From Moorea to Magic: Bora Bora Redeems the Trip
Season 4 · Episode 9
mardi 14 avril 2026 • Duration 40:07
In this episode, we’re heading from chaos to calm as Ashley shares the much brighter side of her French Polynesia trip—this time in beautiful Bora Bora. After last week’s wild experience in Moorea, this stay was exactly the reset she needed.
Ashley gives us the full rundown of her time at the stunning The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa, including a few minor bumps at the beginning and why the overall experience more than made up for it. From snorkeling in crystal-clear water to visiting a turtle rehabilitation center, this part of the trip finally delivered those dreamy, bucket-list moments.
She also shares her honest hot takes on the food situation (because yes, it matters a lot at a remote resort like this), along with the one item she really wishes she had packed that would have made the trip even better.
If you’ve been wondering whether Bora Bora lives up to the hype—or how to make the most of a luxury resort stay—this episode is packed with insights, opinions, and a refreshing dose of “this is what it’s really like.”

French Polynesia Gone Wrong: Mold, Missed Tours & a Hostage Situation
Season 4 · Episode 8
mardi 7 avril 2026 • Duration 41:07
In this episode, Ashley is spilling all the tea from her trip to French Polynesia… and let’s just say, it did not go as planned. After choosing it over the Maldives, she shares why she may have some regrets.
What starts off as a dream trip quickly turns into a series of travel mishaps. From a disappointing New Year’s Eve and shockingly expensive in-flight Wi-Fi, to rental car issues upon arrival, things begin to spiral fast. After heading to Moorea, Ashley checks into a Hilton property only to discover mold in her room—and no option to switch due to capacity issues.
But it doesn’t stop there. A missed tour pickup forces her to book a last-minute private excursion that turns into a full-blown nightmare, complete with misleading promises and an unsettling situation involving pressure over a negative review. It’s one of those stories you truly have to hear to believe.
If you’ve ever wondered whether a bucket-list destination is always worth it—or how quickly things can go off the rails—this episode is a wild ride filled with lessons, cautionary tales, and plenty of “you can’t make this up” moments.
