Travel Tales by Afar celebrates the power of travel through stories from adventurers who discovered that the best journeys change more than just your location, they change you.

Join us each week as we dig into stories from people who took a trip and came home transformed, whether through serendipitous encounters in remote villages, mishaps that became highlights, or unexpected connections that shifted their entire worldview.

From finding love in a Lisbon bookshop to surviving Sahara sandstorms, these stories prove that travel—at its best—changes the way we see the world. Plus, you won’t want to miss the archive of incredible stories from around the globe—and the years.

In our inaugural season, we focused on America 250, podcasting live from IPW, the annual travel conference organized by the U.S. Travel Association to share the best of America with the rest of the world.

From the conference floor in Chicago, Afar editorial directory Billie Cohen and deputy editor Michelle Baran sat down with travel industry leaders to unpack the biggest news and insights during a pivotal moment for American tourism.
