Passports and Birth Control
A couple’s take on International Travel.
Episodes
Join us as we tour the romantic palaces of the Habsburgs, see the car Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in that started World War 1, and hear about how to deal with a too-hot hostel that's infested with bedbugs!
Join us as we explore the dichotomous nature of a dark, brooding medieval city that's as vibrant and colorful as any other. Learn about Prague Castle, Old Town Square, and what might be the best bar on Earth: U Fleku!
Join us as we indulge in Berlin's many museums, fail to dodge invading Polish soccer hooligans, and learn why a half-liter beer is so much better than a full liter.
Join us as we learn the proper way to drink a Kolsch, pass through the uncanny valley, and face a dragon-haunted castle overlooking the Rhine.
Join us as we board a harbor barge hostel and sample all the wonderful things, and mild racism, of Amsterdam!
Belgium is famous for its monk-made beer, but the craft beer scene in Brussels is thriving too! Join us as we eat, walk, and be merry in a city full of it!
Join us as we fill ourselves with a flood at the most romantic city on Earth. Enjoy the views of Notre Dame from our tiny apartment. Geek out over the Code of Hammurabi in the Louvre. And fill your senses with some amazing food!
Join us as we watch Spitfires fly over Dover Castle! Listen to the exciting recap of a World War Two reenactment featuring Nazis and trebuchets. If this episode teaches you one thing, it's that if you want to get from London to Paris, DO NOT TAKE THE FERRY!
Join us as we travel through one of our favorite cities! See Nelson's Column, Parliament, see a show at the Globe, and tell off an aristocrat in a pub!
Join us as we climb the many stony steps of Edinburgh, hear the Legend of the Stone of Destiny, and find Harry Potter-inspiring graves on an underground ghost tour!
Join us as we taste delicious Dublin coddle, see the Book of Kells, and get into a big fight when we kiss the Blarney Stone!
Due to current events, we are including this episode early. Kyiv is still, as of posting, an active battle zone, so we pray for the lives there and hope you'll be able to see the sites described in this episode once the war ends. We visited Kyiv in 2016, but even then the spirit of independence was thriving in the city.
Join us as we escape an attempted coup in Istanbul! We just wanted to visit the gorgeous Hagia Sophia, see the sites and sample the food of old Istanbul, maybe take a boat tour along the Bosporus, until that night, in July 2016, the military tried to overthrow the government, and the people took to the streets to fight.
Join us on our honeymoon adventure to St. Croix, where you'll discover the origin of our show's name! Learn about the little tropical brewery in the middle of Christiansted, the gorgeous Buccaneer Hotel, and snorkeling off an island that wants to kill you!
Join us on our adventure to Cuba! Learn how Americans can legally enter using the 'Support for the Cuban People' method, how to get to Varadero, and all the wonderful things to experience in this delightful country!
