TravelTalk

This will be the last episode of the TravelTalk Podcast. After a year and a half of diving into the travel industry and starting this passion project I've been fortunate to cross paths with the most incredible individuals including my interviewees, my teammates, and the fans who listen to every episode. 

It has been an incredible journey and learning experience. I'm happy of the work we created together and hope you enjoy going back to these episodes from time to time as I will.  

I will keep all episodes archived so you may access them for the next year. I hope you enjoy and please keep in touch on our website at traveltalk.io or melissa@traveltalk.io.
