Explorations All Over
Welcome to Explorations All Over, a travel podcast that goes beyond itineraries to explore how a place feels—and why it stays with us long after we’ve returned home.
In Season 1, I shared some of my most memorable adventures—from Africa to Japan to the Caribbean—talking about cruising, flying, hotels, and the logistics of travel along the way.
In Season 2, I’m changing things up.
Rather than chronological recaps of where we went and what we did each day, this season is more sensory and reflective. I want to explore how a place felt, why it mattered to me, and how it shifted my perspective on the world.
There are plenty of travel podcasts that focus on daily schedules and checklists. Instead, I want you to feel like you’re right there with me—seeing what I saw, tasting what I tried, smelling the air, and listening to the world around us.
Season 2 is about immersion. It’s about escape. It’s about the excitement—and sometimes the surprises—of traveling the world.
I’ll still take you to incredible destinations and share helpful tips and suggestions so you can learn from our experiences, both the successful ones and the moments that didn’t go quite as planned.
I hope these episodes give you a sense of connection, curiosity, and wanderlust—and that you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed creating them.

What makes the perfect vacation?
Is it the destination? The hotel? The food? The activities?
Or could it have more to do with understanding what kind of traveler you are?
In this Season 2 finale of Explorations All Over, I sit down with travel advisor Dee Koger to explore how our personalities, preferences, and travel styles shape the vacations we choose—and the memories we bring home.
Our conversation covers everything from family travel and multigenerational vacations to cruises, independent travel, and the questions Dee asks her clients before recommending a destination. Along the way, we discuss why two people can take the exact same trip and have completely different experiences, and why your favorite travel memory may reveal more about your ideal vacation than your bucket list ever could.
Whether you work with a travel advisor or plan every detail yourself, this conversation may change the way you think about travel planning.
Thank you for joining me throughout Season 2. From Christmas Markets and Antarctica to Ancient Faiths, Uganda, French Polynesia, Turkey, and now this conversation with Dee, it's been an incredible journey.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode and whether you'd like to hear more conversations like this in future seasons.
