The newest episode of the Newsmakers Podcast features host Greg Enslen interviewing Cailey Petsch and Kaylee Foster, who share the story behind their bold and spontaneous European adventure. Cailey, an article writer for the Tippecanoe Gazette known for her “Lunch Break” column reviewing local eateries, brings a natural storytelling style to the conversation. Together, the two explain how they decided to take a leap and travel abroad on December 29, 2025, embracing the unknown in search of new experiences.

They describe how they used Contiki tours to find an affordable travel option, allowing them to visit destinations like London, Paris, and Galloway, Ireland without breaking their budget. Their journey began at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport, where excitement quickly set in as they prepared to cross the Atlantic. The episode highlights not just the logistics of planning such a trip, but also the sense of courage and curiosity that pushed them to go through with it.

When they arrived in London, they were immediately struck by the city’s rich culture and energy. Even though they only stayed in London for 21 hours, they made every moment count, visiting iconic landmarks like Big Ben, watching the Royal Guard, enjoying a meal in Chinatown, and ending their night at a lively speakeasy and gay bar that kept them out until sunrise. Their story captures the thrill of fast-paced travel and the unforgettable memories that can come from stepping outside of your comfort zone.
