In this episode of "Nomads No Worries," hosts Steve and Jack dive into the latest travel news with the enthusiasm of kids in a candy storeâif that candy store was filled with international tariffs and immigration crackdowns...
Jack shares his upcoming Euro trip to Italy, revealing his minimalist packing strategy that has him feeling like a backpacking ninja. The duo hilariously debates the appropriateness of dressing as the Pope for Halloween, while also pondering whether the new American Pope is secretly using Duolingo to learn Italian.
The conversation takes a turn as they discuss a report from the U.S. Travel Association predicting a decline in international visitors to the U.S. for the first time since the pandemic. Jack, ever the optimist, sees this as a chance to enjoy less crowded beaches in South Beachâbecause who needs tourists when you can have all the beach space to yourself?
The episode wraps up with a light-hearted discussion about the World Cup, poutine, and the trials of being a man in a world obsessed with measurementsâboth of height and, well, other things. Tune in for a blend of travel tips, laughs, and a healthy dose of vulnerability!
