Tourist in your Town
I visit towns and cites around the world, collecting histories and stories. I will share those stories with you, helping you to see your town through new eyes and ears. I will go to tourist hotspots and help you see why those places are visited so often. After all, those places are special for a reason and sometimes we need to be reminded. I will visit the not so known places and bring you stories of spots off the beaten path. I will share the stories of historic women and minorities. Visit touristinyourtownpodcast.com for more information! I would love to hear your travel stories. Email me at sharon@touristinyourtownpodcast.com with your best and worst travel stories.
