Layover Lounge One (1)

In this special episode of Across New Skies, we take a quick detour from our usual guest stories and head to the Layover Lounge—a place to pause, reflect, and dive into some of the technical and logistical parts of international travel.

Host Jessica covers topics that came up in the first four episodes, including the passport process, travel documents, carry-on vs. checked baggage, customs, and more. Whether you're planning your first trip abroad or just want a refresher, this episode breaks it all down in a friendly, no-stress way.

As always, Jess is learning right alongside you.... everyone to do your own research to feel more confident before takeoff.
