Randy Sharman The Informed Traveler Podcast

The Informed Traveler is a weekly travel podcast dedicated to bringing you the latest travel news and information. Each week we provide insight traveling to interesting destinations, plus useful travel tips to help you along the way.
My travel knowledge mostly comes from working in the cruise line industry for 3 years. That experience has taken me to both coastlines of North America, Alaska and Hawaii to Mexico and the Caribbean and Central and South America. The Informed Traveler is all about making that experience more enjoyable.
As Mark Twain once said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” I hope the Informed Traveler assists you in your explorations, dreams and discoveries of the world.
