#173: Adventures, Backpacking, and Learning English in a Hostel

How to Leave an iTunes Review
This will help our ranking and more people will see the podcast. Aww Yeah!
Very interesting episode, especially for someone who is suffering from itchy feet. Being a German I was surprised and also a bit flattered that American English has adopted our expression “Wanderlust”. Recently I read John Steinbeck’s classic “Travels with Charley” and found that a treasure trove for travel-related issues.
Left a Five Star Review on iTunes.
