We’ve reached the end of Season 1!

To wrap up a fantastic first series, Aoife and April are emptying their bags and sharing every travel hack, tip, and hard-earned lesson they’ve picked up over decades of exploring the globe.

Ever wonder how April manages a family of six with only carry-on luggage? Or how Aoife navigates the "unspoken rules" of traveling with friends without ending a relationship? We’re diving into the psychology of travel partners and why you should never, ever "wing it" when it comes to your accommodation.

We also tackle the challenge of traveling with teenagers—from the "WiFi bribe" to choosing destinations like New York and Orlando that keep them engaged. Whether you're a nervous traveler or a seasoned pro, this finale is packed with the "crack" and candid advice you need for your next adventure.

In this episode:

• The Carry-On Challenge: How to pack for 10 days in one small bag.
• Travel Etiquette: The "Third Wheel" rule and how to split costs fairly.
• Teen Travel Tips: Why keeping them busy is the key to a peaceful holiday.
• A Walk Down Memory Lane: How April and Aoife’s lives have been "hilariously intertangled" from New York restaurants to the podcast studio.
