Who am I?
My love of travel has folded over into my career as a travel writer with OnlyInYourState. I spent nearby 6 years in an RV traveling the country, and even though I've settled down in one state, I still venture out multiple times a year. I love to travel in all formats so much so that I quit my job and traveled the country in an RV for many years. Nothing beats a travel podcast when you're on the open road :)
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
My podcast is all about travel. We dive into places that many people don't know about. Our first season focused on Small Town Getaways across America in hopes to promote more localized travel.
What is my podcast playlist about?
Traveling is all about finding new places, hidden gems, and off-the-beaten-path places. Some of the best travel podcasts dive deep not just into the location, but also the history and facts of the place, too.
1. Not Your Average Bucket List
Why this podcast?
This isn't your typical travel podcast. It dives into the hidden gems of the states plus offers up unique history, facts, and tidbits. The seasons change topics so it isn't stagnant. I love the Creep Lore season! Also, it's run by the travel website OnlyInYourState!

Though travel and adventure have historically been publicly claimed by men, women have always been part of those narratives, too. Each week, host and Condé Nast Traveler editor Lale Arikoglu shines a light on some of those stories, interviewing female-identifying guests about their most unique travel tales—from going off-grid in the Danish wilderness to country-hopping solo—sharing her own experiences traveling around the globe, and tapping listeners to contribute their own memorable stories. This is a podcast for anyone who is curious about the world—and excited to explore places both near and far from home.
