  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Getawayz! We’re Erin and Lisa—friends and roommates who moved from the U.S. to Europe in 2017. With Erin’s teenage son and Lisa’s dog, Rex. We’ve spent years traveling across the continent, uncovering hidden gems and navigating the quirks of life abroad.

    Our podcast is all about sharing the adventures of exploring Europe, from finding dog-friendly destinations to discovering activities that keep a teenager engaged. We bring you personal stories, practical travel tips, and an honest look at what it’s like to live and wander as migrants in Europe.

  • Amsterdam: Yes or No? (Spoiler: It’s a Yes.)
    Apr 14 2025

    In this episode, We're diving into our time in Amsterdam — the canals, the chaos, the charm — and answering the big question: is it actually worth visiting? (Spoiler alert: yes. Always yes.)

    We’ll share what we loved, what surprised us, how it felt visiting with a teen, and a few places that didn’t quite live up to the hype. Plus, fair warning: my Dutch pronunciation is truly tragic — but I powered through for the love of stroopwafels.

    So grab your bike (or don’t, we have thoughts), and let’s talk Amsterdam. You can read more about Amsterdam on our website here.
