Send us Fan Mail Podcast Check-In: Updating Our Top Places to Move + Upcoming Trips & Life Lately Brittany and Josh do a long-overdue podcast check-in, talking about how busy life has been, how the show is evolving, and refreshing their “top three” places they could see themselves living. Brittany keeps Portree (Scotland), Aveiro (Portugal), and Stockholm (Sweden), while considering Massachusetts as a potential U.S. move. Josh keeps Ghent (Belgium) and Portree, and swaps Toronto for Japan (possibly Osaka), discussing why walkability, transit, and lifestyle matter more than proximity to home. They reflect on recent travel (Vegas, Nashville), a tornado in their area, lessons about mindset, spontaneity, and being present, and discuss moving motivations including U.S. politics and using the East Coast as a stepping stone.

Send us Fan Mail If We Had $1,000,000: Where Would We Move? (Lillehammer, Norway vs. Lucerne, Switzerland) Brittany and Josh host a hypothetical “million-dollar” move discussion, choosing specific cities they haven’t visited yet. Josh picks Lillehammer, Norway, citing family roots, scenic valley access to nature, and Norway’s high rankings in happiness, health, and life expectancy. He compares Lillehammer’s income, taxes, rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, and healthcare costs to Menasha, Wisconsin, arguing that public transit and low healthcare expenses can leave more net savings despite higher taxes. He also highlights Norwegian food, salmon, coffee culture, and a potential language requirement for work. Brittany chooses Lucerne, Switzerland for its walkable medieval old town, Swiss Alps views, bridge over the Reuss River, farm-to-table and fine-dining food culture, chocolate shops, nearby hikes, music festivals, and easy train access to Zurich and Bern, while noting Switzerland’s high cost of living. 00:00 Welcome and the premise 00:41 Rules and past favorites 01:51 Josh picks Lillehammer 03:19 Norway costs and quality of life 08:38 Nature trains and fall vibes 10:10 Norwegian food and coffee culture 11:40 Language hurdle and wrap up 14:26 Brittany picks Lucerne 15:08 Old Town Alps and foodie finds 19:24 Hikes festivals and nearby cities 23:12 Costs transit and final thoughts 28:54 Outro and where to follow @WSMHtravels

Send us Fan Mail How Travel Has Changed Us (Mindset, Community, Communication & Mistakes) Brittany and Josh discuss how travel has changed them as individuals and as a couple, from expanding their perspective beyond the United States and challenging misconceptions about other regions and cultures, to noticing tighter-knit communities abroad and trying to live more simply after trips like Ireland and Portugal. They explain how they’ve become more focused on exploring and experiencing places rather than just vacationing, while still being curious about trying an all-inclusive trip. Travel has also strengthened their teamwork and communication by forcing them to navigate stressful situations, mistakes, language barriers, and transportation challenges with patience, grace, accountability, and reflection—highlighted by a rocky Italy stop in Mandello del Lario that became a favorite memory. They also share how travel inspired them to engage more in their own local community. 00:00 Welcome and Topic 00:50 Food Adventures Abroad 01:26 Beyond the US Bubble 04:02 Safety and Stereotypes 05:42 Simple Living Lessons 07:22 Explorer Not Vacationer 08:53 Resort Debate 10:23 Travel Strengthens Couples 12:42 Stress Tests and Grace 16:28 Italy Trip Turning Point 17:17 Grace Under Pressure 17:36 Mandello Argument Lesson 18:20 Mistakes Teach You 20:39 Moving Past Travel Stress 21:45 Why Adults Fear Mistakes 24:03 Mandello Breakdown Story 27:22 Community Starts At Home 31:06 Travel Takeaways Recap 32:28 Next Trip And Wrap Up @WSMHtravels

Send us Fan Mail Travel Money-Saving Tips: Flights, Hotels, Trains, Credit Cards & Shoulder Season Hacks Brittany and Josh share financial travel tips they’ve learned, from being flexible with dates using Google Flights and tracking price alerts to searching coupon codes and booking directly with hotels and car rental companies for lower rates and better perks. They recommend using local train apps/websites instead of third-party platforms for up-to-date schedules and easier rebooking, and using Airbnb as a search tool before checking if the same stay is cheaper on other sites. They suggest saving money by eating street food, using public transportation and walking, and traveling in shoulder/off-seasons or staying in nearby towns (e.g., Augsburg vs. Munich, Utrecht vs. Amsterdam, Mandello del Lario vs. Bellagio). They discuss benefits of travel credit cards (miles, insurance, free checked bags, lounge passes), filing airline customer care complaints for compensation, checking if souvenirs like alcohol are similarly priced at home, saving luggage space by buying toiletries locally, and reducing phone costs by toggling Verizon plans instead of paying daily international fees. 00:00 Welcome and Money Goals 01:23 Flexible Dates and Google Flights 03:33 Coupons and Book Direct 06:38 Trains and Local Apps 08:26 Airbnb Fee Workarounds 09:22 Food and Getting Around 10:49 Travel Cards and Miles 14:00 Lounge Perks and Club Passes 16:20 Complaints and Delay Payouts 18:55 Souvenirs and Packing Space 21:37 Toiletries On Arrival 22:10 Pack Your Own Skincare 22:51 Borrow Their Luggage 23:26 Cheaper Phone Data 26:14 Shoulder Season Wins 27:19 Off Season Ireland 30:29 Stay Outside Hotspots 33:35 Lake Como On Budget 34:54 Choose Your Travel Style 38:42 Flexible Flight Planning 39:31 Travel While You Can 40:35 Wrap Up And Follow @WSMHtravels
