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!
Travel Along With Laura
Laos 1: Vientiane and Luang Prabang – Exploring Culture and Cuisine
Join Laura as she crosses the Thailand-Laos border and explores the charm of Vientiane, the tiny but lively capital. From navigating confusing train tickets and tuk-tuks to discovering local BBQs and serene Mekong riverside walks, she takes you along every quirky and memorable step. Then it’s off to Luang Prabang, where French-influenced architecture, bustling night markets, and sacred wats meet rainbow-colored dragon boats and early-morning alms giving. Along the way, Laura reflects on culture, communism, and the slower pace of life in Laos, making this episode a vivid mix of travel, food, and thoughtful observations.
