Airplane Mode by Away

We tell our best travel stories time and time again, years after our planes touch down in the cities we call home. In our final episode we highlight those kinds of tales—narrow brushes with danger, souvenirs with a backstory, and trips that end in unexpected situations.

An episode dedicated to travel that leaves you feeling good. Jilly Hendrix of the Lady Lovin’ podcast chats wellness; professional trainer and matcha connoisseur Stephen Cheuk offers tips for healthier travel; and the founder of Reset Travel explains how travel can improve your mental state.

Travel isn’t all beach-side cabanas and romantic retreats. Every day, millions of people take to the skies, roads, and rails for their jobs. In this episode, Phoebe Lovatt tells us how to balance work and travel. The founder of a co-working and -living space finds inspiration in Bali and shows how to take advantage of a flexible career. And a pair of photographers successfully turn travel into their livelihood.

An entire episode of Airplane Mode by Away dedicated to social impact travel! We hear from founders who run companies that leverage the power of travel for good. A Jamaican hotel’s foundation, a sailing safari, and a travel company teach us about environmental and social sustainability. Plus we learn about Away’s work with the nonprofit Peace Direct.

This week’s episode features a special guest—Away’s Editorial Director Ally Betker, who discusses our brand new travel magazine, called Here. Plus, she interviews Julia Sherman of Salad for President, during an in-store event in front of a live audience.

This week, love is in the air. We have three stories about what it’s like to fall in love while traveling, as well as travel with the ones you love. A newly engaged couple makes plans to open a boutique wellness hotel in Puerto Rico, Lucy Laucht recalls her epic six-month road trip honeymoon, and a web developer explains how she first fell for Berlin.

In this episode, our guests take to the land, sea, and skies in search of adventure. A woman quits her day job to indulge her passion for mountain climbing in Nepal. A young man reconnects to his childhood by riding horses and reindeer in Mongolia. And professional surfer Quincy Davis tells us about a life spent in search of swell. For these adventurers, travel is all about ambition: a search for something bigger and more exciting than anything they’ve ever done before.

In honor of Mother's Day, we celebrate all forms of traveling with mom. Stone Fox Bride founder Molly Guy talks about traveling with little kids, writer Ashlea Halpern advocates for grown-up trips with mom, and yoga instructor Isabella Channing connects to her mother's memory in Uruguay.

In this gastronomical tour we eat our way across the world with the food writer Howie Kahn, street food connoisseur and restaurateur Rose Previte, and food adventure curators Jeff Belizaire and Kalisa Martin.

In the very first episode of Airplane Mode by Away, we bring you stories from people who have decided to live away from home. Dancer Shamel Pitts finds a new life in Tel Aviv, fashion blogger Garance Doré finds herself in the United States, and businessman Julian Johnson reconnects to his community in Kenya.
