We are back together in today’s episode to talk all about our Intercontinental Summer Tour: our 18-day North American and European adventure that had us at both the Copa America and Euro 2024, attending a total of 7 tournament matches, 5 of which, between the two of us were in 5 different cities, on 5 consecutive days, and… as you can probably guess, across 2 different continents. Passionate? We are. A bit crazy? Perhaps. Borderline psychotic?… we… are… seeing someone about that. Labels aside, in this episode we run through our itinerary, answer a listener FFT question, and leave you with some great footy travel tips from our whirlwind summer.
