There’s no shortage of travel advice out there—who can save us a buck, what to do, when’s the best time to go, where to go. But one fundamental question often gets left behind: why? Born from an award-winning magazine series of the same name, Y We Travel explores the deeper motivations behind our journeys. Hosted by Eric Weiner, a New York Times bestselling author and former foreign correspondent, and Erica Vella, an award-winning podcaster and former broadcast journalist, the show unpacks the emotions, discoveries, and purpose that give travel its meaning.
