    I have been a fan of Chelsea’s YouTube videos for years and am finally diving into the podcast. Absolutely love the discussions and vibes of this podcast, it’s like I’m eavesdropping on their conversations and they’re hilarious to boot!

  • My favourite podcast!

    I love this podcast. It’s informative, gives great realistic travel advice and is so entertaining too. So many times I’ve burst out laughing on my morning train, no doubt causing my fellow commuters to think I’m a weirdo. I really look forward to it each week. Highly recommend

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sober Raves & 24-hours in Paris
Q: We need new suitcases and can't decide between hard and soft shell. What are the pros and cons?
Hard suitcases are generally more rigid and protection-focused, making them easier to manage when checking in and transporting fragile items, while some soft shells can offer lighter weight and flexibility; for longer trips or more gear, a hard case is often the safer, more durable option.
Sober Raves & 24-hours in Paris
Q: Hi Chelsea and James. My husband and I are headed to Paris with a day trip to London via the Eurostar. Do you have tips for a less-crowded, authentic experience in both cities on a 10-12 hour timeline?
Focus on one to two nearby neighborhoods as bases, pick quieter areas like Discount Suit Company and Canal Saint-Martin in Paris for a more relaxed day, and in London explore authentic, less-touristy pockets such as Lamb Conduit Street with nearby, traditional venues to avoid crowds.
Podcast Rivalry & The Albania Hype
Q: In a couple of months we're flying to Mallorca for a week and want to keep costs down. Should we pay for seats together or for extra luggage? Any sneaky tricks?
Prioritize cheaper seats to stay connected during the flight; packing light helps, and there are tricks like checking in early or using seat-selection hacks to improve your odds without paying for both seats and luggage.
Podcast Rivalry & The Albania Hype
Q: Hi Chelsea and James, we're looking for a cheaper destination with great food, culture and by the sea. Everyone is talking about Albania. Is it genuinely great or just a travel trend?
Albania has real beauty along the coast and can be a wonderful summer destination, but it's becoming crowded and prices can rise; consider going in September or exploring lesser-known towns along the coast.
Incognito Mode, Defining Schengen & A Chocolate Theme Park
Q: Is Paris in the Schengen Zone?
Yes, Paris is in the Schengen Zone, as is France, which is one of the 29 Schengen countries.
