    Souvenir: Teachers and Travel

    This week we revisit one of our episodes about teachers and travel. We take a look at all the ways teachers use travel, from expanding the boundaries of the classroom and developing their own skills, to - as our guest Cheria Funches of Black Teachers Travel puts it - engaging in self care.

    Souvenir: Retirement Travel

    We continue with our trip down memory lane by revisiting our conversation with Alison and Don, a couple who set out on a trip around the world in their sixties. We talk about why they decided to do it, the lessons they learned on the road, and what advice they have for couples who want to travel together without drifting apart.

    Souvenir/Postcard: Travel with Kids

    Now that summer travel season is kicking back into gear for the first time in years, we thought we’d dig through our archives to bring you some early, pre-pandemic podcast content to stoke your nostalgia and wanderlust. We’re calling this series “souvenirs,” as a reminder of where we’ve been and how lucky we’ve been to be able to wander the earth and share our stories with you. First up is our episode on the idea of traveling with kids. What makes it so hard to plan? What makes for a meaningful trip that still has something fun for everyone?

    Episode 64: Travel Hacks & Shifting Guidelines

    In this episode Shannon and Tamara talk about one of the enduring challenges when it comes to traveling to Europe -  flights that land hours (and hours) before we can check into our accomodations - and a genius workaround that helps get everyone off to a fresh start.  They also commisserate about the challenge of keeping track of all the shifting guidelines, which can make for confusing and conflicting experiences even in the space of a single airport.

    Episode 63: Travel Tropes to Toss, Keep, and Rethink

    In this episode we talk about overused travel tropes. Which ones do we need to toss out (hint: it ends with "-moon")? Which ones are worth keeping, or perhaps rethinking for the way we live and travel now?

    Episode 62: Do Tourist Traps Get a Bad Rap?

    It seems like every piece of travel advice we come across these days tells us to avoid the dreaded "tourist trap." But what's so bad about these sorts of places? And why are we so dismissive of them? In this episode, Shannon and Tamara try to get to the bottom of it, and offer up a more flexible set of rules for having the best travel experience possible.

    Episode 61: What Does it Mean to be Well Traveled?

    In this episode Shannon and Tamara tackle a pressing question: what does it mean to be well traveled? Is it about the number of stamps on your passport or a slightly more complex formula?  Also, join us as we end up dissecting the most expensive, luxurious, and downright outrageous trip offering we've ever come across: Four Seasons Private Jet Excurions (https://www.fourseasons.com/privatejet/).

    Episode 60: New Year, Old Problems

    In this episode we talk about how we've started out the new year aware of the old problems related to traveling in our current reality. At the same time, that awareness has forced us to become travel and destination experts in ways we're trying to embrace.
