Our new podcast will bring you travel tips, hacks, and insider insights, while taking you on a journey through our very own personaltravel experiences, mishaps, and everything in between.

My name is Ian MacIntosh and I’m you host, and along with my wife Donna, we’re travel consultants and adventure seekers from Scotland, here to help you explore the world with ease."

This PODCAST cuts through the noise and delivers actionable, expert-backed travel tips that you can actually use. Join us weekly as we open our suitcase full of travel stories, hacks, and real life experiences to share with you. Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or just planning your first adventure, we’ve got you covered.     Each episode, we’ll dive into the best ways to make your travels smoother, safer, and a lot more fun.

You’ll hear about the places we’ve loved,  the mistakes we’ve learned from, and those hidden gems that we Scots seem to have a knack for finding! We LOVE all sorts of travel, but have a passion especially for all things America and find ourselves there several times a year.  This can simply be exploring major cities like New York,  Las Vegas, New Orleans, OR at a cruise embarkation port like Miami, ready to set sail to the Caribbean ( we do love cruising ).  If your fan of Cold Beer, Country Music & Hot Chicken we got you covered, as Nashville, Tennessee is our go to destination every year during CMA FEST.

So, pack your bags    and join us on this journey as we explore new destinations, give you practical advice, and share the joy of discovering the world from the perspective of a couple with a love for adventure, and of course—a wee bit of Scottish humor.

Let's go, Grab your passport, your sense of adventure, and maybe even a wee dram of whisky — because MacTravelling is about to take off!
