Travel Podcast Episodes

From travel flings to pet peeves, and even a sneak peek of what goes behind media trips — here’s a summary of our podcast episodes!

Ep 1: Travel Flings

Every trip hides a secret story: It could be a wild fling, or a spark that lingers long after the suitcase is unpacked.

This podcast dives into travel hookups, unexpected friendships, and the blurry line between fleeting moments and lasting connections.

Whether it’s romance on the road or bonds that last after you’ve left, we’re unpacking the messy, magical side of human connection when you’re far from home!

Ep 2: Travel Pet Peeves

Airplane etiquette gone wrong: In this episode of Unpacked, we’re spilling our biggest travel pet peeves from long-haul flights, chaotic itineraries, and friends who forget the basics.

From seat-reclining battles to friendships breaking mid-trip, we’ve got stories that’ll make you nod, groan, and laugh.

Ep 3: Behind Media Trips

Everyone thinks “getting paid to travel” is just sunsets and smoothies… but what actually goes down when you live your life in transit?

This episode brings together a creator, an ex–cabin crew, a remote worker, and the social lead who’s always on the road. Four perspectives, one shared truth: the journey is way messier than the feed.

If you’ve ever wondered what really happens behind the trips, buckle up. This one’s a ride.
