In this Listener Q&A episode, I'm answering a great question from Susan: What's the best type of accommodation for a trip to Europe? From hotels and guest houses to apartments, cottages, and even hostels, the answer isn't one-size-fits-all. It really depends on your travel style, budget, length of stay and who you're traveling with. I share some practical guidelines to help you decide when a hotel makes the most sense (especially in bigger cities), when a B&B or guest house can give you that more local feel, and why apartments or self-catering stays can be ideal for groups, families or longer visits.I also talk about finding locally owned places using regional booking sites and tourism boards.And I remind you to think about where your travel dollars go. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple or with a group, this short, info-packed episode will help you choose accommodations that fit your trip.And maybe even make it more memorable.Note: These Listener Q&A episodes don't have a companion blog post, so you'll only find this one in your favorite podcast app. Happy listening!Important links:Accommodation in Europe • Types & TipsListener Question FormWander Your Way AdventuresWander Your WayWander Your Way Resources ★ Support this podcast ★

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Warsaw, Poland The FAQ is: "How do I decide when it's time to pay more for comfort or safety instead of pushing myself?" Budget travel advice is common; guidance on when frugality stops being smart for aging bodies is not. This is a silent tension for senior solo travelers. Answer:  ​​Here's the truth: saving money is never worth arriving exhausted, stressed, or injured. As we get older, comfort becomes a strategy, not a luxury. I ask myself one simple question: Will this choice give me more energy tomorrow? If the answer is no, I upgrade — whether that's a better seat, a closer hotel, or a taxi instead of public transit. Smart travel means spending where it preserves your strength and confidence, not proving how tough you still are.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today is to set up your phone to access your essential private information while keeping it secure.   Do you have the numbers saved somewhere easy to access? You should. If you're traveling anytime soon, you'll need this. I created a spreadsheet with all of my important information, hidden and password-protected. I don't save it all in one place, though. Be aware that nothing is completely secure, even writing something down on paper can be lost. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into passwords, privacy, security, and the confidence it takes to travel solo as a woman in her prime. See Book A for addressing this concern about being solo and being secure. I traveled around the world solo for 90 days twice, so I needed this confidence and access. Find it at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's special destination is Warsaw, Poland  Today we're exploring Warsaw, Poland — a city of contrasts, where modern glass towers rise beside meticulously restored baroque palaces. For the solo woman traveler over 50, Warsaw offers culture, history, and accessibility that make it both inspiring and comfortable. Warsaw's sidewalks are wide and level, and public trams and buses are largely low-floor and wheelchair-accessible. English is spoken in most hotels, restaurants, and museums. Be mindful of the weather — summer can be warm, but spring and fall are ideal for sightseeing. Wear comfortable shoes, carry a light wrap, and take your time. On my visit….Here is my travelogue: I am at the train station, and I got here too early, so my train isn't on the board yet. It leaves in about 30 minutes, and the station is busy. I am in Warsaw, Poland. I arrived here yesterday on the train from Kraków, arranged to take a second train to the suburbs, and was met by Sophie, who hosted me last night. She made a lovely dinner for her family, including me, and then we went into the city and explored all the sights. We walked for two hours through Old Town, saw all the essential city buildings and statues, and also explored the university area. I liked it very much.  My first comment is that it's very green. It's flat, and the people are kind and respectful; they are all white. I have not seen any black people at all in this country; I've seen a few Asians, but otherwise, everybody is pretty much the same, and it's been enjoyable. There are so many famous people from Warsaw that I didn't know about, and I don't remember the names of many of the renowned scholars, mayors, presidents, and people who died in a plane crash in 2010, but there's a lovely statue to them.  I do know the musical legend Chopin, so he left a legacy here, including his heart, which is buried in a chapel in one of the cathedrals, so I thought that was a pretty interesting, fun fact. Why Visit Warsaw? Because it's a city that has reinvented itself without losing its soul, from royal castles to modern art, Warsaw welcomes solo travelers who appreciate resilience, beauty, and freedom. Exploring Warsaw's Historic Heart Begin your day in the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rebuilt brick by brick after World War II. The Castle Square (Plac Zamkowy) and the Royal Castle are primarily flat and wheelchair-friendly, with ramps and elevators available inside. The cobblestone streets can be uneven, but many sections have smoother side paths and level crossings. Stroll or roll along Krakowskie Przedmieście, or Suburb street, one of the most beautiful boulevards in Europe, lined with cafés, bookshops, and historic churches. Stop by the Church of St. Anne, where there's ramp access to the main sanctuary. Krakowskie Przedmieście is pronounced roughly as Krah-KOF-skyeh Psheh-DMYES-cheh, with the stress on the third syllable (KOF) and a soft 'ś' (sh-sound) at the end, meaning "Kraków Fore-town". Polish vowels are crisp, the 'w' often sounds like 'v', and 'sz' is a 'sh' sound, making it sound melodic yet distinct.  https://travel.usnews.com/Warsaw_Poland/Things_To_Do/Krakow_Suburb_Street_Krakowskie_Przedmiescie_63801/   For lunch, try traditional Polish fare at Zapiecek, where you can sample pierogi in a cozy, accessible setting. On my next trip to Warsaw, here are a few things I would do or do again. Visit the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews — one of Warsaw's most acclaimed museums. It's fully accessible, with elevators, wide galleries, and English-language audio guides. The interactive exhibits tell a 1,000-year story of Jewish life in Poland, and it's both educational and deeply moving. End your day in the Saxon Garden (Ogród Saski), one of Warsaw's oldest parks. Its paved paths, fountains, and shaded benches make it ideal for a restful stroll or quiet reflection before dinner. Start at Łazienki Park, a vast royal garden known for its graceful pathways and friendly peacocks. Wheelchair users can easily access the main lanes and enjoy views of the lake. Don't miss the Palace on the Isle, which offers accessible tours upon request, and look for the Chopin Monument — often the site of free outdoor concerts in summer. Next, head to the Warsaw Uprising Museum, dedicated to the 1944 resistance movement. The museum is fully wheelchair-accessible, with ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms. It's a powerful look at the courage of Warsaw's citizens and a reminder of the city's indomitable spirit. For lunch or a break, stop at Hala Koszyki, a trendy food hall filled with accessible dining spaces, local Polish dishes, and people-watching opportunities. If you enjoy classical music, consider a Chopin recital at one of the small concert halls around the city center — many offer accessible seating and ramps. Travel Tips for the Solo 50+ Traveler: Warsaw's sidewalks are wide and level, and public trams and buses are largely low-floor and wheelchair-accessible. English is spoken in most hotels, restaurants, and museums. Be mindful of the weather — summer can be warm, but spring and fall are ideal for sightseeing. Wear comfortable shoes, carry a light wrap, and take your time. Why Visit Warsaw? Because it's a city that has reinvented itself without losing its soul, from royal castles to modern art, Warsaw welcomes solo travelers who appreciate resilience, beauty, and freedom. Here are some of my observations about Warsaw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BjIYKq4CVk oise.com/poland/is-warsaw-worth-visiting/ https://passport-for-living.com/weekend-in-warsaw-travel-guide/ https://www.warsawuprising.org/media/wu44_1.mp4   My missteps: Don't worry about what you can't control.   I got a message from Finnair that my flight to Finland was likely to be cancelled. I was in Poland, and the connection wasn't very easy. There aren't many flights from Gdansk to Helsinki, Finland. So, I was a bit concerned. However, fate smiled upon me that day. I was able to get to where I wanted and no delays. I was the only Finnair flight out of the airport that day because of a strike. However, I went, and it went well.

That's right. Even if you have a partner, I want you to read this blog post because there are definite advantages and challenges to traveling solo. Even if you think, "There is no way I would ever travel solo, " please read on with an open mind. You might change your mind. I'll be interviewing three solo travelers about the challenges and joys of traveling solo. Since I usually travel solo myself, you'll hear my two cents' worth as well. It's a great show. Even if you think, "No way, I could never travel solo, " I beg you, please read on and see if you don't change your mind. If you're like me, you don't want to live an ordinary life. You want to live a kick-ass life, and one way to do so is to add adventure travel to your life. I find adventure travel brings out the best in me. It challenges me, it encourages me, it enlightens me, and it inspires me to lead a bigger life. On this program, you'll learn about amazing adventures from around the world plus get the tools and information you need so you can do these adventures with confidence. You'll come home feeling empowered and with amazing memories and stories you can relive forever. Don't worry—the bar is such that my relatively fit 58-year-old body, particularly with some training, can do these adventures, and you can too. This episode is a roundup episode. I've got three guests that I will be interviewing separately about their experiences with solo travel. Our first guest is Jackie Norris, who we met on one of our episodes. She is the host of Traveling Jackie and The Budget-Minded Traveler and has been traveling solo for a long time. She has a ton of insights to share with us. When I interviewed her in Quebec, I asked her casually about solo travel. We got so engrossed in it that I decided to take that section of our interview and add it to this solo episode. Our other guests are Monica and Jason. I'll let them introduce themselves. Let's start with my interview with Jackie. Jackie Norris Interview Kit: Jackie, why do you travel solo? Jackie: The reason I do solo travel is that I'm solo. I don't let that stop me. For years and years, a lot of people struggle with the idea of getting out on their own. It's a necessity for me. It's what I have to do, and so I do it. I never thought I would enjoy it, but I do love it now. You have to get to a point where you're comfortable with it. I'd already been traveling for a number of years by the time I went fully solo nomadic a few years ago. Even after that much time of being comfortable traveling, it was weird to be on my own all the time.For the cons, you are by yourself. All of those travel decisions are made only by you. Even where you're going to eat for breakfast or whether you're going to get a beer in the afternoon—everything is solely up to you. There's no one you can confer with. That also happens to be one of the advantages. Sometimes it depends on which perspective you have. Maybe it depends on the day. Sometimes it's amazing, and sometimes you wish there was someone there. Loneliness is a real thing. I have written about that before, and most solo travelers will face real loneliness. It's not just the point of being solo in a place—it's feeling alone. There's a big difference, and that can get to you if it lasts a while. I traveled for months at a time, and it can get draining to be alone. At the same time, this is where I am in my life, and this is what I'm signing up for. This is also my work, and this is what I'm choosing to do. It's part of the territory if you look at it that way. The freedom that solo travel provides is unmatched. There is a feeling that comes with being on your own in some far-flung corner of the planet, completely left to yourself and your own thoughts. What you want to do for the day—everything is your will. It is the most freeing feeling ever. It's incredible. You can do whatever you want. There are definitely pros and cons of solo travel. I always encourage people to at least try it out because you get to know yourself very quickly. Even if you think you know yourself, you don't—not until you solo travel. You see what you're capable of and what your weaknesses are. It's an incredible tool for life to solo travel. Everyone should do it at least once. Kit: You had a quote in The Budget-Minded Traveler episode number 63 that I loved: "Lose yourself until you find yourself. " Could you talk a little bit about that? Jackie: It gave me chills when you read it. That came from a piece that I wrote on my Traveling Jackie blog. It was when I decided to leave everything behind and go out on my own to travel the world solo for real for the first time. This was many years after having traveled a whole bunch already and studying abroad and all that. This was different because I had a relationship, I had a house, and I had all these things. I felt very lost at times because I had to recreate what my life looked like. That was my moment to decide what my new normal was going to be going forward. I did lose part of myself there in a good way though. It's like you have to go see what the world has for you and then figure out what you look like in that new normal. Figure out what the path forward is in this new reality that you've created. That's at least how it applied to me. It depends on what your situation is and why you're choosing to solo travel. So much about experience outwardly when you travel has to do with what's going on inside. That was my experience at the time. I totally went out and lost myself until I started to rebuild and find what it meant to start over. Kit: It's obvious that travel in general and solo travel in particular changed your life.Jackie: I'm grateful for that because I feel so much surer of who I am. I'm so much stronger now. I have so much more confidence. These are the things that come with being on your own for so long in a place. It's not being on your own at home where you're comfortable and you know the name of the store owner down the street. Everything is different—foreign languages, foreign currency, borders, flights, hotels. Everything is a challenge. When you add that element to being completely on your own for a long time, maybe for the first time, it changes everything. Your personal growth is expedited more than anything. "The world outside of your comfort zone is not a place to invite fear. It's a place to invite curiosity. " Kit: Since I lost my husband, I've been traveling solo. The question I get over and over again is about safety. How do you deal with safety concerns? Jackie: Are you not afraid of those things at home? Bad things can happen anywhere. It doesn't matter where you are. In fact, the U.S. these days could be less safe than a lot of other places I travel. I don't dwell on that stuff. I have some tricks up my sleeve to make sure I'm safe and my belongings are safe. I pay attention. Common sense is your best defense. Don't leave your common sense behind when you walk out the door. Go explore the world outside your comfort zone. It's not about fear and safety—it's about adventure, life, growth, people, connection, culture, food, language, activity, and beauty. That outweighs the fear. Monica Aranguren Interview Kit: Can you introduce yourself and tell us your age? Monica: I'm Monica Aranguren, and I am 58 years old. Kit: How did you get into adventure travel? Monica: Quite honestly, I found myself single again around 2007 or 2008. I started hiking on my own. When I turned 50, I decided I wanted to do something bigger and planned a trip to New Zealand. Kit: Was that your first adventure trip? Monica: Yes. I didn't want to leave adventure behind. Kit: How did you make the mindset shift to go on your own?Monica: so I went. I've been independent all my life. I wasn't waiting for life to happen to me. I wanted to see these places, Kit: Did you go solo or with a company? Monica: The New Zealand trip was with Active Adventures. I've made many trips like that since. Solo travel lets you expand a little bit more in getting out of the box. You meet people you wouldn't meet otherwise. I don't really see many cons—except I always choose a single room so I can sleep! I've always felt safe. On guided trips, you're surrounded by your group. On self-guided trips, I had GPS, instructions, and 24-hour support. I always felt supported. Loneliness happens occasionally, especially on self-guided hikes, but overall it hasn't been an issue. It empowers me. When I get back, I think, "I did that. " That confidence carries into real life. Jason Waitkins Interview Kit: Can you introduce yourself? Jason: My name is Jason Waitkins, and I am 37. Kit: How did you get into adventure travel? Jason: My first trip was in 2003 to New Zealand. I wanted to hike. That was the driver. I grew up next to the Appalachian Trail and hiked sections near my home in the Hudson Valley. Solo travel is easier to coordinate. I go when I want. If no one else wants to go, I go anyway. Safety is always a consideration. I research countries, crime, and logistics. Awareness is key. I use common sense, just like I would anywhere else. I once got injured hiking solo in Acadia National Park and had to be carried out. That experience reinforced the value of group travel for certain adventures. Using tour companies removes logistical stress and adds safety. Solo travel hasn't dramatically changed who I am, but it keeps me going. I want to keep visiting places and hiking everywhere I can. Final Thoughts and Solo Travel RulesWhen I travel solo, I make rules for myself: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● I know where I'm staying by noon I arrive before dark I watch my food and drink I'm cautious of overly friendly strangers I use official taxis or rideshare services I trust my instincts I always have an exit plan Someone knows where I'm going If you're not sure solo travel is for you, try a weekend trip. Then try a week. Build confidence gradually. In all my travels, I've never had a serious incident. You heard the same from our guests. If you want to help shape future adventures, reach out to me by email or on social media. Until next time, this is Kit Parks—adventure on. (C) Active Travel Adventures, LLC - All Rights Reserved

Initial impressions of a new city are distorted by jet lag, disorientation, and comparison to where you just left. Give a place at least two to three weeks before deciding how you feel about it. ∙ Have connectivity before you land. Get an eSIM (Airalo, Holafly, etc.) sorted before arrival. You'll need it for navigation, translation, and emergency communication — not later, immediately. ∙ Slow down more than you think you should. One-month minimums transform a place from a sightseeing checklist into somewhere you actually live. That's when the real experience starts. Three months is even better. ∙ Build routines within 48 hours. Find your workspace, gym, coffee spot, and morning rhythm fast. Freedom without structure turns into aimless drift and anxiety. Routine is what makes the lifestyle sustainable. ∙ Make your banking bulletproof. Get a no-foreign-fee, ATM-reimbursing account like Schwab or Wise. Always carry a backup card on a different network in a separate bag. Getting locked out of money abroad happens to everyone. ∙ Learn three meals you can cook anywhere. Eating out every meal for months wrecks your budget and your health. A stir-fry, a grain bowl, and eggs-with-whatever using local ingredients will save you thousands a year. ∙ Handle your taxes proactively. Your home country likely still wants its money, especially if you're American. FEIE, self-employment tax, state residency — get an expat-specialized tax professional before there's a problem. ∙ Prioritize sleep gear over everything else. Noise-canceling headphones, silicone earplugs, and a solid sleep mask matter more than any backpack or gadget. Your ability to sleep anywhere determines your quality of life on the road. ∙ The loneliness comes in waves — plan for it. It's not an if, it's a when. Schedule regular calls with close friends, use coworking spaces, join group activities. Don't pretend you're above needing human connection. ∙ Know your monthly burn rate. Track what you actually spend across different tiers of city. Knowing how long you can sustain your current pace is the difference between freedom and quiet financial panic.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #travel #travelblogger #nomad #digitalnomad #podcast #solotravel

From Vacation Mode to Purpose-Driven TravelLike many of us, Ting Ting didn't always travel with intention. Early trips were about fun, escape, and ticking destinations off a list. But over time, something shifted. Nature-based experiences, cultural immersion, and meaningful connections started to matter more than luxury or convenience.She describes herself as a traveler who lives between extremes — sometimes deeply planned, sometimes wildly spontaneous. And honestly? That balance is part of the magic. Whether it's booking a flight last-minute or committing to a long retreat-style journey, Ting Ting believes travel should feel alive, not scripted.“Traveling should be about connection and purpose.”  What It's Really Like Traveling as a Retreat LeaderTraveling solo is one thing. Traveling as a retreat leader is a whole different adventure.Ting Ting explains that hosting group trips means holding space for others while navigating unfamiliar environments — often in destinations that challenge comfort zones. Safety, hydration, logistics, emotions… it's all part of the role. But seeing a destination through fresh eyes — even places she's visited many times, like Egypt — never gets old.And yes, she lovingly compares leading groups to herding kittens.   Mongolia: An Ancestral Adventure Like No OtherThis episode's heart beats strongest in Mongolia.After discovering her Mongolian ancestry through a DNA test, Ting Ting felt called to experience the land not as a tourist — but as someone seeking connection. What followed was one of her most intense and transformative journeys yet.She lived with nomadic families, rode horses across vast open landscapes, and learned from Eagle Hunters whose traditions have been passed down for generations.“Mongolia offers a deep connection to ancestry.”The Reality of Nomadic LifeLet's clear something up: nomadic life is not the romantic fantasy Instagram makes it out to be.Days start before sunrise. Every task has a purpose. Every resource is used fully — even burning yak dung for heat. Ting Ting shares how living this way revealed just how resilient, resourceful, and deeply connected to nature these communities are.“Nomadic life is more challenging than it appears.”The experience was humbling, grounding, and eye-opening — and yes, included outdoor bathrooms, long days, and moments of real discomfort.  Why Ancestry Travel Hits DifferentThere's something powerful about traveling somewhere tied to your roots.Ting Ting reflects on how knowing her ancestry changed the way she experienced Mongolia — how the land, people, and traditions felt familiar in an unexplainable way. It wasn't just about learning history; it was about belonging.Ancestry travel, she explains, isn't always easy — but it often leads to the deepest growth.  Facing Fear & Traveling Off the GridMongolia and China often feel intimidating to travelers — and Ting Ting doesn't sugarcoat that reality. Extreme weather, challenging terrain, and cultural differences are part of the deal.But safety, she emphasizes, comes from understanding local customs, traveling with intention, and staying curious instead of fearful.Some moments tested her limits. Some moments made her question why she signed up. And those moments? They're often the ones that change you the most.  Adventure Destinations Around the WorldWhile Mongolia stands out as one of her most demanding trips, Ting Ting has led adventures across the globe — from Egypt to Bali to Mexico.Each destination offers something different:Egypt surprises travelers with warmth, history, and human connection.Bali and Puerto Escondido, Mexico require intentional planning to stay authentic.Group travel amplifies experiences in ways solo trips can't.The key? Going deeper than the highlights and staying open to the unexpected.  Travel Tips You'll Actually Want to RememberBefore booking your next adventure or retreat-style trip, Ting Ting offers some real-world advice:Expect discomfort — growth lives therePrepare for cultural differencesUnderstand health requirements (yes, vaccines matter)Pack intentionally (you don't need as much as you think)Learn from past travel mistakes — everyone has them“Personal growth often comes from challenging experiences.”  Who Are Adventure Retreats Really For?Adventure retreats aren't just for hardcore explorers — but they're also not for everyone.They're perfect for travelers craving connection, personal growth, and meaningful experiences. If you need total control, predictability, or luxury at every turn, easing into adventure travel might be the move.The reward? Perspective, confidence, and memories that stick with you long after you return home.  Final TakeawayThis episode is a reminder that travel isn't just about where you go — it's about who you become along the way.Whether you're drawn to ancestry travel, off-the-grid destinations, or adventure with purpose, Ting Ting Guan's story proves that the most meaningful journeys often challenge us — and change us.

You deserve an unforgettable Moroccan adventure. Today I'm talking with Azdean Elmoustaqiim from Destinations Morocco, your guide to a seamless and authentic tour.  Show Notes In our latest podcast episode, Speaker A sat down with Azzedine Elamustakim from Destinations Morocco for a journey through the magic of Morocco. If you're dreaming of vibrant souks, sweeping deserts, epic mountain climbs, and unique cultural experiences, this episode is a must-listen! Here are the key takeaways and tips for your next adventure—plus some behind-the-scenes insights you won't want to miss. Featured Guest: Azdean Elmoustaqiim Born and raised in Marrakesh, Azdean is passionate about helping travelers experience Morocco like a local. Destinations Morocco customizes trips for all travelers, with a special focus on women-led groups and families. Top Adventure Highlight: The Moroccan Desert The desert—especially Merzouga—is a life-changing experience. From caravan rides to luxury camps, it's more than just a one-night stop! Explore fossil mountains, visit nomadic villages, and dive into Gnawa music traditions. Travel Tips from the Show For your first visit: Spend a day in Fes if you're short on time—walk winding car-free streets and travel through centuries in just a few blocks. Active adventures: Morocco has it all—deserts, mountains (hello, Mount Toubkal at 13,000 ft!), and coastlines. Plan your itinerary wisely; sometimes it's better to split north and south. Culture-mixing made easy: Embrace cooking classes, tasting tours, and local market strolls for a real taste of Morocco. Pacing matters: Avoid jam-packed schedules. Leave room for spontaneous moments and downtime! Best Time to Visit Spring (March to June) and Fall (September to November) are ideal for outdoor adventure—pleasant weather, fewer crowds. Cultural Tips Be mindful in rural areas: Ask before taking photos, avoid handshakes with women unless invited, and consider wearing local clothing to blend in and connect. Morocco's diversity means you'll rarely feel out of place; just come with openness and respect. Food to Try: Don't miss the roasted chicken with preserved lemon and green olives—Azzedine's favorite after a long day out! Safety & Language Morocco is safe, welcoming, and multilingual. Don't hesitate to hire a guide for your first visit—they can make all the difference.

One of the reasons Morocco has become more and more popular lately is its recognition as a honeymoon destination.

If you're planning a trip to Ireland in 2026 these tips will make planning smoother, help you avoid crowds, and maybe even save you a bit of money. Probably the most important tips are when NOT to be in Dublin, but there are some updates to European entry & exit systems that you need to know, as well as really important advice for 2027. Jody Halsted – Ireland Family Vacations and the Traveling in Ireland podcast In case you're wondering why you would want to get your Ireland travel advice from me… My name is Jody Halsted, and I am an Ireland travel advisor. I have been traveling to and through Ireland for over 23 years (!!), publish Ireland Family Vacations, host the Traveling in Ireland podcast, assist hundreds of travelers with their Ireland vacations each year and, occasionally, I also host small group tours through Ireland (I have 2 this spring so you can look forward to some live from Ireland episodes in April and May). That's a lot! But Ireland travel is my passion; and my goal -100% – is to help you have an amazing Ireland vacation. And I have quite a few ways to do that. My website, Ireland Family Vacations, is a complete resource for Ireland vacation planning – filled with information on what to do & see as well as handy tips for planning your trip and free itineraries to get your plans in motion quickly. (Don't let the name fool you! I travel through Ireland solo, with my husband, with my family, and hosting small group tours. Whatever your group size or dynamic I am able to assist!) My itinerary personalization, vacation coaching, and custom itinerary creation services help you maximize your Ireland experience, and my small group guided tours are designed to not only deliver the ‘authentic' Ireland of your dreams but also introduce you to the people and hidden places that make the country so very magical. If you love the process of planning your trip the Ireland Travel Compass walks you step-by-step through my expert process, from when to visit and how long the perfect vacation lasts, to what to see, where to stay, and even what to eat. It's basically my entire Ireland vacation planning brain laid out. On a more personal note, I have 2 daughters, now in college, who have been traveling through Ireland with me since before they could toddle and one very supportive husband (who loves it when I plan other people's vacations because it means I'm not planning my own).

In Case of Cancellation Read and understand cancellation policies on everything from flights and transportation to tours and accommodations before booking. If booking with a credit card be aware of the cancellation coverage you may have with that card. I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance if you book tickets our tours that don't allow 100% refund if cancelled. And always if you are booking a tour package (and not necessarily the one the company offers). 2026 Looks like Another Busy Year from Travel to Ireland from North America Irish tourism numbers showed that tourism from Europe into Ireland was down, but numbers from North America remained steady. From my perspective things are already looking busy, especially in the months of May, late August, and September. (The shoulder season is the new high season.) More Direct Flights to Ireland in 2026 Aer Lingus, Ireland's flagship airline is adding 2 new US routes in 2026, bringing the total to 18 routes from Dublin!This is important because Aer Lingus is considered a ‘budget' carrier.

In Episode 579: Basque Country and Learning French After 50, host Annie Sargent chats with Deborah Pham Van Xua of Feel Good French for a lively chat about two things you'll love: the vibrant Basque Country and the joys of learning French later in life. Ever dreamed of exploring a region where lush green hills meet the Atlantic Ocean? Deborah, a proud native of Bayonne, takes us on a tour of her homeland. She shares the magic of Bayonne's famous festivals, the charm of Biarritz's beaches, and the hidden gems of Saint-Jean-de-Luz.

Deborah also runs Feel Good French, where she helps adults learn French without the stress. If you've ever thought, "I'm too old to learn a new language," think again! Deborah breaks down her simple, effective methods for picking up French after 50. She talks about shadowing techniques, setting realistic goals, and embracing mistakes. Her approach is all about connection, not perfection—perfect for travelers who want to chat with locals, not ace a grammar test. Annie and Deborah dive into the Basque Country's rich history, from its mysterious language to its whaling traditions. They also discuss the best ways to explore the region, whether by bike along the Vélodyssée or on foot through picturesque villages like Espelette. And yes, there's food! Think fresh seafood, cured ham, and those famous Basque peppers. After the interview, Annie shares a surprise from her recent trip to Paris: the city's cycling boom. She describes the bustling bike lanes, cargo bikes zipping through the streets, and even bicycle traffic jams. It's a fascinating look at how Paris is changing—one pedal at a time.

Travel is often pictured as excitement, new sights, and adventure. But for many, it can feel overwhelming, exhausting, or even impossible before a trip begins. For individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, autism, or learning differences, the unfamiliar sounds, routines, and expectations of travel can make even the simplest journey feel heavy. And yet, these truths are rarely spoken with honesty, empathy, or care. In this deeply moving episode of Speaking of Travel, we sit down with Dr. Andrew Kahn, licensed psychologist, Associate Director at Understood.org, and a national voice on mental health and neurodiversity. Dr. Kahn brings more than 25 years of professional experience, along with his own lived experience as someone with learning and thinking differences. The result is a conversation that is both profoundly human and deeply practical, full of insight, compassion, and wisdom for travelers of all kinds. Dr. Kahn reminds us that preparation is an act of love for ourselves and for those we care about. He shares stories of patience and understanding that ripple outward, turning moments of stress into experiences of connection, growth, and joy. This conversation is an invitation to travel differently, not faster, not farther, but more gently. It's about creating space for empathy, for self-compassion, and for recognizing the courage it takes to step into the world when it feels unpredictable or challenging. Only on Speaking of Travel! Tune in. Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel! Visit speakingoftravel.net for travel tips, travel stories, and ways you can become a more savvy traveler.

40 Trips to France: Plus a French Christmas Feast with Annie & Elyse opens with host Annie Sargent welcoming back longtime traveler Janice Chung, who has now visited France 40 times. This episode explores why France keeps calling people back and how repeat travel changes the way you experience the country. Listen to this episode ad-free Janice explains why France feels like home to her. She talks about slowing down, speaking French even when it's imperfect, and choosing experiences over checklists. She shares how she plans trips around things that excite her. Sometimes it's a race, like the Adidas 10K in Paris. Sometimes it's a scenic train ride in the Ardèche. Other times it's simply walking for hours and letting the day unfold. Annie and Janice discuss favorite regions, especially lesser-known places like the Aveyron. They talk about beautiful villages, local food like aligot, and why these areas remain less touristy. Janice also explains how she mixes trains, rental cars, biking, and walking depending on where she goes. This episode also looks at how France has changed over the decades. Janice remembers dirtier streets, heavier smoking, and more car traffic. Today, she notices cleaner cities, contactless payments everywhere, and easier trip planning thanks to technology. Prices have gone up, especially in Paris, but great value still exists outside major cities. The episode ends with a festive magazine segment. Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin talk about French Christmas traditions. They cover chocolate, foie gras, oysters, cheese, bûche de Noël, and how bakeries prepare for the holidays. It's practical, warm, and very French. If you love real conversations about travel, food, and life in France, this episode is for you.
