Recent detentions at US borders have led the UK, Germany, and Nordic nations to update their travel advice. These updates inform citizens that holding valid travel authorisation like a visa or ESTA does not guarantee entry into the US. The warnings follow incidents of European travellers being detained or denied entry, attributed to stricter US immigration enforcement. Denmark and Finland have specifically cautioned transgender and non-binary individuals about potential entry issues due to the US government's stance on gender markers. Travellers are now advised to carry extra documentation and be prepared for thorough questioning upon arrival in the US. These revised advisories reflect growing European concern over the increased rigidity of US border controls. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Ocean House owner and author Deborah Goodrich Royce for a conversation with authors Moya Hession-Aiken and Elizabeth Birkelund, who will discuss their books Shoulder and A Northern Light in Provence. Refreshments will  About Moya Hession- Aiken: Moya Hession- Aiken studied art at Manchester Polytechnic (now Manchester University) and the Central School of Art and Design (now Central St. Martins), graduating with a first class honors degree in textile design before moving to New York to work in the garment industry. However, before too long she was working for MTV earning an Emmy Award for her work as a paintbox artist. At MTV she met her future husband, producer Bill Aiken. They had a son, Liam, in 1990, a few years before Bill's tragic death. She lives in Connecticut and pursues her work as a fine artist, exhibiting frequently. About Shoulder: Growing up a headstrong Irish Catholic girl in a notoriously tough housing estate in Northern England, Moya has just one goal-to live a rich creative life in America. Shoulder tells the story of the riotous and hilarious path from her boisterous but warm family back home to her education in London and her escape to New York in the 1980s where she finds everything she's looking for–exciting jobs in the fashion industry and later at MTV–but where she also meets the man of her dreams, only to lose him to cancer following the birth of their son. Told in a voice that is equal parts Alan Bennett and Frank McCourt, this is a story about the thrill of taking chances and the unbearable pain of loss, as well as a profound meditation on what it takes to survive and what it means to care for others. About Elizabeth Birkelund: Elizabeth graduated from the Hewitt School in New York City, from Brown University with honors in Comparative literature, and from the Radcliffe Publishing Program. After college, she worked for a literary agent and was a member of the editorial staff for a start-up magazine, European Travel and Life. She began her fifteen-year freelance writing career as a monthly personal finance columnist for Cosmopolitan magazine, and has written for over fifteen publications, including The Runaway Wife, Glamour, Self, Working Woman, Victoria, and her first novel: The Dressmaker. She lives in New York City. About A Northern Light in Provence: Ilse Erlund is a translator who lives in a house on stilts along the west coast of Greenland. Isolated and restless in her world by the sea, she convinces her publisher to pay for a trip to the country she has never visited but whose language she speaks fluently: France. Her mission is to translate the verses of Geoffrey “Po” Labaye, a charismatic poet known as “the last living troubadour of Provence.” Upon arrival in the medieval hilltop village of Belle Rivière, Ilse falls under the spell of the Provençal way of life, captivated by the air, the sun, the vibrant spring colors, and the dulcet sounds of the dialect. Soon enough, Ilse is captivated by the poet, too, and she and Po develop a daily rhythm and warm camaraderie—which is disrupted by the arrival of the poet's son, Frey. Though he has a fiancée back in Paris, Frey turns his attentions to Ilse, and suddenly she is forced to learn another language, one her translation skills have not prepared her to decode. Where—and with whom—does her future lie? With an eye and ear attuned to the sensibilities of French life, Elizabeth Birkelund has created a love story about a woman forced to choose between the security of her quiet northern home and the possibility of the life of her dreams.

For most people, Portugal brings to mind images of “white sand beaches” and “incredible wine.” And it's true, the country isn't known for stereotypical white Christmases. But that doesn't mean the Portuguese don't take the holiday seriously. Very. Seriously. In fact, it's arguably the biggest holiday of the year. But what exactly makes Christmas in Portugal so special, and what exactly is a traditional Portuguese Christmas? Catarina has the answers for you. Some you might expect - incredible food, heavy on the cod - but many will surprise you. And who knows, by the time you've finished this festive episode, you may even have adopted some new traditions yourself.--- Planning a trip to Portugal?

Join us for an international travel episode as co-Host Scott Markus & his wife headed to Portugal and visit the most famously haunted location in Portugal & visit a city that has a long mystical connection to folklore and witchcraft.

Catarina is off dreaming up and making fresh episodes of A Portuguese Affair to help you fall in love with the country she calls home. But, not wanting to leave her listeners hanging, she's sharing an episode of fellow Cerca show, Passport. What started with a simple prompt to the Passport team, “Let's do an episode in Portugal,” soon became so much more. Enjoy!--- Portugal's Douro Valley is one of the toughest places on the planet to grow wine. Steep, terraced hills, treacherous river rapids, and blistering hot summers are a sharp contrast to the rolling hills of Spain's Rioja or the Cypress-lined country roads of Tuscany. And yet, the Douro is actually the oldest demarcated wine region in the world. And even though a vine plague in the 1800s nearly wiped out every vineyard in the region, the Douro survived.That's because the people here are famed for their resilience and ability to repeatedly outsmart nature, no matter what it throws at them. And that goes double for the women. In fact, it was one of the valley's daughters that saved wine in the region. Who are these remarkable women? What makes the Douro Valley, and its world-class wine scene, so special?And will the threat of climate change - and now Covid - finally be their undoing?Passport's Jennifer Carr invites you to open a bottle and discover a place for wine lovers, warriors, and the women who are changing the face of winemaking - one glass at a time.--- Planning a trip to Portugal?

Given how much there is to see and do - not to mention taste - in Downtown Lisbon, it's easy to understand why some people don't ever venture further afield.

There is history everywhere you look in Downtown Lisbon. Portugal's capital is an ancient city after all - four centuries older than Rome. On its streets, entire swaths of history co-exist. Roman ruins from 300AD next to more modern structures from the 1800s. And nineteenth century buildings with basements that hold the ruins of structures from the 1500s. Lisbon was shaped by an almost unimaginable natural disaster - the earthquake, fire, and tsunami of 1775. But Lisbon bounced back - as it would, repeatedly, over the centuries - each time stronger and better.Today, Lisbon is in the midst of yet another renaissance. World class food, art, entertainment, culture, plus ancient and proud history, are on display everywhere. From the iconic must-dos like Praça do Comércio, Castelo de São Jorge, and Alfama, to Catarina's hidden gems and secret spots. Lisbon is the first place Catarina ever loved - and after hearing this episode, you'll understand why.--- Planning a trip to Portugal?

30 minutes outside of Lisbon, situated in the hills of the Serra de Sintra, is a place of majestic forests, magnificent palaces, resplendent villas, and so much more. Sintra has been casting its spell on visitors for centuries. Famous English poet Lord Byron once called it a “glorious Eden,” and said that it was one of the most beautiful villages in the world. And Catarina tends to agree. In Sintra, you feel transported to another time and place - somewhere that sits between reality and a dream.In this Episode, Catarina takes you on a guided tour of one of Portugal's most special places, and tells you everything you need to know: about where to stay and eat, what to see and how best to see it - to fall under this magical town's spell yourself. --- Planning a trip to Portugal?

This month, Tiffany took her first solo (non-work-related) trip since becoming a mom almost 8 years ago! (What took her so long?) We reflect on the thoughts and realizations that came to her during this much-needed weekend get-away, specifically why she thinks it's vital that every mom take at least one trip away from her family every year. ------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.

In 1784, Thomas Jefferson was a broken man. Reeling from the loss of his wife and humiliated from a political scandal during the Revolutionary war, he needed to remake himself. And to do that, he traveled. Traipsing through Europe, Jefferson saw and learned as much as he could, ultimately bringing his knowledge home to a young America. He wrote a travelogue called “Hints to Americans Traveling in Europe.”Jefferson documented his trip in order to educate the infant nation on cutting-edge techniques in agriculture and architecture. He included sketches of buildings with Roman domes and columns, which he thought should be incorporated into America's buildings to celebrate one of the ancient world's greatest democracies. But he also indulged in European luxury and spent a gilded carriage's worth on wine, ivory-handled knives, and porcelain statuettes, and (most odd) an organ for teaching songs to birds. More than two hundred years later, Derek Baxter, a devotee of American history, decided to follow in his footsteps and see what he could learn from the Founding Father. Baxter is today's guest and author of “In Pursuit of Jefferson: Traveling Through Europe With the Most Perplexing Founding Father.” He stumbled on Jefferson's travelogue and used it as a roadmap, embarking on a new journey, following Jefferson to the same French wineries and rivers, even eating period-accurate food at Monticello. The goal was to figure out how to make sense of Jefferson and the multitude of contradictions in his life, the most debated being that he was a slaveholder who also wrote a world-historical testament to freedom. This is an unflinching look at a founding father, and a moving personal journey. We explore how we can be better moving forward only by first looking back.
