Things that shocked me on our trip; Amalfi Coast travel guide revisited

Season 2 · Episode 1

Sunday, August 6, 2023 • Duration 26:51

In this episode, I go over the things that most shocked me on our trip. We talk about everything from costs, mosquitos, to bidets.

We’re back from our trip now, and I’m exhausted, but I cannot wait to keep this show going so we can keep our travel dreams alive.

The second part is a rebroadcast of the Amalfi Coast Episode–my most listened-to episode.

What you need to know before going on your trip. And I give my dos and don'ts of packing for the trip.

This week, I’m recording from Mallorca, Spain. I’m not ready to do a full episode on this great place, so I wanted to address the top question I hear when we talk about our trip: how did you pack?

The first half of the show is all about some of the nuts and bolts of preparing to leave the country, from insurance, to visa planning, to transportation planning itself.

Then, I break down the things we packed that were brilliant, contrasted with the things I packed that were foolish.

And in bloopers, we were finally hit by petty crime!

Spain #1 - Valencia, Spain. Tapas, wine, bull fighting and more in this fantastic, but often-overlooked European city.

This week I’m in Valencia, Spain! This town boasts more than 300 sunny days per year, has tons of arts, architecture, and unique Spanish culture, and is well-worth checking out.

We went to the largest aquarium in Europe called the Centro Aquitico and were impressed. We also explored various markets, parks, and placas where locals and tourists relax and enjoy life. I review the beach, the museum of science, as well as the restaurant and drinking culture of this city.

This is our final country on the trip, and we’re just soaking in this great country and enjoying the final moments of our trip. Thank you for being a part of this special project. We’re not done yet. Also, I admit to paying WAY too much for baklava in the Istanbul airport.

First this week is a trip down memory lane to our London summer trip in 2022. This city is packed with museums, arts, pubs, and beer (my favorite as you know). With a bit of advanced planning, you can get the true London ambiance without the huge pricetag. This week I’ll include some budget tips on transportation, lodging, and what to do here with your kids.

Then, I go to Mont St. Michel. This is the destination I didn’t expect to like as much as I did. There is a specific way I recommend doing this site. Stay tuned to hear our two-day itinerary, and check out this episode of Join Us In France I did all about our France trip.

Westerners need all the help they can get when traveling to this majority Muslim country. In this episode, I cover the basics to get you ready for a trip to Turkey.

We first will cover the food, from Adana Kebabs, to Lamuchans, to Gozlemes, and what are Pides? Are mezzelers a good idea?

Then the drinking culture. These people are crazy about their black “Turk Cay” (pronounced “Chai”). Alcohol is consumed sparingly here, but we cover the basics: Beer, wine, Raki, of course.

Driving in Turkey is pretty easy, but there are some pitfalls and things you should know just like driving in any foreign country.

What is the tipping culture? Public transportation? What are the best places to visit? Is communication a problem? We will cover it all this week, plus a bonus point on the safety of Turkey in lieu of Bloopers.

This week’s throwback episode is a D-day commemoration. On June 6, 1944, the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, and started the six-week Battle of Normandy. We now have so many freedoms thanks to these efforts, and nowhere is this more appreciated than this part of France. Join us for WTD’s remembrance.

Plus, I talk more about Prague, Czech Republic, an enjoyable city. My recent episode on this trip received positive feedback so I decided to dig further into the planning that should go into a trip to this city.

No bloopers this week! I'm sure there will be plenty next week, because, well, it's me.

Italy Throwback - Naples, Capri, Cinque Terre vs. Amalfi Coast

Sunday, June 4, 2023 • Duration 25:40

This week I relived our Italy trip. I'll go back over the stop in Naples, the quick boat to Capri, and why the pinnacle of human existence is jogging on this island. Plus, I reveal my preference: Amalfi Coast or Cinque Terre. This week's Blooper really hurts. If you haven't noticed yet, you'll know for sure now that I'm a true dunce when it comes to travel.
