Ever wonder if you'd thrive wandering the streets of Paris solo or if you're better off swapping stories over cocktails with new travel buddies in Bali? In this episode, we’re soaring into the pros and cons of solo vs. group travel—from creepy stares at 35,000 feet to magical nights under the Eiffel Tower. We’re opening up about our own travel habits, biggest surprises, and a few hilarious (and slightly sketchy) stories from our journeys. We’ll also chat about how our flight attendant perks have shaped the way we travel, why we were originally hesitant about group trips, and what changed our minds. Plus, we share an emotional listener story that'll have you reaching for the tissues.
