The Erica James Travel Show
The Erica James Travel Show is hosted by travel agent/blogger Erica James. She shares her passion for travel with podcast listeners. This is the best travel podcast for the everyday traveler, the casual traveler and the beginner traveler. Rather than encouraging you to quit your day job and travel full time, the free travel podcast encourages practical travel that makes sense in the real world. From tips about how to pack, reviews of destinations and interviews with experts, Erica James aims to help new travelers as they ease from guided trips and cruises to exploring on their own.
