Your favorite sister duo is back to chat and catch up, just the two of them this week. They discuss everything about the gastronomy capital of the world: Lyon, France. An easy 2-hour train ride from Paris, Lyon is a must-visit spot for foodies and travelers. You’ll hear about Lyonnais dishes and traditional restaurants called Bouchons. They discuss the Rhône valley wine region and Kelcy tells the story of being denied entry to a wine tour because of the “wrong shoes”. Don’t make the same mistake she did. Lyon recommendations: Food - quenelle de Lyon, andouillette sausage, Praluline from Pralus Restaurant - any local Bouchon (look for the symbol!) Wineries - Domaine de corps de Loup (wear the right shoes!) Hotel - Intercontinental Lyon (Hotel Dieu) Park/Hiking - Pilat Park Interested in the IHG credit card? Use this link to sign up!

We learn about cultural sites such as Elmina Castle and The Last Bath, where, after walking hundreds of miles from the slave markets, the enslaved washed themselves before being sold to Europeans. We also hear stories about what not to do when you get a snake bite, and about machete men who can apparently fix broken down buses.

| 07 Nov 2024 | 41: Copenhagen, Denmark | 00:49:04 | |
Your favorite sister duo learns about why Copenhagen is one of the happiest cities in the world. The Danish live by “hygge”, which is a lifestyle of contentment and conviviality that comes from doing simple things with people you love. The city is full of parks to relax in and enjoy a coffee and a Danish pastry, but is also bustling with bicycling, eating, and shopping. Copenhagen even allows for an easy day trip to Sweden if you are looking for even more to do. Copenhagen recommendations: Nyhavn - main waterfront district with canal tours, colorful townhouses, restaurants, and cafes Frederiksberg Gardens - huge park great for running/biking or relaxing; also has the elephant lookout point Kongens Have (The King’s Garden) - beautiful gardens and castle views Restaurant - Reffen, the largest street food market in Northern Europe (only open March-September) Day trip - across the Øresund Bridge to Malmö, Sweden Danish variety store - Flying Tiger Check out our website: loveitthere.square.site Follow Love It There on Instagram: @loveittherepod Prefer video podcasts?

Your favorite sister duo chat with their guest Valerie Bowden, who backpacked the entire continent of Africa from Cape Town, South Africa, to Cairo, Egypt and then lived in Ethiopia for eight years. She shares shocking stories about letting a hyena eat a piece of meat right out of her mouth, gorilla trekking in Uganda, swimming with sharks in South Africa, seeing the pyramids in Sudan, and sleeping in a kind woman’s bed when the hotels in town were full. She talks about how the United States should view Africa as a lively, beautiful continent instead of seeing it as somewhere to “help”. Now living in the United States, Valerie founded CRDLE to help companies hire out of Africa. We loved learning about Africa and you’ll have a totally different perspective on the continent after this episode.
