Travel Along With Laura
Join host Laura Lisensky as she explores the world! As much about storytelling as it is about travel recommendations, this podcast will immerse you in the sound and experience of discovering a place for the first time. Her travel style varies-sometimes its solo travel, sometimes its travel with kids, but you can always count on an adventure. Laura is a biology and environmental science teacher who strives to travel responsibly and dives into local foods, culture and experiences. She travels with her recorder, grabbing audio as she goes, never sure what will happen next- so you really are travelling along with her!

Japan 2: Kyoto Adventures – Shrines, Sake & Street Food
Join Laura and her family as they explore the vibrant streets and serene shrines of Kyoto in the second episode of Travel Along with Laura’s Japan series! From climbing through torii gates at Shinto shrines and tasting matcha shaved ice to exploring the Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum, the family dives into the sights, flavors, and sounds of Kyoto.
Wander bustling food stalls, discover TikTok-famous Tanghulu strawberries, and enjoy unforgettable meals in cozy tatami-style restaurants. Experience the quirky side of Kyoto with a visit to a pig cafe and soak in the magical streets of Gion at night. Along the way, get tips for navigating trains, finding family-friendly lodging, and making the most of Japan’s summer heat.
