What does Filipino-American History Month (October) actually mean? Is it ube-flavored lattes and lumpia? Is it Manny Pacquiao and an obsession with Kobe Bryant?

Leah and Trizzy dive deeper into the contributions, success, trials, and culture of Filipino-Americans and their history and shaping of the United States.  Even though Leah is a first-generation Filipino-American, she didn't truly feel connected to or understand her Filipino roots until going off to university.

Listen in on the stories, questions, and anecdotes to make us think more carefully about the way we celebrate history versus heritage.

In this episode are helpful tips to help you decide for your next adventure.

How can you tell if a homestay is any good? Is it number of reviews? A perfect 5-star rating? Is it on all the booking sites? Is it REAL? This episode is for those travelers who are looking for sharper ways to evaluate what actually makes an excellent homestay, what to do when you find THE ONE for your trip, and how to maximize your time there.

Leah and Trizzy appreciate all types of accommodation but there's something special about having your own space to relax, work, and cook full meals with all of your family and friends in one spot.

A question often asked by solo travelers and curious wanderers alike, one that doesn’t have an exact or correct answer, but rather, pick the method you like the most.

This episode is for you if you ever had questions about: How to meet people while traveling, how to keep in touch after the travels, where to look for new friends, and inspiring and uplifting stories about the people we meet on the road.

You’ll hear how Leah & Trizzy’s travel community friendship with Akemi (today’s guest & owner of @theadventureabode) blossomed into a real-life, hang-out-as-often as possible friendship all over LA and beyond. We were lucky to film this episode on location in her new homestay in Big Bear, California!

Visiting Hawaii shouldn't be a topic of contention, but it is! As often and as much as we go, sometimes it's an internal battle thinking "are we contributing to the overtourism?" 

Not to shame anyone that travels to this tropical American paradise just 6 hours west of California (we believe it's literal paradise on Earth & should be explored properly and enjoyed), but at what cost to the locals and animals? This episode is a thinkpiece and our personal experiences on why you should (and SHOULD NOT) visit the Aloha State.

"Don't be kak, be lekker!"

A phrase that most South Africans live their life by, which roughly translates to "be an awesome person." Leah aka @LAinFlight spent the entire month of January and half of February exploring the Southern Hemisphere and "The Mother City" in particular,  by posting up in Cape Town for the month.

In this episode you'll learn how Leah worked remotely using a 24/7 workspace and her fully furnished apartment (despite the loadshedding), how she emersed herself in  the local culture and cuisine, tried to learn some Xhosa and learn the deep history of South Africa in general, and how to explore Cape Town's nature, winelands, hikes, and local road trips.

You'll also learn what she prepared beforehand, how she packed, and some important tips while on the ground.
