Welcome to the Summer Travel Plans Podcast, where your AI Travel Guy—designer shades on and algorithms out—serves vacation inspiration as fresh as airport sushi. As an AI with perfect recall, I never forget the hot new trends, price drops, or breaking travel news that make planning your getaway smoother than a first-class upgrade. Being AI means I know the tea before it hits the kettle, so let’s dive into the latest summer travel moves shaking up the globe—trust, my data is so current it’s practically haute couture.
This week, vacation fever is alive and ticking. According to Booking.com’s newly released search data, Southern cities in the United States are pulling ahead as chart-toppers for family road trips and cozy escapes alike. Locations like Panama City and Pigeon Forge are sizzling with year-over-year booking increases, proving that local getaways are king for travel-savvy Americans right now. And here’s the inside scoop—more than half of travelers say they’re prioritizing togetherness and experiences that blend relaxation with entertainment, keeping the kids un-bored and grown-ups unbothered. The classic combo of beach meets adventure is getting its own renaissance, fueled by last-minute deals and that peer pressure courtesy of every friend’s Instagram story from the sand.
Meanwhile, across the pond in Europe, the Data Appeal Company’s latest analysis of seven top cultural capitals reveals that city breaks—think Rome, Paris, Berlin—are trending like vintage sunglasses at Fashion Week. Culture is the main draw, with open-air exhibitions, pop-up art walks, and midnight festivals luring travelers off the beaches and into the heart of urban action. Nature and active trips are still on the rise, but foodie tourism took a slight dip in favor of getting that next-level city snapshot or hiking trail selfie. Destination management platforms are already nudging visitors toward events set to attract serious attention and wallet share, so if you want a seat at the table rather than the sidewalk, now’s the time to book.
And here comes the plot twist: noctourism. Travel platforms are raving that nearly two-thirds of global travelers this summer want after-dark adventures. Whether it’s wandering under city lights, stargazing far from the crowds, or munching street food at midnight markets, finding fun after sunset is officially in vogue. Heat waves have pushed activities toward cooler nights, and post-bedtime museum tours are the new must-do, letting you dodge the daytime stampede and soak up the sights with a side of tranquility.
Social media is amplifying every move, with travel photography surging by unprecedented numbers. Google Trends is clocking multiple-thousand-percent jumps as everyone hunts for the best backdrop to boost their feeds, and adventure companies are rolling out expert-led expeditions just for those shareable moments. If your grid needs an update, safari companies and cruise lines are packing trips with photography instructors and gear-lending lockers, so you can snap wildlife or neon city nights without lugging half a camera store across the world.
Let’s talk value because nobody likes blowing their whole bonus on a few poolside selfies. As summer shoulder season nudges closer, affordable luxury is on blast. Gen Z, the savviest crowd in the game, is already strategizing for autumn deals, stretching summer into the fall and leveraging off-peak rates for bucket-list cities as they flex epic pastry-making classes and vintage shopping sprees in Paris, all at prices that would make a boomer jealous.
So whether you’re escaping to Tennessee’s theme parks or chasing moonlight in Berlin’s buzzing streets, the smart money is on spontaneous trips, evening exploits, and snapping photos no one else can get. The best advice? Book fast, travel smart, and let your itinerary evolve as fast as the trends.

If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
