TikiTokCInteresting and Fun!This is an interesting, fun and relatable podcast about, as the name says, thoughtful travel. Amanda Kendle interviews travelers from around the world about places, experiences and travel philosophy both while traveling and at home. Pour a cuppa and have a listen.

x.catherine.xAbout the experienceA relatable podcast that inspires new travels while covering realistic travel issues. The host has an easygoing style and covers interesting topics such as “traveling in cold places,” “grief and travel,” and “responsible animal tourism.” It’s more about the travel experience than just a list of places to go, which are already covered in a million other podcasts. I also think the episodes are also just the right amount of time. Thanks 🌍🌏🌎

Dawn G from TennesseeLiving vicariouslyI am a self-proclaimed world traveler ‘wanna be’ and this podcast shares great tips and information and also lets me travel vicariously to places I hope to someday visit!
-
Marina 'The Trader Chick'Interesting topics for travel lovers - Not always focused on one destinationI love podcasts that focus on destinations but most neglect other topics that affect travelers. But this podcasts touches on some of those topics from the perspective of women (mostly). Highly recommended!
-
DWH-wiMy favorite travel podcastNot just because she likes to travel the same way we do - slowly and while living as much as possible like a local. But also because she brings in many different voices to tell their travel stories, and she's one of the best interviewers I've heard for this type of format - the people are allowed to say what they want, but at the same time, the talks aren't allowed to get too far off course. The sound quality is very good and the topics are excellent. Highly recommended!

Juliet08Down-to-earth travel podcastI’m usually not a big podcast person; I usually feel like hosts waste time with boring/irrelevant chit-chatting, or selling products instead of providing value. Amanda is not like this at all: she’s fun and conversational, yet she gets right to the point, the “meat and potatoes” of each episode, which I really appreciate. She has an inspirational yet grounded view of travel which really resonates with me, and she always has diverse and interesting guests on the show. I only wish I’d discovered this podcast sooner!

BuenevitaThoroughly enjoy!I am new to this podcast but am hooked. It’s so inspiring to hear other’s views on a topic I love - travel! And I’ve already gotten some new insights & even book suggestions. Thank you!
-
kyuhlGreat Travel Stories!I love how Amanda brings together travelers from around the world to inspire thoughtful travel. While I’ve always considered myself a thoughtful traveler, Amanda challenges us to leave a positive impact on places we visit and take pieces of the places back with us to share with others through stories. It doesn’t hurt that she has the most wonderful radio voice. Listening to her is often a small bit of calm with a little bit of daydream thrown into an otherwise hectic day. Thank you, Amanda for what you do.

Coast to CostaLove this podcast!I love the podcast and think it’s great because it spreads inspiration for people to travel, which is very important!
-
bonegusGreat PodcastI appreciate Amanda's honest sharing of her own travel experiences and others from around the world. Great stories of cross-cultural challenges, as well as successes, that are relatable and entertaining.
-
KakloberdanzAmanda is a fantastic hostAmanda is a great podcast host and brings together a variety of guests to talk about a similar subject so we really get to hear multiple opinions on the same subject. It’s a great format and I really enjoy listening!

Kiliii123Great StoriesThis podcast finds interesting real stories that give you a behind the scenes glance of being a traveler. Some are hilarious, some are serious, but all are intruiging.
-
Macgeek72Favorite Travel Podcast!The Thoughtful Travel Podcast is my absolute favorite Travel podcast. I love how it is organized by theme instead of one person’s interview for each episode. Not only does this make it more interesting to get a variety of stories each time you listen, but also much more helpful to reference back to when your looking for a specific topic. Thank you Amanda! Keep up the great work!!

JoBruin26Very truthful and inspiringAs a person with Rheumatoid Arthritis, I found the travel tips and experiences shared in this podcast very honest and helpful. I hurt a lot when I travel but I cannot fathom not going on new adventures. This was a positive discussion on how to handle health issues during travel. Well worth a listen!
