    Great travel podcast
    This is a great travel podcast to learn all about the exciting places around the world. As a travel points enthusiast, I find that some of the those points specific podcasts focus only on the travel points that they miss the details of the trip. This podcast fills that void. I love learning about all the amazing places highlighted and Kelsey always asks the right questions at the right time. Every question she asked I think to myself “yes I want to know that too!“. Ha!

    Love!
    Love this podcast! It makes waking up on Monday mornings way easier knowing I will get to listen to a new episode and dream about a new destination. I was also lucky enough to be a guest earlier this year. It was so fun to chat with Kelsey and relive our trip. In addition to our pics and videos, the episode is now another treasured keepsake from our vacation. Just last week I had the pleasure of going, for the first time, to one of the destinations covered (Copper Mountain). I listened before we left and not only did it add to the excitement of traveling but I felt like a pro when we arrived. Keep up the good work Kelsey!

    Episode 51
    Annie did a great job describing both resorts in a way that I (with adult children) could get the info that applied to me. Nice overall of both resorts and the area. And now I want to go to there.

    The good, the bad and the ugly
    I like how Kelsey and her guests tell the truth about their experience. They’re honest about their trip, the good parts, the bad parts, and the really bad things about the place. Good stuff.

    Real travel stories!
    I love this podcast because Kelsey and her guests talk about real trips and they include both their highs and lows which I think is important for planning a trip. I love that it sounds like buddies chatting over coffee, fun, honest and totally relatable. Give it a listen!

    Love!
    I love this podcast! I really love that most guests seem to be people who actually took the trip and paid for it themselves…not travelers sponsored by the venue they went to. It seems so reliable as a result. My list of places to go is growing though!!!
  • Brooke Spater
    Really informative!

    Trip Fails - YES!
    Loved hearing real life friends really chat it up about real life decisions! Vacation planning is stressful last min or well in advance. Thought this honest review with background knowledge was helpful! Also really sad for this experience! We went to T and C in 2024. Stayed at a small villa rental property. Fabulous pool, on the beach, full kitchen, amazing staff, and walking distance to all the things we love. My 4 and 7 year old fell in love with the beach (as it was their first time for a full beach vacation)

    Great Vacation Destination Ideas
    I love listening to the guests and their destinations. Great info and gives me ideas of where I want to travel to next.
  • lindaleedodson
    Oh my goodness! Just listen
    For a wanna be traveler, this podcast will have you packing your bags. So much detailed information for those of us who have not yet explored all the places we want to go. Very helpful. Listening paints a picture of the destination. I am newly retired and have traveled a few places…Hilton Head, New York, Charleston, Newport RI. I too live near Nashville and enjoy the convenience of the Airport. I will keep listening and planning. We hope to go to London next year. We are heading to Maine in two weeks. So thankful to find this podcast!
