In this episode, We're diving into our time in Amsterdam — the canals, the chaos, the charm — and answering the big question: is it actually worth visiting? (Spoiler alert: yes. Always yes.)

We’ll share what we loved, what surprised us, how it felt visiting with a teen, and a few places that didn’t quite live up to the hype. Plus, fair warning: my Dutch pronunciation is truly tragic — but I powered through for the love of stroopwafels.

So grab your bike (or don’t, we have thoughts), and let’s talk Amsterdam. You can read more about Amsterdam on our website here.

As two Americans living in the Netherlands, we’ve got opinions—and stories—from real life on the road. We cover everything from public transit and shoulder season to drinking tap water and what to wear in churches. It’s fast, fun, and full of travel wisdom.

In this episode, Erin, Lisa, and Dylan sit down to ask each other the real questions about life in Europe—from surprising cultural differences to what they miss (or don’t) about life in the US.

Whether you're dreaming of a move across the pond or already living it, this episode is full of insight, stories, and the occasional “Wait… what?” moment.

Venice is one of those places that never gets old—literally, it’s sinking, but that’s a conversation for another day. In this episode, we dive into our many visits to the floating city, from first-time tourist must-dos to hidden gems we’ve discovered over the years. We reminisce about staying at the legendary Gritti Palace, Lisa’s unexpected gondolier friendship (because, of course, that happened), and the time Erin and Dylan experienced an eerily empty Venice during COVID.

We also chat about the best times to visit (spoiler: not summer), why the Select Spritz beats Aperol, and how Venice is fighting back against overtourism. Plus, we share some incredible local eats, glass-blowing on Murano, and why getting lost in Venice is the best plan you can have.

Grab a drink (preferably a spritz) and join us for a lively, personal, and slightly chaotic deep dive into Venice, Italy.
