Solo Travel with Derron

I've been looking for hotels in Athens, Greece, for the past week, and thought I'd share some things I look for when booking hotels overseas.

I discuss these and more issues in this episode.

The U.S. passport office has returned to its pre-Covid-19 response times. So now is a good time to review the U.S. passport process. Also, you'll hear about visas and the various levels of difficulty in getting one. You'll also learn about filling out European forms with the day first, month second, year third. Not like the U.S. month first, etc. Finally, you'll learn about the new European ETIAS requirement that starts in 2022.

Please don’t make the mistake that I made on my first trip to Europe. That was trying to fit everything I own into one huge suitcase. We are guys, we can pack light. In this episode, I talk about what you should pack on an international trip. I talk about the dilemma with shoes, the dilemma with wearing bulky stuff on the plane, and why you should hide a $100 bill somewhere. A bonus in this episode is I discuss whether girls like T-shirts or Suits.
