Travel - From the Vault

When I ask people what they’ve always wanted to do, a frequent response is travel. They want to go places they’ve never been and experience the cultures they’ve only read about or seen on the screen.

My episodes related to travel are some of my most popular. Over the years I’ve approached the topic from several angles and I’ve gathered some excerpts here to give you a sample. 

My guests Jennifer Sumner and Barbara Castleton are seasoned travelers who share their experience and advice. Susanne Uhl Vening introduced me to Couch Surfing.com, a social network that can be a wonderful resource for people who want to connect with locals when they’re visiting a new area. Charles Mitchell is an experienced artist and teacher who leads painting holidays all over Italy. And Sarah Tarvin speaks 8 languages and is working on 4 more. She offers advice for people who want to go beyond English when they visit the world.

While many people dream of traveling the globe, one of the things that holds them back is the idea of traveling alone. Maybe they’re single or their partners aren’t interested. Many of my guests offer resources that can help the solo traveler.

One thing that ties the different episodes together is that all of my guests make the point that  people are friendly. Locals in the foreign countries want to help you and get to know you. And friendships happen easily in focused tour groups.
