This week, Tanya’s heading to Mexico and Jessica’s off to Canada, but before we board our flights, we’re sitting down to talk about why these two places keep calling us back.

From Mexico’s soulful traditions and community-rooted living to Canada’s public care systems and slower pace, we’re reflecting on what feels different and what that difference reveals about how we want to live, rest, and connect.

With Juneteenth on our minds, this conversation isn’t just about travel, it’s about freedom. Not the version written into laws, but the kind we carve out for ourselves. The freedom to choose softness, to build community, to rest without guilt, and to dream beyond survival.

This isn’t an episode about what the U.S. gets wrong. It’s about reimagining what’s possible and what becomes visible when we look beyond the borders we’ve been given.
