The Best Travel Podcasts to Listen to While Quarantined

Coronavirus has brought the world to a standstill. Flights have been canceled, resorts are drying up, and all trips, large or small, are being pushed back. People are locked up in their homes. Looking out the world through their windows, earbuds, and TV screens. We are getting well acquainted with the strange snacking habits of our roommates, and why we love that they live a 9–5 job.

This is an opportunity to be intentional with the free time we are now granted, although under unfortunate circumstances. Instead of scrolling through Instagram for four hours straight, let’s get some inspiration about how to live a fuller life.

Although we need to stay arms distance away, that doesn’t mean you can’t have someone in your ear. Podcasting helps you exercise your imagination, which is why this is a list of the best travel podcasts to listen to while being quarantined.

Although our lives have been put on hold, that doesn’t mean our dreams have to. Here is a list of the…
