| Slow Travel & Why-Cations: Is It Time to Stop Chasing the Bucket List? | 05 oct. 2026 | 00:20:44 | |
Everyone’s chasing the bucket list — but what if the best trips are the ones where you actually slow down? In this episode, Morgan and Brianna are getting into the rise of slow travel and the “why-cation”: traveling for a reason, not just to check another destination off your list. We’re talking: • Why we’re so over the city-hopping, 48-hours-in-every-country approach to travel • What slow travel actually means — and why it’s about more than simply staying somewhere longer • The rise of the why-cation and why travelers are choosing trips around purpose, connection, and personal experiences • Fast travel vs. slow travel: when is a whirlwind trip actually worth it? • How to slow down on your next vacation without feeling like you’re “missing out” • Our best slow travel tips, from choosing one neighborhood as your home base to building tiny routines abroad • Why letting yourself have a completely boring day might actually be one of the best things you can do while traveling • Connection over collection: why the memories you make can matter more than the number of passport stamps you collect Whether you’re planning a European vacation, an international trip, a long-term stay abroad, or your next weekend getaway, this episode might convince you to put down the itinerary and stay awhile. The bucket list will always be there. But the version of you who’s actually present for the trip won’t wait forever. • New episodes of The Global Girlfriend drop weekly.

| How Travel Changes You: The Hidden Grief of Outgrowing Your Old Life | 30 juin 2026 | 00:36:17 | |
Have you ever returned home after traveling and felt like you no longer fit into the life you left behind? In this deeply honest episode of The Global Girlfriend, Brianna and Morgan explore one of the least talked-about realities of long-term travel and living abroad: what happens when you outgrow your old life. Travel changes more than your passport stamps—it changes your identity, your priorities, your relationships, and even your definition of home. But what happens when you return to the same streets, the same coffee shops, and the same people… only to realize you're no longer the same person? Together, we discuss the emotional complexity of reverse culture shock, feeling caught between two worlds, maintaining friendships across continents, and navigating the tension between adventure and stability. We also explore the difference between using travel to run away from your problems versus allowing it to become a powerful tool for healing, growth, and self-discovery. Whether you're an expat, digital nomad, international teacher, long-term traveler, or simply someone dreaming of a life abroad, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone in feeling both deeply connected to—and disconnected from—home.
