The Abroad Pod Nicole Rosania

Ep. 15: Happy Wednesday! Welcome back to The Abroad Pod, your go-to podcast for all things abroad! I'm your host Nicole and today's episode is actually the season finale for season 2. I wrapped season 1 with 15 episodes and decided to do the same with season 2.  I will be working on a season 3 at some point (I can't imagine putting my mic away for good!!!), but am going to take a nice long break for now to focus on my blog, work, and some fun summer plans!

In today's episode I cover some life updates and share a very exciting announcement! This announcement is a new goal I'll be working towards, and is some podcast-exclusive information! I haven't shared this plan on social or my blog yet, but I will soon. I wrap up this episode with a short travel Q&A to answer some of YOUR questions about packing best practices, the world of SEO and digital marketing, and more. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has tuned in to one of my episodes and has left a review. It means the world! Talk soon! -Nicole

Ep. 14: Happy Wednesday! Welcome back to another episode of The Abroad Pod! I’m your host Nicole and today I’m joined by yet another guest for another Abroad Series episode. The Abroad Series is a series I started last season to showcase different abroad programs and experiences around the world. I’m so excited for this week’s episode because today I’m sitting down with Gab! Today Gab is going to share her experience teaching abroad in China. Not only did Gab live and work in Shanghai, she worked for Walt Disney! She also happened to be in China at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, so I have a TON of questions for her. I’m so excited to hear about Gab’s story today and hope you all are too. This episode is definitely a unique one. Without further ado, let’s meet Gab!

The Abroad Series is a series I started last season to showcase different abroad programs and experiences around the world. I’m so excited for this week’s episode because today I’m sitting down with Meli, a recent college graduate from Washington State. Meli’s story is a super unique one. Growing up in a military family, Meli spent 11 years of her life living abroad. She’s lived in 6 countries total: the US, Japan, Indonesia, Italy, Bahrain, and Ecuador!

Ep. 12:  Hey guys and welcome back to another episode of The Abroad Pod, your go-to podcast for all things abroad. I’m your host Nicole and today’s episode is going to be another Abroad Series. The Abroad Series is a series I started last season where I bring on different guests to showcase abroad programs and experiences around the world. I’m so so so excited for this week’s episode because today I’m sitting down with Lexie Alford, the Guinness World Record Holder for being the Youngest Person in the World to Visit Every Country! As you guys know, I am the Social Director for Serengetee, an e-commerce travel brand, and we were thrilled to work with Lexie back in December during one of our gift with purchase promotions. Lexie and I have stayed in touch and I’m so honored that she’s joining me today on my podcast. Lexie is a 22-year-old, Northern California native who has visited all 196 countries. She managed to do this by the age of 21, winning the world record by a landslide! Today Lexie is going to share her journey with us and provide some insight on how she managed to pull off the adventure of a lifetime.

Ep. 11: Hey There! Today's episode breaks down the differences between Airbnbs vs. Hotels vs. Hostels in terms of cost, safety, what's included, and more. I discuss various hotel types to educate you all on which choice may be the best for your next vacation! I also share why hostels are my preferred accommodation choice, and a fun story or two about some of the roommates I've had. I also cover the benefits and disadvantages of staying in one or another. At the end of the episode we travel to Estonia for this week's destination segment! Estonia is a hidden gem of a country with a population of only one million. I promise you'll want to add this Baltic country to your bucket list. As always, please take one moment and leave me a rating or review on Apple Podcasts! Your support means the world.

Ep. 10: Hey Hey Hey! This week is another solo episode led by your host (that's me!), Nicole. In today's episode, I walk you all through exactly how to create a blog and podcast. If you're here to learn about podcasting, skip to about the 25 minute mark. I spend the first 25 minutes of the episode discussing exactly how to set up a blog, from picking a domain name, purchasing a theme, creating a Wordpress account, finding a host, and most importantly, how to write high-quality, engaging content that actually provides value to your readers! The second half of the episode focuses on all things podcasting, covering my recommended microphone, editing program, and host. At the very end of the episode, we travel across the pond to England, learning about the differences between the UK and Great Britain, along with what to do in London. As always, feel free to DM me questions on Instagram @nicole.rosania. Enjoy!
