    Interesting travel stories and good tips!
    I keep coming back to this podcast over and over. He has some pretty wild stories, and he has insight on tons of locations! My only constructive criticism would be to have a cohost or a guest to mix it up a little. Swapping stories between friends would add a lot of humor. Overall, really great podcast!

    Came here for Kilimanjaro
    The podcast was really great in the beginning, we came here for Kilimanjaro. Unfortunately at the end he was describing how it’s not necessary to make sure that the porters are taken care of which is one of the most unethical ways to climb this mountain. KPAP is important for porters and please use a company or guide that is KPAP certified. Disappointed.

    Appreciate the detail
    I find this podcast very helpful for travel planning because the host gets into the details and nuances of travel (best time of day to go, best mode of transportation to take, best way to book tickets etc). I don’t need another podcast telling me how great and beautiful places are, I know that already- I want to get into the weeds of destinations. Perfect podcast if that is your goal.
  • TheWildRedFox
    Super helpful
    Was trying to plan my trip to Copenhagen and listened to his episode, then listened to a couple more. His travel style is fantastic—budget friendly and hitting the main spots while avoiding tourist traps. He has super solid recommendations and is honest about which sites or activities were not amazing. I loved his episode on Iceland, I’ve only ever spent a couple days there due to the cost but he had a great tip about sleeping in your car to be more flexible and pay less for accommodation. As a (sometimes solo) female traveler, I also liked his tips on areas in different countries/cities he felt unsafe or uncomfortable. He’s funny and chill and has a relaxed way of talking.

    Super Detailed Travel Advice
    I happened upon “Educate Your Travel” when searching for Iceland content and immediately binged several episodes (though Iceland is one of my faves!). Jordan is one of the most thorough travel podcasters I’ve listened to, providing detailed itineraries, honest opinions and experiences. He’s an incredible story teller - so much so - that I’ve re-listened to my favorite episodes. His podcasts on Iceland and Italy were super helpful and spot on - 100% recommend! - Portia @girlfriendgetawayguide

    Really good travel podcast
    Just found your podcast and really enjoyed it. I’ve been traveling most of my life from back in the 60s. I regard a good travel podcast when I can think of the next thing your going to say. Just listened to the Egypt one. Look forward to the rest.
