This week we are joined by Julia Rubin, brilliant writer and current editor of The Goods by Vox. As such, Julia has thoughtful insights on everything from in-flight skincare to budgeting. In this episode, she takes us along on her solo-then-joined-by-friends journey around Portugal! She visits Porto, Lisbon and Portuguese Wine Country (it’s a thing!) and — shockingly — kind of convinces Andrew to go to a modern art museum.

This week the charming and hilarious Marlena Rodriguez (Silicon Valley, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) joins us to talk about her trip to Cuba! Marlena went with a tour group over New Year’s, and there’s so much to unpack. Salsa classes, vintage car rides, fresh mojitos, delicious grilled chicken and traveling with a group of horny strangers, this episode has it all and more!

This week we're off to New Orleans with writer, actor, and storied comedian Zach Broussard. Zach is from nearby Lafayette but he's been visiting New Orleans his entire life, so he has years of context and food recommendations. We're talking oysters, gators, sazeracs, and one story about a hoodoo store that you won't wanna miss!

This week we're off to New Zealand with writer, comedian and intrepid traveler, Katie Simon. Katie deftly leads us through this magical country full of mountains, lakes, geysers, caves full of glow worms, and sheep. So many sheep! It's a real adventure! She even goes — and we cannot stress this enough — bungee jumping. BUNGEE JUMPING!

Yalla! This week we're off to Israel with noted Israeli actor, comedian and viral superstar, Yoni Lotan (of Netflix's Russian Doll)! Come along as we wind our way through the Holy Land, stopping in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Eilat, and everywhere in between. Yoni's been visiting Israel since he was a kid, and has tons of insights and fully insane stories. Sababa!

It’s a European adventure this week as screenwriter and actor Amos Vernon takes us on his rollicking road trip from Rome, through Tuscany, then up to Switzerland and Southern Germany. Amos is an avid (and excellent) rock climber, so we discuss bouldering abroad and what it’s like to go to the hospital in a foreign country! Plus, details on how Italian roadside rest stops are secretly incredible. Let’s gooooooo!

This week we're going all across the United States with our longtime pal, writer Travis Helwig (Adam Ruins Everything, Lovett or Leave It, Pod Save America)!! Travis is constantly on traveling for work, so we picked his brain about airport strategy, CLEAR, and which "flyover" cities are surprisingly wonderful!

Andiamo, bitches! We're off to stunning Puglia, Italy with TV Writer and author of I AM BRIDE, Laura Willcox. Treat your ears to her family vacation full of sunflower fields, crystal blue grottos, and SO. MUCH. FOOD. You're gonna want to bookmark these recs. Molto bene!

Pack your car snacks and call shotgun, this week we're hitting the open road with screenwriter and expert traveler, Mary Lordes! Mary takes us through her epic post-wedding road trip from New Orleans to LA, with stops in Hot Springs, Oklahoma City, Santa Fe and more.

Welcome to the very first episode of TAKE ME THERE! Alexandra and Andrew kick things off with the illustrious and hilarious comedy writer Joanna Bradley (Saturday Night Live, The Break with Michelle Wolf, and more), who spills the vin rouge on summering in The South of France. C'est magnifique!
