JUMP WITH TRAVELING JACKIE

There’s barely a corner of the world that Jackie Nourse hasn’t seen up-close and personally – and thankfully she’s pretty happy to share those experiences on a fortnightly basis! There’s loads of practical tips to go with the constant supply of inspiration, while the podcast’s root as a budget-friendly show means you won’t need to break the bank either!
TRAVEL WITH RICK STEVES

He didn’t waste time on the name, granted – but that’s probably because he was busy travelling!

ONE MORE ROAD FOR THE BEER
Find it on iTunes here
It’s a niche one, granted – but who doesn’t love a foamy brew on their travels? A pair of connoisseurs talk us through Europe with a very particular focus – where the best drinks are, where to find them, how to enjoy them, and other beer-based bits ‘n’ pieces. There’s a little more to it, of course – from sights worth seeing to where one should sleep it off – though there’s no doubting the main fixation!
