Season 2! #71: Travel Disasters Part II

I’m back, baby — Season 2 is officially here! 🎙️

It feels so good to have the mic out again after taking a little break to travel (and, honestly, to breathe). To ease back in, I’m picking up right where we left off with Travel Disasters: Part 2 — because let’s be real, the travel chaos never truly ends.

In this episode, I’m talking about all the fun stuff we love to hate: bedbugs, stolen passports, scams, and lost valuables — plus how to avoid them, deal with them, and keep your sanity (and sense of humor) when things go sideways on the road.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever been bitten, scammed, or left wondering why they didn’t just stay home — but knows deep down that even the disasters make the best stories.

✈️ Here’s what I cover:

• Bedbugs and other “small pleasures” 😬

• Pickpockets, stolen passports, and what to do next

• Classic travel scams (and how not to fall for them)

• The realities of staying calm when it all hits the fan

• How to find the bright side — because there is one

So grab your headphones and let’s kick off Season 2 with some painfully relatable (and surprisingly useful) travel tales.
