Let\u2019s face it, there\u2019s only so much Netflix that can be watched. And while being in quarantine has its perks, even these start to get a little dull after the first few days. If you\u2019re itching to get back to exploring the world around you, we may have an isolation-appropriate alternative: travel podcasts. We\u2019ve rounded up some of our tops picks to get you started, and we believe you\u2019ll still be tuning long after isolation procedures have ceased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indie Travel Podcast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hosts Linda and Craig have been on a non-stop global trip since 2006, and their prime aim is to encourage people to live life as one long, debt-free adventure. Their 14 years of nomadic experience have made them masters in just about every area of travel, and their 350 episodes give you plenty of options to pick what you\u2019re most interested in hearing about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zero to Travel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This podcast is more for those who take a philosophical approach to travel. Host Jason dives into what travel is, how it affects us, and how we could be doing it better. There are also a few episodes dedicated to answering listener questions, as well as some unusual travel techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know it can be difficult staying indoors with limited social interaction, but podcasts are a great way to feel like you\u2019re listening to an extended voice note from an old friend. These ones, in particular, will give you a much-needed taste of the world outside while in isolation and are a great jumping point to start planning out your next holiday once travel restrictions have lifted. For now, sit back, relax, stay safe and be kind to one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
