    Fantastic!!
    I just wanted to say I’ve been a listener for almost 2 years but I am loving the flavor of this years shows you’re dishing up. And I do mean that. They are like a meal for the mind Every one and EVERYONE you interview reminds is a reminder we share this world with such fascinating beings and how travel allows us to experience the diversity of our world.

    Must listen
    The Big Travel Show is amazing. The stories are more in-depth and candid than I thought; very amazing and real. I really enjoy that they cover such a big variety of stories and you hear from people of many different backgrounds. I think that gives a much bigger perspective and view of the world. It's very refreshing to listen to a podcast like this.

    Adventure, travel and amazing stories!
    This podcast is so fun to subscribe to because there is a wide variety of topics that all have a relation to travel. You get to hear about so many people's experiences doing things that very few of us have done before and may never do, but would love to hear about. This includes everything from climbing Everest to starting a DJ festival that is family friendly. I leave each podcast feeling that I learned something about the places involved and the mindset of the individual being interviewed. The host brings out the best in each person on the show.

    So much more than just travel
    I love learning about other cultures and I love this podcast! While all the guests have travel as some aspect of their lives, they also have so many other interesting facets about them and Lisa does a fantastic job of interviewing these fascinating guests and bringing all of that out in each entertaining and engaging episode. I have not yet listened to an episode that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. One of my favorite podcasts to listen to.

    Amazing podcast!
    I think this podcast is just a unique idea that really speaks to people in all different areas of life. It's relatable yet aspirational as well. Thanks for this treat!

    This makes me want to get out of my town!
    I’m one of those people who love to research a place to death before visiting so this podcast is perfect! Plus it gives me ideas I never would have thought of!

    A Holiday Everyone Will Enjoy
    This is an episode to remember. Great traveling tales. I appreciate the storytelling and ❤️ this particular episode that addresses going on holiday with you little ones.

    Love This!
    I finding something oddly soothing about listening to these stories. The stories are so interesting and help your day fall away.
  • Rmack746892
    Fun and Personable
    I really like how approachable this host sounds. Each interview sounds like you’re listening to two friends talk which is so personable and yet you’re still getting great insight on cool places to go while traveling. I live in the States so this podcast is definitely a motivator to get on a plane soon.

    Great Stories
    I really enjoyed the episode featuring Chris Nand. Hearing his life story reminded me a lot of my own family and some of the things they went through. This podcast features people with unique travel stories, that come from some of the most unexpected places. Looking forward to hearing more episodes!

    Traveling from Home
    I am unable to travel as I desire at the moment, so Lisa’s podcast is the perfect substitute I didn’t know I needed. The interviews and tips are great. I can’t wait to get out and try them myself!
  • klhawki
    Great advice, stories and insight!
    I love to travel and it's nice to hear stories that inspire the travel bug on ANY budget! There's also a nice variety of stories and interviews that keep you interested to the next episode!

    Much More than aTravel
    Listening to the stories of Lisa Francesca's guests, who I am not familiar with being from the US, has been quite amazing. Travel is something we all have in common, and as her first guest said, "Is a shared experience." You learn not just about different places in the world, but about the people who are embarking on these journies and how/why they landed in these places. (From the ladies of Bad at Love Podcast).
  • The Winning Brand
    Great info!!!
    Learned a lot about travel can’t wait to hear more.
  • Teniade
    Fascinating and unique
    I’m a lowkey travel junkie, and I love how this podcast teaches me about places I dream of going to in a way that’s truly immersive and organic, not superficial and/or condescending. Keep it up!!
  • Bruja Mafufa
    Teach me how to travel for a living!
    Great insight on how people who travel for a living got their start. Episode 10: which focused on LGBTQIA travel from the perspective of American Travel Blogger Adam Groffman was a great listen. I also loved Episode 12, I love Dublin, so I could completely relate.
  • Anungv
    Yes, real travel

  • Story Spectacular
    Travel through Stories!
    Great Interviews take you to exciting new places! I just listened to the interview with Dame Helena Morrissey. Host Lisa Francesca Nand is so thoughtful with her questions and brings such positivity to the show. The content is really interesting and powerful. Unlike any interview podcast that I have listened to before!!!
  • EmbeeSquared
    Love love love!
    Travel is #1 on the “things I am doing this year on my bucket list! What a fun way to learn about people who are going to great places and I can find somewhere where I didn’t have on my radar!
  • Ahr1907
    Excellent Guests and Questions!!
    I enjoy this podcast tremendously. My fav EP so far is #3. I am a professional DJ so hearing Fabio tell stories was awesome! I particulary enjoyed his feelings about Los Angeles (where I live), the comfort zone question you asked him and the story he told about the late night rave on a Wednesday where they were about to leave until one person showed up and it was packed hours later. Great job!
