Hello and welcome back to Johncast — the English podcast for curious minds and eager beavers (that’s someone who’s keen to study or work hard).

Today, we’re going global. We’ll explore the top travel trends of 2025, the destinations everyone’s talking about, and a few hidden gems you might not have considered. Along the way, I’ll highlight natural English expressions linked to travel and culture to help you speak more confidently.

Then, in the second half — pun intended — we’ll unpack that vocabulary together. Grab a notebook or just sit back and enjoy.
