HearHere - Here and There

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

Along the Pooka Trail endorses the travel app "HearHere." This smartphone app is a regular part of our travel routine. HearHere offers brief insights of interest about the area through which you're traveling. It knows your location and suggests reports about nearby communities and significant events from their past. Many of these stories explain how events or inventions influenced local culture. Other reports highlight the economic development of an area.

Kevin Costner's HearHere offers a break from the monotony of listening to the radio. It's a helpful companion for those of us who desire something more from our travels—to learn more about what shaped a growing America.

During recent travels through Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia, we listened to insightful commentaries on topics such as nearby Civil War battles or the development of an industry or enterprise that played a part in the formation of a community. Many stories offer a glimpse into the life of an individual whose personal efforts made a difference in shaping this area. The stories are delivered by various narrators and are of a comfortable length that keeps your attention. Frequently, we will exhaust the stories for an area and wish there were more.

Let me recommend you take a look at HearHere and make it one of the tools you use to pass the time but enrich the miles as you travel. Keep surfing, and you'll soon find a discount or a trial offer that will have you hooked. I say "Here, Here" for HearHere. Make it a regular part of your travels, as we do Along the Pooka Trail.
