Bitches Abroad
This is Bitches Abroad, a podcast that was started by two friends that suck at staying in touch with each other when they don’t live in the same city. This podcast will center around living abroad, traveling (international and domestic), and everything that goes along with that. They understand their perspective is only one and that they have immense privilege for the experiences they have gained in life. It should also be noted that everything they say should be taken with a grain of salt because really that makes the tequila tastier. Remember to hope for the worst, and expect the worst.
