Are you someone that doesn't have the type A energy to plan every single step of your upcoming trip?

play

08/18/20 • 32 min

So you figured out where you wanna go, but don't have a clue about where you wanna stay. We are blessed that there are more lodging options popping up but it's note that not every place is made equally. On this episode of Your Odyssey Awaits, your host Ody will take the time to go over the pros and cons of hotels, hostels, and home rentals and will also give some insight on how the city's layout and geography can act as determining factors that could limit your choices.

On this episode of Your Odyssey Awaits I invited the Dakara sisters to help provide some guidance about how to effectively travel with a large family. Instead, it turned into a roast between two major Texas cities and between sisters. Plus the most extensive discussion over the escape plan question. Hope you're ready for a fun time!

Your Odyssey Awaits - S1E8 Cruising for a Snoozing (ft. Vynese)
play

09/01/20 • 54 min

Forget about those negative stereotypes about cruise ships! Or at least don't knock it until you try it! When you think about it, a cruise is just a floating resort that can take you to other destinations. And considering the amenities and services that are included in the price, it usually comes out to be a steal! This week our guest Vynese will be covering Norwegian Cruise Line as well as helping (barely) to recount our time in Miami. This is one of three episodes that I plan to do where I cover the most popular AND cost-friendliest cruise lines that can be a godsend to young adults.

When you hear "Italy", what cities generally come to mind? Of course people will mention Rome, Venice, Milan, Pisa, and Florence. But have y'all ever heard of Sorrento? Well on this episode of Your Odyssey Awaits, we're gonna show some love to this cozy little oasis located in Southern Italy. And it's also close to famous sites such as Pompeii, Mt.Vesuvius, and the Island of Capri. Our guest Nico will go into detail about how he enjoyed his time in Sorrento and even decided to venture off alone. Just goes to show that even if you are with a travel group, you still have the freedom to decide when you want to go off on your own, even if that includes the need to recover from the night before!
