What Listeners Say About Us

Love this podcast!

Pin Drip

This podcast is full of great information. I don’t know about you but I get so tired of looking at the same blog posts about touristy things to do. I really enjoy a local’s perspective so you can truly dive into the culture and vibe of an area. If you like to explore areas away from the tourists then I highly recommend this podcast!

I LOVE your episodes! Short and to the point with recommendations on all the things I like to do. I listen to these episodes with my GoogleMaps and save so many hikes, restaurants, things to do, and places to stay. The destinations you highlight are all up my alley too! THANK YOU!

This is my absolute favorite podcast right now. Only wish it wasn’t so new so I had more episodes to binge at once!! This podcast has definitely made me want sell my house, buy an RV and head out on the road and explore all the mentioned places and more. Informative and fun. Absolutely can’t say enough good things about this podcast.

In 2022, the Locals Know Best podcast went on hiatus so Cindy could focus on thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail.

These days, Cindy focuses primarily on creating new content for the Cinders Travels website.
