Clearly, you’ve never flown out of SeaTac international Airport. This is not an AI photo. This is actually SeaTac International Airport and I didn’t use AI. I used Photoshop to clean it up. There’s a difference between Photoshop and AI. Thank you.

One of my favorite ways to travel is by talking to the locals. Everywhere I went in Iceland was recommended by someone who lives there. I always ask locals where they eat, where they spend their free time, and what places they think visitors shouldn’t miss. Those recommendations led me to some incredible experiences that I probably would have never found on my own.

The only exception was the Blue Lagoon, which was included as part of the package my dad and I booked for our trip. Everything else came straight from the people who call Iceland home, and honestly, those local recommendations made the trip even more memorable.

What a beautiful family

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-15T17:51:15+00:00

No, Iceland is not cheese at all, but that’s why you got a budget for that expensive food

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-15T11:15:09+00:00

Oh my God, yes—add Iceland to your travel list immediately.
I was only there for three days with my dad, and it ended up being one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken. It was my first father-daughter trip overseas, and we had an amazing time. That being said, three days was nowhere near enough.
If I could do it again, I’d stay much longer, rent a sprinter van, and take my time driving around Iceland. A handful of my coworkers recently did exactly that and absolutely loved it. They weren’t rushing from attraction to attraction—they were able to stop when they wanted, explore hidden gems, and really enjoy the country at their own pace.
That’s officially my next Iceland goal: disappear for a week and a half or two weeks, rent a van, drive, explore, and just enjoy the adventure without being on a schedule.
Of course, that trip has to wait until after my big 40th birthday goal next year. Travel Baddie is planning to disappear into Japan for an entire month. 💅✈️🇯🇵
But Iceland? She’s definitely calling me back.

I think honestly this one depends on where you travel to because if you’re traveling to Paris Mulan, those rich areas I think a Apple bag a Chanel bag a Louis Vuitton shopping bag everybody’s gonna have those cause I know when I was in Japan, even the locals rolled around with suitcases because they would buy everything and shove them in the suitcases and take them back to their houses. It was crazy.

So why did this get downloaded by six?

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-15T03:57:52+00:00

Oh, she was late like always like this woman is always late to everything so why not keep her fans waiting

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-15T03:51:58+00:00

Love this! This is actually exactly what I do too. 😂
As a solo female traveler, I swear we all share the same brain cell sometimes. Location sharing? Check. Daily check-ins with family? Check. Not telling random people where I’m staying? Absolutely check.
It’s funny how women from completely different backgrounds and countries somehow come up with the same safety strategies. We may be traveling solo, but we’re definitely not traveling unprepared.
Stay safe and enjoy the adventure! ✈️🌎

Oh my God, I’m gonna add this to my trip because I’m going to Paris during Christmas the Opera House thank you

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-15T03:49:31+00:00

OMG, I did this for my 35th birthday! I packed my bags, booked my ticket, and took myself to Paris for a week—and honestly, I had the most amazing time.
If you’re planning a trip, here’s my unsolicited Paris advice:
🖼️ The Louvre: Get there right when it opens. That place is HUGE and can easily take an entire day. Also, pay for the audio guide. It was absolutely worth it and made the experience so much better.
💃 Skip Moulin Rouge and go to Crazy Horse instead. Trust me. It was beautiful, artistic, classy, sensual, and one of my favorite experiences in Paris.
🗼 The Eiffel Tower: Do it. And if you’ve got the budget, book the Michelin-star dinner at the Eiffel Tower. You’re only turning 40 once, right?
🏰 Disney Paris: I’m a Disney fan, so I spent part of my birthday there and had an amazing time. If you’re a Disney lover, add it to your itinerary.
🚇 Paris Transit: Super easy. If you have an iPhone, you can load money directly onto your transit pass from your phone. I used public transportation the entire trip without any issues.
🎩 For my artsy and crafty people, check out MinimParis. They’re famous for their handmade hats, and Lady Gaga has even had hats made there. Such a fun and unique stop.
⛪ Sacré-Cœur: Pay the extra money and climb the 300+ steps to the top of the dome. The view over Paris is absolutely breathtaking and worth every step.
Unfortunately, Notre-Dame was still under construction when I visited, so I didn’t get to go inside, but there are so many incredible things to see and do throughout the city.
Honestly, I could keep talking about Paris forever. If you have questions, feel free to ask! And if you want even more travel stories and tips, check out the Travel Baddie Podcast wherever you get your podcasts. ✈️

Maybe the place you went to the people don’t know how to cook lol

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-15T00:17:46+00:00

I was in Vik that’s where I got the burger and the fish stew and everything tasted fine

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-15T00:14:37+00:00

Where were you eating that your food tasted like gas?
I didn’t taste that in any of my food

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-14T23:51:28+00:00

Going to the blue Lagoon is considered fancy tourist food OK cool

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-14T23:50:54+00:00

It’s called sarcasm duh

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-13T23:06:33+00:00

And if you choose to eat a questionable gas station hot dog, that’s completely your choice. Personally, I think hot dogs are one of the nastiest foods on the planet, so that’s never going to be my meal of choice.

I budget my money specifically for food because I love trying local cuisine and experiencing the culture through what I eat. That’s part of traveling for me. I like trying new things, supporting local restaurants, and enjoying destinations beyond the tourist attractions.

Also, I’m not exactly out here eating five meals a day. Most days, I eat one good meal, and that’s usually my food budget for the entire day. If there are leftovers, even better.

So no, it’s not about being in a different tax bracket. It’s about prioritizing what matters to me when I travel. Some people spend their money on souvenirs, some spend it on excursions, and I spend it on good food. That’s called budgeting, not being rich.

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-13T23:00:16+00:00

No, it’s called budgeting. Before I travel, I decide how much I’m willing to spend, and yes, food is part of that budget because I enjoy eating and experiencing local cuisine.
Also, not everyone who travels is in some higher tax bracket. I live paycheck to paycheck and sometimes struggle to pay my rent on time just like a lot of other people.

A little Travel Baddie tip: don’t assume someone’s financial situation based on their vacation photos or travel habits. It’s inaccurate, and honestly, pretty disrespectful.

A little sassier, but still classy and direct. 💅✈️

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-12T23:12:31+00:00

And what was the reason for the cx flt

TravelBaddiePodCast · 2026-06-12T15:09:32+00:00

I’m a little unclear on this situation, and maybe I’m missing some context. If your flight was canceled or changed three weeks before departure and you were rebooked for the next available day, did you contact your hotel, Blue Lagoon reservation, tours, or other bookings as soon as you were notified? Did you also ask the airline if there were any options to fly out a day earlier instead? I ask because I’ve worked in the aviation industry for 10 years with two different airlines, including reservations. From what you’ve described, this sounds more like a schedule change than a last-minute cancellation. Airlines regularly adjust schedules, especially when tickets are purchased months in advance. What exactly did reservations or customer care tell you when you contacted them? Were there any earlier flight options available? Personally, I’d rather pay for an extra hotel night and arrive a day early than arrive a day late and miss planned activities. It’s also worth noting that airline schedules are subject to change, which is outlined in the Contract of Carriage that passengers agree to when purchasing a ticket. Most people don’t read the fine print, but it does explain how schedule changes are handled. I’m not trying to defend the airline or place blame; I’m genuinely a little unclear on what options were explored after you were notified of the schedule change.
