Speaking of Travel Global Podcast with Marilyn Ball

Welcome to Speaking of Travel. I'm Marilyn Ball, your host and fellow traveler, and I'm so glad you're here!

Speaking of Travel is about more than where we go. For me, travel is about the people we meet and the discoveries that stay with us long after the journey ends. For over a decade, I've had the privilege of talking with extraordinary people from across the globe. Travelers, authors, artists, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and changemakers who share experiences that inspire curiosity and hope.

What I love most is discovering what brings us together. Every conversation offers something new. A different way of seeing the world. A lesson learned. A moment of courage. A reminder that every person has a story worth sharing.

So come along for the journey. Listen anytime on all major podcast platforms and explore our growing library of conversations from around the world. Your next adventure or meaningful connection may begin with a single story.
