Curious Pavel - History meets Travel

113 episodes - English - Latest episode: 9 months ago -

Welcome to the Curious Pavel Podcast Sessions, hosted by the most positive person you will ever meet.

We get in touch with tour guides or knowledgeable locals and ask them about their area, so you don't have to. We speak about food, drinks, accommodation, prices, and sightseeing.

That way you can:

1) Travel remotely in the comfort of your chair
2) Have a guide book when you decide to visit the destination in person

Occasionally, we throw a curious travel story 😉
