92: Ticket 2 | What is Overtourism, and How Do We Stop It?
Barcelona. Venice. Paris. Amsterdam. Bali. Machu Picchu. The Great Barrier Reef. These are all popular tourist destinations - maybe even TOO popular. How has overtourism impacted a city? Is overtourism a pro or a con? During Leah’s most recent travels to the Netherlands, she hung out with friends that lived outside of the popular, Amsterdam. A large discussion was had when they told her about the minor changes being done to prevent more overtourism in the city. This led to learning and hearing more from locals, articles, etc. about the impacts of what tourism can do for the people living there. What are your thoughts of overtourism while traveling, and what feasible suggestion(s) do you have to help combat the negative effects of it?

88: Ticket 2 | You Booked a Hostel for the First Time - NOW WHAT?
Have you always wanted to try a hostel, but didn't know what to expect? Do you want to meet others while traveling across the globe? Are you a budget backpacker looking for ways to keep saving money? This episode is your one-stop shop to perfecting the art of staying in hostels... and no, it does not happen overnight, it may not even happen in 1 year. Hostels are not what they were 20, 25, 30 years ago. These days they are more like boutique hotels that can bunk 8 or 12 people at one large room at a time! So many perks of hostels can now include free breakfast, curtains/lockers/personal lights in each bunks, pools and spas, tours and activities, bars/gyms/restaurants on-site, coworking spaces, yoga and biking classes, movie theaters, laundry rooms, and even cafes on the ground floor! We also cover a bit of hostel culture in the USA and how it's growing and accommodating the new working traveler. If you find this episode helpful, share it with someone who wants to try a hostel for their first time!

73: Ticket 2 | Celebrating Filipino-American Culture in the USA
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.

46: Ticket 2 | Traveling as Asian-American and LGBTQ+ Women
This episode is sponsored by Rhino, a social app that focuses on diversity in travel, and enables people from every background to share and discover travel experiences through photo and video. Download Rhino for free today in the Apple App Store or in Google Play . Here's something we haven't spoken much about on Ticket 2 Anywhere Podcast: our identities. We chat plenty about what kind of traveler we are, the easiest way to see places, and how we travel, but in this episode we got to dig into the root of who we really are. With Leah being Asian-American and Trizzy being Asian-American and LGBTQ+, we're proud of who we are and honor to travel the way that we do, in hopes to spread kindness and understanding across the globe. We were both raised to respect all races and cultures, but what happens when you travel to a place that doesn't necessarily do the same? This episode details how we plan travel around safety and acceptance, what resources we tap into, and our experiences around the world. What makes Rhino different is you can create a profile to add your identity, and all your experiences and photos will be added to that community! Rhino is challenging the travel industry's one-size-fits-all approach and aims to center perspectives that are often sidelined.

41: Ticket 2 | A Trip to The Motherland: The Philippines
"They say when you die, you don't go to heaven... You go to The Philippines!" This is a very special (Leah's) birthday episode about the time she visited the motherland: the Philippines! Erin from Alpaca My Bags invited Leah on the show to talk about heritage travel, what it's like traveling to a country that could be considered "home", and growing up as a first-generation American. This Philippines trip took place from January 2020-February 2020, just in time. This month-long pilgrimage to the motherland was spent half with travelers and locals met in hostels, and the other half was spent with family island hopping and going to weddings! Listen in closely to see how this trip impacted Leah's adult life and the way she travels now. We hope you consider a 2+ week trip to this wonderful Southeast Asian country.

39: Ticket 2 | The Same City, 14 Years Later
How often do you return to the same place? This episode takes us back to visiting New Orleans in 2008 for a collegiate marketing conference versus visiting in 2022 for a women's travel conference. In our former trips to the city in 2008, 2010, and 2011, all we cared about was drinking, partying, and eating whatever we could afford, with 6 of us packed into a Sheraton room on Canal. Flash forward 11+ years later, and we're exploring every oyster house, coffee shop, walking tour, and bike route New Orleans has to offer. With a little more time, a lot more motivation and way more money, we explored The Big Easy exactly the way we wanted, all while meeting incredible global women at Wanderfest, hosted by Wanderful.

What is Wanderfest? What to do with a weekend in New Orleans? What does fried alligator actually taste like? To answer all these questions and more, listen up! You probably searched "Wanderfest" or "Wanderful" and came across this episode. A global women's travel community called Wanderful, hosted an outdoor festival filled with speakers, music, celebration and food in New Orleans this past weekend in March and it is the first festival of its kind! We took to the streets (Canal, Bourbon, and inside the actual conference) to ask guests what their experience has been like in this vibrant city, spending days exploring and meeting up with fellow women in travel, content creators, dreamers, and doers. For many of us, it was our first time meeting up in person in years. The energy, motivation, and connection found at this festival was unmatched and definitely provided fuel for the weekend. Guaranteed this will be the only inspiration you'll need to attend Wanderfest every year for years to come!

Do you have the Northern Lights on your travel bucket list? Have you ever considered visiting Finland in order to see them? Trizzy never even THOUGHT of putting Finland on her list, until a booking mishap forced her to look into it. The original plan was to book an igloo in Alaska.

Our first episode of 2022 is all about how to plan a trip to Finland if you are mid-budget and have less than 2 weeks, but still want to pack in as many activities as possible!

31: Ticket 2 | How To Protect Yourself While Traveling featuring Rebecca Ahn
Traveling solo? Have you ever wanted to learn how to best protect yourself in unfamiliar settings? Is self-defense something you've always wanted to start but never prioritized? Enter Rebecca Ahn , a world traveller who is now teaching self-defense classes to fellow travelers through her organization, Tough Cookie . She noticed that most of the self-defense classes she came across were run by men and not focused on the needs of women, so she did the dang thing... and created her own! Rebecca is the ultimate multi-hypenate: a self-defense instructor, martial artist, and former corporate ladder climber and Hollywood stunt women who left Hollywood a couple of years ago to travel and do the van life before the pandemic hit. Rebecca has survived violence and abuse and has turned her life around to empower women to protect and save themselves.

Danielle Desir, podcaster, author, blogger and creator of The Thought Card financial podcast and blog, joined T2A recently to talk all things money, which is what allows us to travel! She emphasizes "value based spending" and shares her tips and tricks on how to pick what matters to you when you travel, and what to look for to get the most bang for your buck. Some of Danielle's best advice regarding travel & money is to know who you are and figure out how you can win quickly to keep up momentum. One of her processes is to "Save. Travel. Repeat." Growing up, Danielle's mother talked to her about money ALL the time, very much a taboo topic in many cultures. We're envious she got that transparency!
