Your Odyssey Awaits
Have you ever wanted to go on vacation but was confused about where to start or even how to afford it? Are you someone that doesn't have the type A energy to plan every single step of your upcoming trip? Are you in your 20s or 30s, more concerned about spending your money on travel experiences instead of the typical "adult" stuff like a house or the latest material things? Well, you're in the right place. Come all aboard on the Your Odyssey Awaits podcast, where a 27-year-old female travel enthusiast shares her impressive budget-friendly travel tips and quirky adventures from her international escapades. In this show, we'll talk about the different ways to travel, how to make it more affordable, which places you should look into, and how to get by on your own or with a group. With the help of her many guests, Ody Ezeigwe will guide you in making your next upcoming trip by tuning in every other Tuesday. All aboard!
Episodes
In this episode, we have a returning guest to help me bombard the airways for not just one, not even two, but THREE back-to-back episodes! Follow along with me and my work sister Nola as we navigate around making last-minute domestic travel plans in a pandemic dystopia!
Before one makes career-changing moves and (temporarily) uproot your life, it’s a good idea to talk to a seasoned professional. In this episode, I asked Kylee from Passports and Preemies about her experience and what got her into travel nursing. Since she’s been traveling before the pandemic, so I view her as an OG in the game.

In this episode, I brought in Kay from the Awkward Traveller to talk about how she had learned to manage her medical condition during her travels. Yes, she has made her own slip-ups. And yes, it is used against her by her family.

Welcome back my bold and beautiful wanderers to a new season of Your Odyssey Awaits! This year I had a career change that *shocker* involves travel, so I’ll be covering and rating my work experiences and where I went in my free time. I also made the attempt to travel internationally and…..it’s a two-parter and you’ll just have to listen.

Welcome to the last episode of the Winter 2018 Saga for Your Odyssey Awaits! I'm happy to have brought in my travel buddy Jason to help me sorta reminisce about our time in the Czech Republic. It's always nice to prove to people that I am capable of making friends when I go off to do my own thing.
**Yes yes, we are missing a stop from my saga! Life happened and self-care was mandated by, well, me. I promise that ...
On this episode of Your Odyssey Awaits I invited the Dakara sisters to help provide some guidance about how to effectively travel with a large family. Instead, it turned into a roast between two major Texas cities and between sisters. Plus the most extensive discussion over the escape plan question. Hope you're ready for a fun time!

If you only have less than 24 hours to check out a city in Europe, I’m confident that Amsterdam is a great choice. This part of the trip is really a redemption for your host because I didn’t take full advantage in checking out on the most iconic areas: the Red Light District. Please listen to the very end (or click on the News hyperlink) about the upcoming changes to the Red Light District.
It’s time that we see the Caribbean in a whole new light! No cruises, no boujee one-stay beach resorts, why not try Carnival chasing! No, we are not talking about the cruise line. In this week’s episode of Your Odyssey Awaits, Sha explains to my naive self about what Carnival chasing is, its origins, and how cutthroat it could be if not planned early enough. It’s a chaotic event of color and culture and I am excited to look into th...
Of course, the first stop in this winter saga is in the coldest location I could think of! In the three days that I was in the country, I made sure to hit up as many iconic spots and sites as I could. From geothermal spas to countless waterfalls, hiking up a glacier to one tasty hot dog stand (yep, my priorities are well set). And of course your host just HAD to see the northern lgihts.

If you are listening to this podcast and currently in college, PLEASE RESEARCH INTO STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS! In this week’s episode of Your Odyssey Awaits, I brought on my friend Lyana because I thought we would be talking about the places that she had been showing off on Instagram. But apparently, she went all the way to the Arctic since that was an option for our college’s study abroad program. So yeah, this was a cooler deal.

It has arrived my bold and beautiful wanderers, we’ve finally reached one of my biggest achievements in my young adult life: my first international solo travel. It was so grand that I am breaking it up into 5 different episodes! Before I get into the delicious details for my trip, we first must review the origins, the heartaches, the growth, and the headaches. Otherwise known as the planning phase!

On this week’s episode of Your Odyssey Awaits, I brought on my former coworker Andy because...honestly, I am waiting for him to drop his job as an ICU nurse to become a full-time travel photographer. Especially since shit hit the fan for hospitals thanks to the ‘Rona. Listen to how Andy turned his hobby into a second career, and then check out his work to support the guy!
Raise your hand if the pyramids are the only thing that pops into your head when someone says Egypt. Yeah...I am also guilty of this.
Thankfully on this week’s episode of Your Odyssey Awaits I brought on my dear college sage Rashad to talk about both his trips to Egypt. Get to hear about other cities to visit besides Cairo and know what to expect when traveling during Ramadan
Let's be honest. I'm not a perfect and all-knowing travel guru. I've made my own fair share of..."oopies daisies" to say the least. So in order for me to be even more relatable to y'all (and provide some laughable content) here is part one of lord know how many goofs that I have committed and dealt with.

So we have already covered what it was like to live abroad in Australia. Now we’re gonna take it up a notch! On this bonus-ode of Your Odyssey Awaits, our guest Kriselle was (willingly) more than happy to talk about her experience getting married in another country. While most of us dream of a romantic destination wedding, it’s also a good idea to look into the cost and logistics of it all. Awwwww, adult love.
