Travel Along With Laura

Join host Laura Lisensky as she explores the world! As much about storytelling as it is about travel recommendations, this podcast will immerse you in the sound and experience of discovering a place for the first time. Her travel style varies-sometimes its solo travel, sometimes its travel with kids, but you can always count on an adventure. Laura is a biology and environmental science teacher who strives to travel responsibly and dives into local foods, culture and experiences.  She travels with her recorder, grabbing audio as she goes, never sure what will happen next- so you really are travelling along with her!
