest trip? It’s so inspiring to hear the funny stories, the mishaps and the adventures first hand. If their tales really do spur you into action, take advantage of a podcast to solidify your plans.
The internet is a mine of useful information for travellers. If you’re looking for travel tips, a travel-themed podcast is an excellent place to start. There are numerous free audio and video podcasts available online that you can access from your home computer, tablet or smartphone. You can compare the information in these blogs with that of your friends and family and help them to make a decision on which travel adventure is right for you.
Remember that travel blogs are a first hand account – use them as a point of reference and make up your own mind. Always seek professional advice before departing about your chosen destination.
