    Episode 586: A Sudden Lack of Interest: Traveling with Teens
    Jun 9 2025
    Have you ever traveled with a teenager? Or maybe you have travel memories of your teenage self? Were you as insufferable a traveler as teens these days appear to be? Today we chat about what exactly turns off (is it an "interest switch"?) in the human brain around age 13 or 14 that makes incredible art, fascinating history, and amazing visual locations so very very dull. So how do you spark interest for a reluctant teen traveler, or should you not even bother? Katy and Tiffany dig into their own insufferable teenage pasts looking for an answer. ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer. To help with the staggering medical costs—her specialist is outside her insurance network—as well of the costs of temporarily relocating to San Francsico for her treatments, please consider donating to her GoFundMe. Anything you can contribute will be extremely helpful. Thank you.*** ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: For the third year in a row, we are hosting an intimate group of listeners for a magical and unforgettable week in Rome, this October 2025!

  • [THE BITTERSWEET PAST] The Thrills and Pitfalls of Dating in a Foreign Country

    [THE BITTERSWEET PAST] The Thrills and Pitfalls of Dating in a Foreign Country
    Jun 6 2025
    Is dating harder when you're an expat? Is it easier? And does your gender make a difference? If an expat dates a local, does that improve their social standing? Do all cultures flirt in the same way? What's it like to flirt in a foreign language or date someone's who's language you don't speak? Today we dig into our archives to re-air one of our very first ever episodes (Episode 5 to be exact!) in which we discuss the thrills and pitfalls dating abroad. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years! In order to help newer listeners discover some of our earlier episodes, every Friday we are now airing an episode from our vast archives! Enjoy!*** ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer. To help with the staggering medical costs—her specialist is outside her insurance network—as well of the costs of temporarily relocating to San Francsico for her treatments, please consider donating to her GoFundMe.

    Bittersweet Moment #224: Italy's Republic Day vs. the Fourth of July
    Jun 4 2025
    Americans show their patriotism on the 4th of July—Italians do it on the 2nd of June. But in very different ways! On this mini-episode, Tiffany talks about the history of the Italian Repulic (it's several centuries younger than the American republic, believe it or not!!), how it came about, and how Italians celebrate this important national holiday. ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer.
