Hey there, I'm Joey!
I’m the solo host of Safe Travels Pod. I started this podcast because I believe everyone should know the real stories behind our national parks — geology, wildlife, ranger voices, and the land’s history. I’ve spent years exploring, filming, and recording in our incredible National Parks. My mission: bring you honest, ground-level stories from the backcountry and beyond.
Whether you’re a hardcore adventurer, a first‑time park visitor, or someone who just loves nature from afar — this podcast is for you.
Why Safe Travels Pod?
We dig deep. Every episode is rooted in respect for the land and the people who protect it. Expect:
- In‑depth interviews with park rangers, scientists, and naturalists
- Stories from the trail — wilderness, wildlife, geology, history
- High-quality field photography & video stills to bring the parks to your screen
- Accessible storytelling — no jargon, no gatekeeping, just honest wonder
What Listeners Are Saying
"Started Listening to the Zion episodes to prep for an upcoming trip and loved how much actual info about the natural beauty of the park these episodes dug into! As someone who has helped do research for Acadia National Park in the past, hearing about the dark sky info, animals, ecosystems, and plants made me even more excited to keep exploring — HIGHLY recommend listening!" — Listener Review
"Big fan of Safe Travels! I love National Parks, but I don't necessarily spend a lot of time in the visitors centers when I'm at a park. Safe Travels provides so much information and an insight into each park it's covered. Can't wait to see more and more parks build out this podcast." — Listener Review
"Love this podcast! A great change of pace and content that really shows an inside view of our beautiful national parks. I love that you can learn fun and interesting facts from people clearly passionate about what they do and nature. Every time I listen, I can't help but think of how helpful this could be for younger generations as well in inspiring unique and really meaningful career paths. Love it and highly recommend!" — Listener Review
