À propos du podcast

Wayfinder is a podcast for the curious, luxurious, and adventurous traveler. Host and veteran travel writer Daniel Scheffler ventures off the map and into traveler stories of beauty, blunder, and transformation, those unforgettable moments guidebooks can't capture.

 

Inspired by the ancient Polynesian wayfinders who navigated the ocean by stars, swells, and intuition, each episode features an immersive tale of what happens when we follow our senses and trust our inner compass to lead the way. With local tips, food adventures, and cultural encounters, Wayfinder reveals not just where to travel, but how to journey through the world with humor, wonder, and our own curiosity.
