223 - Itchy Feet: 10 Travel Expressions & My First Trip in Years

After seven years of being glued to my kids, I finally packed a bag and took a trip on my own. In this Chat with Shana episode, I take you back to my backpacking days in Europe: hostels, grocery store picnics, and one very loud night in Amsterdam. Then I tell you about my recent trip to Ireland and Tenerife, where I stepped way out of my comfort zone.

Along the way, you’ll learn 10 common American English expressions about travel, including:

✈️ to have itchy feet🐛 to get the travel bug💸 to be on a tight budget🏰 a tourist trap🌍 off the beaten path

Plus a bonus expression you’ll hear Americans use all the time: “not my cup of tea.”

You’ll also hear some news: I’m going to start showing up more on YouTube, on camera! Follow along here: https://www.youtube.com/@americanenglishpodcast
