Join host Kellee Edwards, an award-winning travel expert, for Let's Go Together, a podcast that redefines what it means to explore. This isn't just about destinations; it's about the people who journey to them and the stories that unfold along the way. Each episode features candid conversations with travelers whose perspectives challenge the conventional narrative. You'll hear from a mountaineer who scaled Machu Picchu in his wheelchair and from the first documented Black woman to visit every country, among many others. These are deeply personal accounts about belonging, access, and the transformative power of seeing the world through a different lens. Produced by Travel + Leisure, the podcast naturally explores themes of inclusivity and adventure within society and culture, proving that the most compelling journeys are often those that expand our understanding of community. Tune in for weekly episodes that are as much about human connection as they are about passports and itineraries.
