Back in the US, I continue to go over my notes and prior podcasts to pull out the useful information. This week, I cover Northern Vietnam, which was a show topic for several weeks last February.
Highlights were Hoi An, Phong Nha, Sa Pa, and Hanoi. If you have any further questions about how to make a trip to Vietnam happen, see my instagram post about the pros and cons of Vietnam. It is sure to guide you in the right direction.
In the second part of the show, I clipped some of the highlights from our trip to Northern Vietnam for a trip down memory lane. From the scooters, to the beer and food costs, and the overall natural and cultural beauty, Vietnam is amazing.

In this episode, I go over the things that most shocked me on our trip. We talk about everything from costs, mosquitos, to bidets.
We’re back from our trip now, and I’m exhausted, but I cannot wait to keep this show going so we can keep our travel dreams alive.
The second part is a rebroadcast of the Amalfi Coast Episode–my most listened-to episode.

This week, I’m recording from Mallorca, Spain. I’m not ready to do a full episode on this great place, so I wanted to address the top question I hear when we talk about our trip: how did you pack?
The first half of the show is all about some of the nuts and bolts of preparing to leave the country, from insurance, to visa planning, to transportation planning itself.
Then, I break down the things we packed that were brilliant, contrasted with the things I packed that were foolish.
And in bloopers, we were finally hit by petty crime!

This week I’m in Valencia, Spain! This town boasts more than 300 sunny days per year, has tons of arts, architecture, and unique Spanish culture, and is well-worth checking out.
We went to the largest aquarium in Europe called the Centro Aquitico and were impressed. We also explored various markets, parks, and placas where locals and tourists relax and enjoy life. I review the beach, the museum of science, as well as the restaurant and drinking culture of this city.
This is our final country on the trip, and we’re just soaking in this great country and enjoying the final moments of our trip. Thank you for being a part of this special project. We’re not done yet. Also, I admit to paying WAY too much for baklava in the Istanbul airport.

First this week is a trip down memory lane to our London summer trip in 2022. This city is packed with museums, arts, pubs, and beer (my favorite as you know). With a bit of advanced planning, you can get the true London ambiance without the huge pricetag. This week I’ll include some budget tips on transportation, lodging, and what to do here with your kids.
Then, I go to Mont St. Michel. This is the destination I didn’t expect to like as much as I did. There is a specific way I recommend doing this site. Stay tuned to hear our two-day itinerary, and check out this episode of Join Us In France I did all about our France trip.

Westerners need all the help they can get when traveling to this majority Muslim country. In this episode, I cover the basics to get you ready for a trip to Turkey.
We first will cover the food, from Adana Kebabs, to Lamuchans, to Gozlemes, and what are Pides? Are mezzelers a good idea?
Then the drinking culture. These people are crazy about their black “Turk Cay” (pronounced “Chai”). Alcohol is consumed sparingly here, but we cover the basics: Beer, wine, Raki, of course.
Driving in Turkey is pretty easy, but there are some pitfalls and things you should know just like driving in any foreign country.
What is the tipping culture? Public transportation? What are the best places to visit? Is communication a problem? We will cover it all this week, plus a bonus point on the safety of Turkey in lieu of Bloopers.

This week’s throwback episode is a D-day commemoration. On June 6, 1944, the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, and started the six-week Battle of Normandy. We now have so many freedoms thanks to these efforts, and nowhere is this more appreciated than this part of France. Join us for WTD’s remembrance.
Plus, I talk more about Prague, Czech Republic, an enjoyable city. My recent episode on this trip received positive feedback so I decided to dig further into the planning that should go into a trip to this city.
No bloopers this week! I'm sure there will be plenty next week, because, well, it's me.

This week I am in Dalyan, Turkey. This area is contains stunning natural beauty. It should be in your sights if you plan to travel to the West Coast of Turkey.
We did a boat trip to several coves and felt at home snorkeling in the Mediterranean ocean. We watched turtles swimming from our riverside after-dinner spot. We soaked in ancient mud baths. We, of course, drank lots of Raki.
There are numerous cove beaches reachable by car. Check out my wife's Instagram account to learn more about these spots.
Plus, in Bloopers, I get a Turkish haircut, complete with the "fire treatment." This was actually on my bucketlist.

This week I am in Datça, Turkey. This is a great beach town on the Mediterranean Sea. It should be in your sights if you plan to travel to the West Coast of Turkey.
I’ll talk about our favorite beach, Kargi. The water here is so salty it shows on your skin, yet it’s very clear and good for snorkeling.
Eating in town means inevitably getting fresh grilled fish. Some of our choices are the Kumluk Cafe and Emik Balik. There are numerous fast food and budget friendly restaurants.
Our favorites are Serin Bahçe Restaurant and Dunya Doner (chain but very good).
When you are in town, let the rhythm of the beach life take over, and enjoy the local wines and almond products.
Take a trip to the Knidos point for Greek history and a lighthouse hike.
WTD has a scary moment while jogging, and the family rubs elbows with the locals at a tea house while playing the local past time.
