This broadcast is a favorite legacy show that we produced under our old name Travel'n On and before re-branding as WORLD FOOTPRINTS. We travel to Curacao to explore the rich African heritage and culture that continues to influence the culture of the island today. Curacao, the "C" in the ABC islands, offers historical towns, untamed fields, and lots of outdoor recreation. (The other islands that up the westernmost islands of the Leeward Antilles are Aruba and Bonaire.) Willemstad, the capital and largest city of Curacao, resembles an Old World European metropolis that has been plopped in the Caribbean. Dutch colonial structures with vibrant colours reflect pinks, yellows, and blues into the emerald St. Anna Bay. Its charming pastel buildings and equally colorful history earned it recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage City. Here, you can choose between a difficult wall dive and a shallow snorkelling area. Of course, beaches are [...]

We travel around the world with travel journalist Johnny Jet (John DiScala). He joins us to also talk about the hottest travel sites. Connecticut was Johnny's birthplace, and he remained there until he was 21. From an early age, he was fascinated by flying. Johnny tried to board a flight to Australia when he was 17 years old, but turned around at the gate when a doctor told him he had asthma, prescribed him entirely too much medication, and warned him that he "may have a problem breathing on a plane because the cabin is pressurised." One of his worst days ever occurred on that day. He avoided flying for three and a half years. He was 21 and anxious, so he stopped taking the majority of his [...]

Baltimore, Maryland has a number of unique attractions that showcase African-American culture and contributions in America. Nancy Hinds from the Baltimore Convention and Visitor's Bureau joins our show to share the city's interesting treasures. The city's residents have long been on the front lines of the struggle for civil rights and equality. It is hardly surprising that the city has been at the core of black culture given the sizeable African American population. Along the renowned "Chitlin' Circuit," Pennsylvania Avenue was a stop known for its jazz and theatre. Some of America's most significant musicians, such as pianist, were raised here.
