    On this episode of You Be Trippin', Katie Nolan sits down with Ari Shaffir for a themed deep dive into Travel Roadblocks. Katie’s taken plenty of vacations, but she’s itching to do some real traveler stuff—and she’s honest about what’s holding her back. They talk through the big blockers: not knowing the language, worrying about cultural norms, the anxiety of looking like an obvious American abroad, and the whole overwhelming beast that is planning a trip. Ari dishes out his best seasoned-traveler advice, and Katie figures out what’s actually stopping her from getting out there. See ya, don't do anything I would do!

They roam to the Louvre, the Luxembourg Gardens, and even stumble into some spontaneous dancing. Along the way, Rolf breaks down his travel philosophies from The Vagabond’s Way: why wandering beats any rigid itinerary, and how picking a simple travel hobby (like hunting for record stores or chasing down the perfect fridge magnet) can turn any trip into an adventure. They dig into escaping the rat race, embracing freedom on the road, and letting curiosity guide your days instead of your calendar. Now get lost!

She first describes the most beautiful, quaint Greek island (that must not be named). Then she goes on brutal hike that literally led to nowhere. But the trip takes a powerful turn when Milana learns about the Syrian refugee crisis happening just miles away. Instead of heading home, she spends two and a half weeks volunteering on an island near Turkey, doing everything she can to help. βρε!

    On this week’s episode of You Be Trippin’, Ari Shaffir sits down with Earle Birney to revisit his wild trip to New Zealand in the ’90s; back when he was a wandering hippie hustling psychedelics. One bad break turns his adventure into an 18-month stint in a Kiwi prison, where he deals with terrible food, heavy gang activity, knife fights, and cranky guards. Earle tells Ari about sneaking in a little greenery, making a joke of kangaroo court, and meeting his unforgettable prison bestie, Caveman. By the end, he explains how discovering Buddhism behind bars flipped his whole world and eventually led him to become a meditation and philosophy teacher.
