It's here that the challenges and pleasures of traveling are being discussed in detail. Below, we’ve gathered just a handful of great travel podcasts hosted by diverse voices. Tune in! ## Let’s Go Together [![Let's Go Together podcast](https://www.turnerpr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1244x1244_6207_TAL_LetGoTogetherPodCast_Category-1-3.jpg?width=600&height=600&name=1244x1244_6207_TAL_LetGoTogetherPodCast_Category-1-3.jpg)](https://www.turnerpr.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1244x1244_6207_TAL_LetGoTogetherPodCast_Category-1-3.jpg) Kellee Edwards isn’t just an award-winning travel expert. She’s also a licensed pilot, an advanced open water scuba diver and an explorer who’s been to more than 50 countries. Now, she can add podcaster to her CV. This spring, Edwards launched [*Let’s Go Together*](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lets-go-together/id1509990900), a new travel-centric podcast created in collaboration with Travel + Leisure.  It’s devoted to spotlighting diverse voices in the travel world — the ones you don’t often hear from in mainstream publications. “As an African American woman in the travel space, I’m all about breaking down barriers and showing the world that there’s no one way to be an adventurer,” Edwards says. ***Recommended Episode:*** The [first episode of *Let’s Go Together*](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/climbing-machu-picchu-in-a-wheelchair/id1509990900?i=1000475015348) focuses on Jesse Billauer’s inspiring wheelchair journey to Machu Picchu in southern Peru. ## Blackpacking [![Blackpacking podcast](https://www.turnerpr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/blackpacking-6dx108qEInc-B3yUQhkej8Y_1400x1400-1-3.jpg?width=600&height=600&name=blackpacking-6dx108qEInc-B3yUQhkej8Y_1400x1400-1-3.jpg)](https://www.turnerpr.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/blackpacking-6dx108qEInc-B3yUQhkej8Y_1400x1400-1-3.jpg) [Blackpacking](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blackpacking/id1465023126), hosted by solo traveler Jarika, takes a deep dive into how Black people experience vacations in new countries or trips back to their national country. During each episode, Jarika talks to travel bloggers, photographers, and tour operators about race, culture and simple human interaction. “The world is a beautiful place, and this podcast encourages travel, but not for the reason of a good Instagram picture,” Jarika writes. She encourages “travel for empowerment and eliminating our fear of stepping out of our comfort zone.” ***Recommended Episode:*** Don’t miss [the interview with Keem](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passport-abuser/id1465023126?i=1000473084232) – AKA the Passport Abuser — a solo traveler from New Jersey who has made it to 50 countries and counting. ## Misadventures of an Outdoorsy Diva ![](https://www.turnerpr.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Copy_of_Copy_of_Untitled_Design-1-3.png) Lauren is a Tampa-based blogger, traveler and lover of the outdoors.
