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!

Nicaragua 2: Ometepe: A Sacred Island, Lots of Chocolate, and Freshwater Sharks
Welcome to Ometepe, the magical island in Central America's largest lake! In this episode, Laura takes you on the ferry, shares the story of Ometepe’s twin volcanoes, and dives into the island’s deep history, wild creatures, and sacred spirit. You’ll visit El Pital Chocolate Paradise to learn about cacao—from ancient traditions to modern chocolate-making—and even hear how bull sharks have learned to thrive in fresh water. This is just the beginning of Laura’s Ometepe adventure!
