If you've been feeling some wanderlust lately, you might be interested in a podcast called Out Travel the System.

Out Travel the System is one of our sponsors. It's brought to you by Expedia, and its mission is to inspire and inform about travel.

That can mean anything from building your bucket list to taking concrete steps to take

including a commercial airline pilot, a woman who travels pretty much year-round,

Out Travel the System is available wherever you get your podcasts.
