Our take on Rails, Ales & Old Towns: A Europe Travel Podcast

Focus on the fun side of seeing Europe with journalist and European travel lover Scott Hartbeck. Scott's been traveling to Europe as often as he can for nearly 20 years and the more of Europe he experiences, the more her realizes that the true magic of European travel lies in savoring the little moments instead of ticking off a list full of marquee attractions. And that's what Rails, Ales & Old Towns is all about.
