Reviewer: nhrisd from California

Like travel itself, this podcast meanders back and forth between high and low points as its host recounts various trips and real life advice about his travels. His in-depth study of the best sites for internet travel shopping was excellent, offering tips I didn't know about how to get the best deal. The few that I listened to were from Australia. While I did find a few sections rather bland, those who like a good account of trip minutia for a specific area will enjoy these podcasts.

Apart from its scary, horror movie voice intro, this podcast is delivered in a low-key conversational tone, and most episodes were a bit like getting a comfortable, newsy report from your best buddy upon his or her return from vacation.

This was a pretty decent podcast on traveling. The audio was a bit amateur as was the host but I guess that's the name of show. Chris Christensen is fine but he needs some interviews or somebody else to spice the show up a little. Right now it's a little dry.
