Join Julia, and Eva, two real-life friends, travel lovers, knowledge seekers, and purveyors of cocktail party napalm (you know, the kinds of fascinating facts you drop at a party and blow everyone’s mind in the process with) for a weekly does of globe-trotting, travel hacks, and travel-inspired trivia.
Each episode, Julia, a writer/producer and woman about town and Eva, a writer and travel editor at Fodors, pick a travel-related theme and invite a fascinating and fun guest on to chat about it. Then, our hosts challenge the guest to a friendly round of travel trivia to find out how much they do or don’t know about the world - and how much wonder there’s left to discover. Even in the most unlikeliest of places. (Did you know that the remains of King Richard the III were found buried under a car park in England? Neither did we until we started working on this show!)
The questions are fun, but it’s the answers - and the conversations and stories they lead to - that are the real heart of the show. Think of us as the pithy travel page of your favorite glossy magazine. But, you know, for your ears!
Whether it’s finding out what the current parisian pastry craze is from a professional tour guide, exploring haunted travel with a paranormal investigator, or answering pressing questions like “do I need to buy you a present if I schlepped all the way to Bermuda for your destination wedding,” I Couldn’t Help but Wander is a show for listeners who love culture, geography, history, and getting to know the world just a little bit better - even from the comfort of their couch.

Is Disney truly the most magical place on Earth… if it’s in Florida? This week, Julia and Eva dive deep into the House of Mouse with unabashedly proud Disney Adult and Writer/Host of the Cerca Guide to Disney World, Lauren Passell. Lauren spills the tea on everything from the most underrated way to do Disney Adulting (hint: it involves a cruise), to the best place to catch the magic kingdom fireworks, to what it’s like auditioning to become a Disney cast member.
Plus, in the spirit of the hard hitting journalism the show is known for, the girls tackle some We crucial questions: how young is too young for Disney? Is the new app-based ticketing system kind of terrible? And Is it possible to die at Disneyland? (Allegedly, no. But also… maybe yes?).
Plus, what it takes to get kicked out of the very exclusive and very secretive Club 33, why Disneyland’s opening day was basically the original Fyre Festival, and whether or not it’s OK to insist that your travel companions adhere to strict set of rules in order to attain peak Disney Enjoyment. (spoiler alert: It’s not.)
P.S. Don’t sleep on the Disney food tips—because if you don’t book your dinner reservation immediately, you’re already too late.
