Sometimes, all it takes is a good story to spark your next trip. Whether you’re stuck in traffic, at your desk, or winding down after a long day, these travel podcasts offer more than just destination guides, they bring culture, perspective, and a sense of possibility. Think of this as your passport to everywhere.
Zero To Travel Podcast
Hosted by Jason Moore, this one is for the dreamers who are ready to do more than just dream.
It leans into the idea that travel can be a lifestyle, not a luxury, unpacking everything from working remotely abroad to redefining what “home” really means. It’s equal parts practical and perspective-shifting.
Women Who Travel
Produced by Condé Nast Traveler, this podcast feels like a conversation with your well-travelled friends. It centres women’s voices and experiences; honest, nuanced, and often deeply relatable. From navigating solo trips to finding community in unfamiliar places, it’s a reminder that how we travel matters just as much as where we go.
The Travel Diaries
With Holly Rubenstein at the helm, this podcast is storytelling at its softest and most nostalgic. Guests unpack the journeys that shaped them; those formative trips, unexpected detours, and full-circle moments. It’s less about ticking destinations off a list and more about the emotional imprint travel leaves behind.
Armchair Explorer
Created by Aaron Millar, this is for when you want to disappear into a story. The sound design is rich, the pacing is cinematic, and the adventures are anything but ordinary. It’s the kind of podcast that reminds you that travel isn’t always glossy...it’s raw, unpredictable, and deeply human.
Amateur Traveler
Hosted by Chris Christensen, this long-standing favourite is grounded, informative, and refreshingly thorough. Each episode zooms in on a destination with the kind of detail that makes planning feel less overwhelming and more exciting. It’s like having a well-informed friend walk you through your next trip.
JUMP with Traveling Jackie
With Jackie Nourse, it’s all about courage; the quiet kind and the bold, life-altering kind. This podcast nudges you to trust your instincts, take the trip, make the change. It’s less about perfect itineraries and more about the moments that shift you.
