The Abroad Pod

Ep. 9: Happy Wednesday! This episode is all about bucket lists! My favorite things! I walk through my own travel bucket lists, including which countries I plan on visiting before I die, visiting all 7 Wonders of the World, all 50 states, and more. Do you have a bucket list? You'll want to make one after this episode. Continuing with the Caribbean, this weeks destination segment is all about Aruba. I cover how to get there, where to stay, and what to do. Tune in now!

Ep. 8: This episode is the second in my Abroad Series, and is all about Semester at Sea! This week I'm joined with my childhood bestie, Emily Rakers, to talk all about her experience onboard Semester at Sea! We discuss her classes, day in the life, port visits, skydiving, shark cage diving, and so much more. Whether you're considering this abroad program or just want to learn about a really unique travel opportunity, you won't want to miss this one!

Ep. 13: Happy Wednesday friends! I’m your host Nicole and today I’m joined by yet another guest for another Abroad Series episode. The Abroad Series is a series I started last season to showcase different abroad programs and experiences around the world. I’m so excited for this week’s episode because today I’m sitting down with Meli, a recent college graduate from Washington State. Meli’s story is a super unique one. Growing up in a military family, Meli spent 11 years of her life living abroad. She’s lived in 6 countries total: the US, Japan, Indonesia, Italy, Bahrain, and Ecuador! I’m so excited to learn more about Meli’s life growing up abroad and I hope you are too. Without further ado, let’s meet Meli!

Ep. 12: Hey guys and welcome back to another episode of The Abroad Pod, your go-to podcast for all things abroad. I’m your host Nicole and today’s episode is going to be another Abroad Series. The Abroad Series is a series I started last season where I bring on different guests to showcase abroad programs and experiences around the world. I’m so so so excited for this week’s episode because today I’m sitting down with Lexie Alford, the Guinness World Record Holder for being the Youngest Person in the World to Visit Every Country! As you guys know, I am the Social Director for Serengetee, an e-commerce travel brand, and we were thrilled to work with Lexie back in December during one of our gift with purchase promotions. Lexie and I have stayed in touch and I’m so honored that she’s joining me today on my podcast. Lexie is a 22-year-old, Northern California native who has visited all 196 countries. She managed to do this by the age of 21, winning the world record by a landslide! Today Lexie is going to share her journey with us and provide some insight on how she managed to pull off the adventure of a lifetime.

Ep. 3: Happy Wednesday! Today's episode covers all things abroad- as most do. This is The Abroad Pod after all! If you aren't/weren't able to study abroad in college (hello college athletes and future scientists I'm talking to you) (oh, and hello COVID-19 pandemic), this is the episode for you. I curated a list of 10+ travel programs for 12-35 year olds that will allow you to travel internationally with a group on either short-term or long-term stays. These programs are for interning abroad, teaching abroad, working abroad, or just travel abroad in general, and are great alternatives to traditional undergraduate study abroad programs! At the end of the episode I share the story of my 14 hour bus ride from Italy to the Czech Republic in 2017 and how I managed to see all of Prague in only 2 days PLUS pit-stop at Oktoberfest on the way home... You won't want to miss this week's destination segment.
