US down under

Wondering why it seems Ciara traded in Melbourne for the Outback? While we wish it was just the steakhouse, unfortunately Ciara had to make the move to the middle of nowhere. Join her and guest co-host Aaron Forde as they discuss all the crazy experiences they've had so far!

As this will likely be the final episode Meghan and Ciara will record in the same room, the girls explain what adventures they're heading on next (whilst holding back tears) and reminisce on their time in Australia together so far. We hear a travel nightmare that will make you second guess driving when the sun goes down and a note from a listener that we guarantee will make you smile. As almost everything else has in the past few months, this podcast will also be remote now so don't unsubscribe!! More content to come as always :)

Ciara and Megh start this episode by explaining what the current covid-19 situation looks like in Australia but don't worry - we mix up the content so it's not all things quarantine in your ears! We're joined by a special guest in today's episode. Aaron is one of our lovely neighbors from Ireland. Listen in to find out a bit more about him! 

This week we chat with Ciara's parents as they finish their six week journey through New Zealand & Australia. After leaving Ireland for NYC 35 years ago, Margaret & Tony speak about the adventures and travel nightmares they have endured. We also chat about traveling amid the COVID-19 outbreak and all things Western Australia!

This week we have our co-host's sister on the pod! Julie and her boyfriend Kyle join us for US down under this week In...Tasmania!!! We're really down under now! We laugh about how Ciara and Meghan should have thought twice before coming on a "hiking trip" with two marathon runners! We talk about traveling in a relationship dealbreakers, other once in a lifetime trips and how many times Megh says "basically" or "like" during an episode ENJOY!

Enjoy this episode where we have our special guest, Perri, all the way from NYC. Perri chats to us about her time in Australia and New Zealand and how her religion impacted those experiences. Megh and Perri also talk about the characters (of all ages) that they met along their journey In NZ. We have a few special guests throughout so buckle up and enjoy! 

On today's episode the girls of Us Down Under are joined by two very special guests from their own hometown! Katie and Caroline visited Australia for the whole month of January! They share their stories of backpacking at the ripe old age of 27 to becoming locals In Melbourne! Get ready to laugh along as we hold nothing back this episode!

Meghan and Ciara traveled all the way to Sydney for this special guest. Charlie, like the hosts, just moved from NYC to Australia this past fall but he's living in Melbourne's rival city, Sydney. Ciara and Meghan ask Charlie all about what brought him to Oz and hear about his other adventures abroad. Get ready to laugh (and cringe) along with all their stories this week!

We're back to how it all began - an episode with just Meghan and Ciara. Listen to them wrap up the year by reflecting on their level of homesickness, their highs and lows of the trip so far, what they want to do next year and the experience as a whole. 

Our friend Joe Whitsundays (not actual last name) is heading home after nearly a year in Australia! Listen in as he reflects on his time here, what he's looking forward to doing next and finally an explanation as to why he had that damn wet suit on throughout the whole Whitsundays trip! Enjoy!
