Olympic Parade & Ski-Mo (01:54)As if we need more motivation to travel, the Olympic parade really gets the travel bug moving…yes, from just the athletes walking into the Opening Ceromonies. Like we said, it doesn’t take us much. Ohhhh and, have you heard of Ski-Mo (aka Ski Mountaineering?!) it’s the newest olympic sport and it sounds electric! Favorite Winter Olympic Sport (11:32)We love the olympics and we love to make our life difficult which is why we are debating what our favorite winter olympic sport is. There’s actually quite a few sneaky choices. How Italy Won the Bid to Host the 2026 Olympic (14:35)By now we all know Italy is hosting the olympics, or at least we hope you Taggies sitting on the couch watching the games realize they’re taking place in Italy. The question is - how did Italy win the bid to host? It was a close battle between Sweden and Italy but there were a few key elements that tipped in Italy’s favorOlympic Mascots Milo & Tina (44:37)While we’re still not ready to say goodbye to Phryges, the mascot from the 2024 Olympics, we are ready to fully embrace the TWO new mascots - Milo & Tina.

Winter Olympic Athlete Draft (57:14)The athletes can’t be the only ones competing over the next two weeks so we decided to get in on the fun!

🏠 We’re Baaaaaack (01:33)It’s only been a week for you, but it’s been a month for us! Does that make us time travelers? While we were away, the news didn’t stop. From Groundhog’s Day and Sundance Film Festival to the Superbowl and Olympics, we catch up on all things travel happening this week.💃 What’s Our Next South American Country? (21:50)Brazil was the first time either of us visited South America, marking our 6th of 7 total continents, and we’re not stopping there! In true Bag Tag fashion, we’re already planning our next trip back to this part of the world. The real question is: where will we go?🇧🇷 Unpacking Brazil (26:22)From Rio to Iguazu to Sao Luis to the Dunes, we truly made the most of our time in Brazil! And today we’re unpacking it all including trip food and drinks, beaches, Carnival, our favorite things, and souvos. ✈️ Runway Report: GIG (89:23)Huge missed opportunity to use the bag tag code RIO! We hit a lot of airports on this trip but only one that really mattered. Consider this our official runway report for the Rio de Janeiro International Airport, aka Galeão International Airport, and find out how many clouds we find it worth of.📰 What In the World Is Going On? (94:09)A better question might be: what isn’t going on? An acquisition, new policies, a reopened road, something with Vegas and good, old fashioned internet beef. We take time to run through a handful of juicy travel stories that occurred while we were gone! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
🍅 Are Bloody Mary’s Better 30,000 Feet Up (01:33)A couple of weeks ago we were telling y’all that people have claimed it is a scientific fact that bloody mary’s are better when cruising off on an adventure. Chantel is a supporter of bloody marys and Wyatt is not so we figured we’d be great tasters of this theory. Well the results are in and we’re ready to discuss😵💫 Worst Travel Habits (06:48)Hannah Montana truly said it best “Nobody’s perfect” and unfortunately when it comes to travel, we all have bad travel habits. Yes, even us expert travelers have a thing or two we’d like to change orrrrrr maybe we don’t care but those we travel with do! ✈️ The Travel Effect (12:56)When we talk about travel, we usually talk about escape. A break. A reset. A getaway. But here’s the thing we don’t talk about enough: Travel is not neutral. Every plane ticket, hotel stay, museum visit, coffee order, and Instagram post sets off a chain reaction — one that reaches local economies, national politics, and the daily lives of people who live there year-round. Today, we’re unpacking The Travel Effect — how tourism quietly reshapes the world, whether we notice it or not.🏜️ Unpacking Texas (42:15)We kicked off 2026 in style at a wedding in Texas but we have been so busy we haven’t had a chance yet to unpack so what better time to do so than now!

Window in Airplane Bathroom (01:37)As if by some miracle, we spoke of an airplane bathroom with a window into existence!

Every airplane needs one!Iguazu Falls or Parque Nacional dos Lencois Maranhenses (05:55)Our Brazil adventure is not silo’d to just Rio! We venture off to Iguazu Falls and Parque Nacional dos Lencois Maranhenses. The question is…which are we most excited for! That is our debate for this week’’s seat pockedIguazu Falls - Fun Facts (11:47)If you’ve never heard of Iguazú Falls before, that’s okay. You’re not alone.

History and Fun Facts about Brazil (34:07)Brazil didn’t just happen. It collided into existence.Long before Europeans showed up, Brazil was home to millions of Indigenous people, spread across hundreds of cultures and languages. Groups like the Tupi, Guaraní, and Yanomami lived off the land, navigated rivers like highways, and built societies deeply connected to nature. The Amazon wasn’t “discovered” — it was already known, mapped, and lived in.What in the World is Beto Carrero World? (45:17)Beto Carrero World—a 14-million-square-meter theme park that just surpassed multiple Disney parks in global rankings and is now teasing a roller coaster set to break six world records.Yeah. Six. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
🤑 Get Bumped, Get Money (01:34)There’s a lot of side hustles out there, but one of the most unique has to be purposely booking oversold flights and getting money to get bumped. While this isn’t a new technique, it’s certainly not one that most people are willing to try. 🌃 Daytime vs Nighttime (07:47)Rio is known for its beautiful beaches, rainforests, and attractions but they also have a nightlife that is simply unmatched. While we’re very much of the mindset that we have to do it all when we’re on a trip, we discuss if we’d prefer daytime or nighttime activities if we could only choose one.🇧🇷 Getting Real About Rio (12:20)As we pack for our upcoming trip to Rio de Janeiro, we’re giving you everything you need to know! From history and fun facts, to a breakdown of the beach culture, top things to do, and their national food and drinks, we really get into it all.🚡 Trains, Planes, and Gondolas? (48:05)There’s a new transportation method on the rise (literally) and it’s not what you might think… Gondolas are a quick, reliable, and affordable way for major cities to create a new public transportation route that avoids traffic.

It’s real and it’s fun especially when it comes to their impact on travel! ✨ New Years Resolutions (08:50)Cliche, classic, lame, exciting whatever you think about New Years Resolutions, on this adventure we embrace it!

You think that sounds crazy? Well we explain why it makes all the sense in the world. This year we have 5 destinations that will be all over the feeds and timelines.

Well we both have picks we are almost guaranteed to be all the rage! 🌎 2026 Travel Headlines (33:20)If you thought 2025 was packed full of travel stories and news, well yeah it was, but 2026 is already shaping up to be one epic sequel! From new amusement parks, to changes at the National Parks to a country reshaping your desire to travel, the year ahead (that we know of) will be one fun adventure Hosted on Acast.

🛏️ Hotel Booking TrickWhen it comes to finding the best place to stay, there’s a new technique that can give you the 5-star experience without the 5-star price tag!! It comes down to accepting a little less space. The idea is you book the worst room at the nicest hotel to enjoy everything it has to offer versus a suite or upgraded room at a cheaper hotel🧀 The Rule for Queso Queso comes in all shapes and sizes or perhaps not. There’s a hot debate going on whether queso should be simply cheese with no additives while others claim the cheese is a good foundation but the flavor lives with the additions. 🤖 Everything You Need to Know about AustinAustin truly is different than anywhere else in Texas, it has a full on bat display, 100 foot light posts, a nude beach and a ton of tech!

We unpack everything you need to know about Austin! 🎨 Las Vegas Art MuseumLas Vegas has been struggling over the last year and continues to look for ways to reinvent itself! What was once just a desert full of casinos, has added in a F1 race, major US sports teams, immersive experience district, and now a formal fine art museum.

🚽Windows in Airplane Bathrooms (01:45)Is it weird to have windows in an airplane bathroom? No, but think about it.

Although if you need to use the bathroom at the gate…🧳 The Best Travel Story of the Year (05:42)There’s a lot of bold travel takes, weird tips and hacks, and trends that sometimes just don’t really make sense.

Wyatt has just begun the journey of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown and discuss what other shows, movies, pods, and books to help you enjoy an adventure from the couch! 📷 How do you Document Travel? (13:18)It may seem obvious but really take a second to think - how do you document your vacations - is it through photos, videos, social media, journaling or podcasting?
