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
Belize 1: Mayan Ruins, Caves, and the Heart of San Ignacio
Travel along with Laura to the jungle town of San Ignacio, Belize, a hub for adventure, history, and wildlife. Stop by the Belize Zoo on the way, hop across the Mopan River on a hand-cranked ferry to explore the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich, and hear about the incredible Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) caves—where swimming, wading, and scrambling reveal a sacred site with intact human remains. Along the way, Laura shares tips for DIY travel, showcases the local food scene, and discovers the vibrant community of travelers and locals that make this corner of Belize unforgettable. Whether you’re seeking adventure, culture, or connection, this episode will make you want to pack your bags and head straight to the jungle.
