About this listen
This episode is all about the messy, unfiltered side of travel—the learning experiences I definitely didn't sign up for.
In this solo storytelling moment, I’m pulling back the curtain on a few travel situations that went left and left me drained, stranded, or questioning why I ever booked the trip in the first place. From being stuck in Colombia after deciding to fly standby (during spring break, no less), to traveling with the wrong people—people who made me feel less safe, more annoyed, and completely over it—to dealing with exhausting, poorly paced itineraries that forgot to leave room for rest, this episode is a reminder that every passport stamp isn’t a picture-perfect memory.
I’m breaking down the realities behind the Instagram photos and sharing why I now swear by things like lounge access, a well-balanced itinerary, and hand-selecting the people I travel with. These are stories from the road, but they’re also lessons—some hard-earned and none of them cute in the moment.
If you’ve ever had to regroup in an airport, bite your tongue on a group trip, or recover from a trip that felt more like a marathon than a vacation, this one’s for you.
