33: Ticket 2 | Traveling Finland in November for 9 Days

It's like the World Cup, but for the Western Hemisphere... Copa America, that is! And it's happening in Summer 2024 in our hometown of LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

Since Leah is a longtime fan of soccer (and actually played for 8 years growing up! Until she didn't make the high school team 😞 ), and Copa America 2024 tickets are already on sale as of February 2024, we wanted to release this time sensitive episode, especially as this is only the 2nd time in the oldest tournament in the world's history that it is being held across the USA.

Copa America is like the World Cup for men's national soccer (football) teams across Latin America, lately introducing more Central American and North American teams. This travel episode will detail how to get tickets, best cities to go to in order to watch, how to travel between or in some of those cities, and more sporting event tips.

Share this episode with a friend who loves soccer (football)!

THE MOST beautiful island in the world: Palawan, The Philippines!  We didn't crown it, but we truly believe it, especially with their limestone formations, white sandy beaches, clear waters, kayaking and water activities, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Palawan has received the award of "Best Island in the World" on a global level!

This episode is for those people that didn't know that you can sail between the two hot spots of El Nido and Coron, on Palawan... mainly because we recommend you have at least 4 nights available to sail the open seas, and you cushion your trip 1 night on each side in both El Nido and Coron. SO yes, we understand this excursion takes some time on your travels.

However, we this will likely be one of your favorite experiences in any island nation. Check out this sailing expedition in the Philippines for yourself! Reach out to @LAinFlight directly via IG or email (hi @ lainflight . com) if you have any questions :)

If you're ready to sail between Coron and El Nido on Palawan in The Philippines, book your tour HERE! Big Dream Boat Man is frequently running promos, so be sure to check often for your tour! (we receive a small commission once you've paid for your tour - this helps keep the podcast going!)

Sometimes the tiniest moments during travel - good or bad - make the biggest impact on our lives and give us pause while we're roaming the world!

Whether it was something said or done, whether we did it, or it happened to us, travel stories stick with us forever. Travel memories ingrained into our minds and the way we adventure around the world can change us for the better, or teach us a lesson.

This episode expands off Rhino's social media campaign titled "Travel Truths" knowing "Travel isn't the same for everyone and each experience is unique and carries its own set of joys and challenges. That's why [they] choose to highlight all types of truth in travel."

This episode is sponsored by Rhino, a social app that focuses on diversity in travel, and enables people from every background to share and discover travel experiences through photo and video. Download Rhino for free today in the Apple App Store or in Google Play.
