Today on Travel Chat with Ashley and Emily, Emily picks up with the second part of her incredible French Polynesian honeymoon — this time in dreamy Bora Bora. She shares how she scored an amazing deal at the Westin Bora Bora using points and gives a fantastic tip for flying between islands on Air Tahiti that every traveler should know.

Emily walks through the check-in and resort tour process, including the unexpected shenanigans required just to get a bike, and shares her honest take on the hotel’s amenities, food, and breakfast options. She also reveals why she believes this property has the best view in all of Bora Bora.

Finally, Emily opens up about what she learned during a tour of the main island — from Bora Bora’s dark past to the challenges locals still face today. It’s a mix of paradise, perspective, and practical tips you won’t want to miss.

Travel Chat with Ashley and Emily is back — and this time, Emily’s fresh from her honeymoon in French Polynesia! In this two-part series, the girls dive into every detail of the trip, starting with their time in beautiful Tahiti.

Emily shares why waiting a bit after the wedding to take their honeymoon turned out to be the best decision, plus all the details from their stay at the Hilton Tahiti — from the surprising average guest age to her honest thoughts on the pool and lounge chair situation.

You’ll hear about a fun (and unexpected!) status perk, what lounge access really offers, and their favorite off-property excursions. It’s full of practical tips, funny moments, and all the dreamy Tahitian vibes.

The Travel Chat ladies are back and this time Ashley is sharing one of her most ambitious adventures yet - the Turkish Airlines Million Miles Challenge. While she hasn't finished the challenge yet she already has some crazy stories to share. In just 11 days, she crisscrossed the globe with a route that took her from the US to Ireland, Dubai, Istanbul, Estonia, Bogotá, Miami, and finally back home to Raleigh. Along the way, she tried JetBlue Mint for the first time, endured hours stuck on the tarmac, and even made time for a stop at a Texas Roadhouse in Dubai.

Her whirlwind journey wasn’t just for the story — when it’s all said and done, Ashley will have earned 1 million Turkish miles worth at least $40,000 in travel. She breaks down how she pieced together the absolute cheapest flights to make it possible, shares the method behind the madness, and even reveals the best place in Europe to score luxury goods at unbeatable prices.

If you love points and miles, wild shenanigans, and epic travel stories, this is one you don’t want to miss.

Ashley takes the stage in this episode, sharing the story of her unforgettable birthday trip. What began as a plan to celebrate in Bora Bora quickly changed when business class flights proved impossible to book. With a flight credit in hand, she pivoted to Cancun — a destination she knows and loves.

The first half of her stay at the Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen brought a few bumps, but things truly unraveled when she moved to a second hotel. After a series of bizarre, frustrating, and downright unbelievable experiences, Ashley found herself repeating one mantra: “We should have stayed at the JW.”

Listen in as Ashley walks us through the wild twists and turns of her birthday getaway — and stick around for a sneak peek at what’s coming next on Travel Chat with Ashley and Emily.
