Your Odyssey Awaits
Have you ever wanted to go on vacation but was confused about where to start or even how to afford it? Are you someone that doesn't have the type A energy to plan every single step of your upcoming trip?

Well, you're in the right place. Come all aboard on the Your Odyssey Awaits podcast, where a 27-year-old female travel enthusiast shares her impressive budget-friendly travel tips and quirky adventures from her international escapades. In this show, we'll talk about the different ways to travel, how to make it more affordable, which places you should look into, and how to get by on your own or with a group. With the help of her many guests, Ody Ezeigwe will guide you in making your next upcoming trip by tuning in every other Tuesday. All aboard!
