  • Brazil - Iguazu Falls & Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses
    Jan 20 2026

    Window in Airplane Bathroom (01:37)

    As if by some miracle, we spoke of an airplane bathroom with a window into existence! On our flight to Austin, Texas we were blessed with the airplane bathroom window and let us tell you it lived up to the hype and more! It was pure luxury. Every airplane needs one!

    Iguazu Falls or Parque Nacional dos Lencois Maranhenses (05:55)

    Our Brazil adventure is not silo’d to just Rio! We venture off to Iguazu Falls and Parque Nacional dos Lencois Maranhenses. The question is…which are we most excited for! That is our debate for this week’’s seat pocked

    Iguazu Falls - Fun Facts (11:47)

    If you’ve never heard of Iguazú Falls before, that’s okay. You’re not alone. It doesn’t always get the same instant name recognition as Niagara or Victoria Falls—but once you understand it, Iguazú tends to ruin all other waterfalls for you.

    Parque Nacional dos Lencois Maranhenses - What to Know (23:50)

    Imagine a sea of brilliant white sand dunes stretching as far as the eye can see — like a desert… but with something no desert has: freshwater lagoons that fill with rainwater between the dunes.

    History and Fun Facts about Brazil (34:07)

    Brazil didn’t just happen. It collided into existence.

    Long before Europeans showed up, Brazil was home to millions of Indigenous people, spread across hundreds of cultures and languages. Groups like the Tupi, Guaraní, and Yanomami lived off the land, navigated rivers like highways, and built societies deeply connected to nature. The Amazon wasn’t “discovered” — it was already known, mapped, and lived in.

    What in the World is Beto Carrero World? (45:17)

    Beto Carrero World—a 14-million-square-meter theme park that just surpassed multiple Disney parks in global rankings and is now teasing a roller coaster set to break six world records.

    Yeah. Six.

  • Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
    Jan 13 2026

    🤑 Get Bumped, Get Money (01:34)

    There’s a lot of side hustles out there, but one of the most unique has to be purposely booking oversold flights and getting money to get bumped. While this isn’t a new technique, it’s certainly not one that most people are willing to try.


    🌃 Daytime vs Nighttime (07:47)

    Rio is known for its beautiful beaches, rainforests, and attractions but they also have a nightlife that is simply unmatched. While we’re very much of the mindset that we have to do it all when we’re on a trip, we discuss if we’d prefer daytime or nighttime activities if we could only choose one.


    🇧🇷 Getting Real About Rio (12:20)

    As we pack for our upcoming trip to Rio de Janeiro, we’re giving you everything you need to know! From history and fun facts, to a breakdown of the beach culture, top things to do, and their national food and drinks, we really get into it all.


    🚡 Trains, Planes, and Gondolas? (48:05)

    There’s a new transportation method on the rise (literally) and it’s not what you might think… Gondolas are a quick, reliable, and affordable way for major cities to create a new public transportation route that avoids traffic. We discuss which unexpected city is in the midst of their first gondola, and whether or not these will become all the craze.

  • 2026 Travel Trends & Predictions
    Jan 6 2026

    🔥Travel Sign (01:31)


    Earth, Wind, Fire, Water…yes, all very important elements to Avatar (the blue people and the anime show) but your sign may very well impact the way you prefer to travel! Isn’t all of that star sign and ish just a bunch of fantasy? No! It’s real and it’s fun especially when it comes to their impact on travel!

    ✨ New Years Resolutions (08:50)


    Cliche, classic, lame, exciting whatever you think about New Years Resolutions, on this adventure we embrace it! Because with all travel, you gotta go in with an open mind. Now you’re probably expecting us to say travel more or visit all 7 continents but we have jobs and things sadly cost money so we share a bit about our more lowkey resolutions but of course we had a travel twist


    📍 2026 Top Travel Destinations (15:10)


    Paris is out and Philadelphia is IN! You think that sounds crazy? Well we explain why it makes all the sense in the world. This year we have 5 destinations that will be all over the feeds and timelines. Some of these, you’ll nod your head and say “yup” and others, like Philly, will have you questioning everything you knew.


    🧳 2026 Travel Predictions (26:39)


    We nailed the 2025 Travel Predictions (some may say we are experts) so we’re back with our 2026 travel predictions! Is this the year RVs make a comeback? Maybe everyone is heading off to Maine, or perhaps the sail is the vessel of the year. Well we both have picks we are almost guaranteed to be all the rage!


    🌎 2026 Travel Headlines (33:20)


    If you thought 2025 was packed full of travel stories and news, well yeah it was, but 2026 is already shaping up to be one epic sequel! From new amusement parks, to changes at the National Parks to a country reshaping your desire to travel, the year ahead (that we know of) will be one fun adventure
